Why didn't you look for your birth parents?

I was not the kind of person who ever put too much thought into searching for my biological parents. When I had my kids, that changed. My connection with my son's made me even more curious about them. I decided I was ready to search and took an Ancestry DNA test. My birth father passed away from cancer three days before I found them.I won't lie and say all reunions are great. Many are far from it. There are family secrets and parents who don't want to be found. My birth mother was happy I had found her and my full sisters but very hesitant about having a relationship. How do tell all the people u know that you have a child you have kept secret for over thirty years?After a couple of months she got over that. Now everyone knows, and we are very close. I can't imagine my life without her or my sisters in it.People are not perfect. If you want to keep that image of your birth mom than that's ok. Just consider that people don't live forever.
