I'm sorry for the confusion... I'm trying to get a specific answer without going into too much personal detail, and that obviously doesn't work. Here's the deal. I was adopted, in 1973. Now, my birth mother is coming forward, and trying to beome a part of my life. I'm on the fence about how I feel about the whole situation. I never really thought much about my birth parents...
But, now here's this woman, and she's telling me that the only reason that she gave me up was because she was underage, and it was her parent's decision, not hers. In fact, she's stating that she never signed any adoption papers, that her parents are the only ones who signed. They had power of attorney, while she was a minor. Since she refused to divulge the identity of the birth father, he and his family never became involved.
I'm on the net, trying to discover if this is even possible, or if she's trying to win me over with some sob story. I'm not sure if you can answer my question or not... or even if the answer is going to affect how I deal with this woman. But, I'm curious.
If you can't answer me, maybe you can point me in the right direction - who else can I ask?
Thanks,
