I've just started my search for my birth family. In talking to my best friend about it, she asked me about my parents. She wanted to know what they thought about my searching. I had to admit that I hadn't told them anything yet. Now I'm worried about telling them. I haven't found anything about my birth family yet, so right now there'd be nothing to tell accept that I'm searching.
If anyone out there has any advice to share it would be a big help. I'm not sure if I should keep my parents in the loop from day one, or wait until I've found something on my birth family first.
Help!

Jocelyn,
I am an adoptive mom and for me this is what I would want. Of course this all hinges on how good your relationship is with your parents.
You should let your parents know that they are your parents and that your love for them will not change just because you would like to locate your bparents. Reassurance can go a long way. If you are willing, let them know that you would like there help in finding them too. And that you want them to be a part of this journey.
It will be hard for all involved but communication will be a key part in this. Good luck in your journey.
