To me this is a tough question. We adopted our son as an infant through foster care in a closed adoption. At what age do you think we should suggest we start looking for his birth parents? Or do we just wait for him to ask?

How old is your son??
How much does your son know about his past?
As a Parent, I would be concerned about Genetic Medical Factors or at least seek some type of Medical Advocacy.
The other factor which my 78 year old Dad encountered with ' Search and Reunion ' was or is why did Mom choose Adoption?

Honestly, you probably should start right away. You don't know how long it will take and you don't know when or if your son will want to know. If you find them, at least when he's of that mindset, you're prepared.

I would imagine this is a conversation you could start in his late teens . . . just putting out feelers to let him know that you're comfortable with the idea of reunion and that you'll be there to help him search if/when he wants to.
