should i look for my sister no matter what the consequences?

im in my mid 30's and mum told me when I was 18 that I had a half sister older than me adopted out and she does'nt want to bring up the past by finding her(bad relationship i think). Just recently I have started the ball rolling for my own sake, but the small print on the adoption records state that details of my mother would be given to her if she was found, which then goes against my mothers wishes. I'm an only child and have allways wanted a sibling, what should i do?

    Have a talk with your mother. Explain to her how it is important to you to find your sister. Ask her to participate in this quest for family. Your mother gave up your sister a long time ago, and may have mellowed since then. (A bad relationship 35 years ago looks very insignificant after all this time has elapsed.)

    Good luck to you.

    It sounds like your mother is scared to face her more than anything.But,your mother has also left the door open for her to find your mother.If your mother is still alive,ask her if she wants her found.If she isn't,then I would definately pursue it.Odds are she is looking for you as well.
