Right now, your only a senior in high school and your just figuring out some of life's hard questions. Soon though, you will have hard questions for life. Being adopted, we face questions that most people don't. You've been given a rare opportunity to ask them. Let's start with the basics, do any diseases run in your family history? Your going to need to know this-not only for you- but for insurance forms, medical forms, if you think that you might want to have kids, plus it could save your life. Ask what you know. Your probably between the ages of 17 & 19- so, ask her what she was like then. You may be surprised at what you share in common besides genes. Ask if she had met your father, yet? Listen with your heart, not just your head. From there, you can ask why she chose to give you up. I'm sure that your parents love and want you-or they never would have adopted you...you were always meant to be theirs- so if you feel up to it thank the woman who gave you life so they could give you A Life. Best of Luck & a big hug.

Hello everyone, I have been looking for help. I am a senior in high school, doing a senior project, and mine is on looking for my birth mother. After a few hours of searching, I finally found her. We have talked on the phone, but we both had no idea what to say. What I am asking is, what can I ask? What can I say? The catch is I don't want to push her comfort level, nor mine. So if there are any suggestions, please feel free to e-mail me. Thanks, McKenna
