ETA: Keep us posted on you search for your bio family. I'm interested to hear what you find out.
So far I've found out that she has an artistic, creative job but not a "starving artist" or "rock star" job (somehow I'm not surprised), and she's in shock about being found and worried that I'll call her house and end up spilling the beans to my little sister who still lives with her and hasn't been told a thing.
From what I've read, not telling anybody is pretty common - many consider it a deeply shameful secret. Come to think of it, I've met and known several adoptees, but I don't recall ever speaking to anyone outside of forums dedicated to that sort of thing, other than the investigator, who admitted to having given a baby up for adoption.
Anyway, she would like to only exchange letters and pictures for now (seems sensible to me, even if it's kind of a bummer from my point of view), so I'll be writing this weekend. Upbeat, confident, interesting life - good. "I've been waiting all my life to finally meet you!" - not good.
And if she's lurking here, I'll probably never hear from her

a fine and enviable madness, this delusion that all questions have answers, and nothing is beyond the reach of a strong left arm.
