re: Is anyone here adopted?

My mom is the product of an affair, and was adopted when she was born. Best thing to ever happen to her. My grandmother is one the greatest people in the world.

Mom and her birth mother had a cordial relationship for a good while, but it ended on bad terms and now her mother is dead.

She has a really good relationship with her birth siblings though.

From what I gather in these threads over the years, things can usually go pretty well if there’s siblings out there to be found, but it rarely ends good between the parent(s) and the offspring.
