Started search May '11-scared & excited-any advise?

At age 42, I am finally searching for my BMom...wanted to so many times, but didn't want to hurt my adoptive parents - even though we are not super close. I had a baby girl last year, and since she was born, I knew I had to search...for any information I can find regarding health & heritage - in addition to the fact that I do know my BMom has blue eyes - mine are brown and her Dad's are green. My baby Grace has blues, and it's so hard looking into them every day knowing they could my BMom's. I sent a letter and paperwork to LSS last week, and now I wait in line to hear something/anything. I am scared and excited. Anyone have any stories or advise? Kris
