has anyone ever searched for a birth mother or father???
i have been thinking of looking for my birth father. he doesnt know that i was ever born. i would kind of like to know him, but i dont want to mess up anyones life.
i should have said that i wasnt adopted. my mother never told my father that she was pregnant with me. i understand why she never told him, and i dont blame her for growing up without a father. i think he has a right to know that i am his daughter, but i dont know if it will mess up his life.

I was adopted and found my birth mother several years ago and my biological sisters. All of them (except for one of my sisters) were thrilled that I found them. The other sister wouldn't have anything to do with me.
I never was able to find my birth father or find out his name.
I think it's good for adult adoptees to find their biological parents if they want to. It answers so many questions, including medical ones. I also think it's important to do this carefully so you don't disrupt someone else's life, but in most cases they are happy to see their children.
I was surprised that after I found my biological family that I didn't have a lot of contact with them. I taked to them occasionally, but eventually lost contact altogether. I think my biological mother may have died, but I'm not positive. I do know that once I found them I was aware of how truly lucky I was to be adopted. My life was so much better than it would have been had I been raised in my birth family. All of my sisters dropped out of high school and have struggled to find jobs that could support them. I was very fortunate to be placed in a family that cared for me, gave me a good education and loved me.
Finding my birth family hasn't changed who I am, but it's answered a lot of questions for me. I'm glad that I did it.
Good luck.

If I were you, I wouldnt want to look up my birth parents, mother or father. If they love you and long for you, let them come looking for you. In the first place they should not have left you even before you were born. Just be grateful and love your adopted parents who graciously bring you up , providing your needs and educations whilst your birth parents didnt do anything but just planted the seed and off they went., and never came came for you. The gratitude you should repay are to your adopted parents who spent the precious part of their life time with you. May God Bless you.

Yes, I have, but never found either my birth mother or father. At this point in my life (I'm 36 years old), the way I see it, if they wanted to find me, they could. But I don't see the point anymore. Even though I'm pretty sure I have siblings that have no idea I even exist. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

If it is important to you, you should. I've looked some for my mom, but I haven't had much luck yet.
