I posted this question in another section (and got no response) but after reading one of the threads from a couple of months ago I thought this might be a more appropriate section to post in. (Sorry for the duplication)
I'm interested in hearing from those of you who made contact when the adoptee was 17, 18 or even in their early 20's.
Knowing that reunion is an emotional situation, and that it may even be harder for someone who is younger I'm interested in your thoughts. Would you have done anything different??? Do you have any suggestions??? I have a reunion planned in a few months and am interested in your thoughts.
why not try posting this on the adoptee forum.....you'll probably get some more responses over there, if you want opinions of adoptees that is!

This thread which is pretty active may help you. The question wasn't your exact question, it was more of "should I or shouldn't I?" about contacting an 18-yr old adoptee. But in response many adoptees have shared their thoughts and feelings about their reunions at their respective ages. You could join in there or ask them to check out your other thread and share with you there.

Hope this helps!
Thanks I'll check those out. I'm also interested in hearing if birthmom's have any thoughts, suggestions etc.
How did you get a hold of your birth parents?
I've been adopted since I was out of my mom so, can you give me adivce to find them?
