[QUOTE="Smithmom, post: 743852, member: 23371"] All of mine were closed adoptions legally. The youngest one's contacted us on his 21st bd and has had some contact. She stopped that. I think she will want to meet one day. But my son has limited understanding. The middle one contacted her on fb and she denied it. The oldest as above and she won't want any contact. I have them listed on reunion websites. So there's a significant risk of rejection which they have to be ready for. As in my son's case I think if there was drug abuse during pregnancy and that situation has changed there is higher risk of rejection. I also think there's a huge loss of info if the birthfather was not known. How can we talk about feeling "whole" if the birthfather is not known. Also, will she want to admit that there may not hgave been any relationship with the birthfather [/QUOTE]
