When a family decides to adopt and goes through the process, do they know the mother before the baby is born?
If you go through DCFS, formerly CPS, then it depends. If the child was taken away from the mother/father, then you would know their names. If the mom gave up the child under the Safe Haven Law (i.e. at a fire/police station), then you wouldn't know who the mother/father is and neither would DCFS.
Going through a private adoption you would know the mother and the only issue would be whether the bio mom is involved or not (opened vs. closed).

In other words, if a mother, who decided to give her child up for adoption, then learns she is having twins, is that information the family who is looking to adopt is made aware of?
This would only be applicable under a private adoption IMO, but I would guarantee they would be made aware.

The Russians are supposedly using altered DNA tests as a way to infiltrate the US- so be careful.
Okay, I made that up.
On a serious note- I hope it all works out for you and is a positive, happy experience for all involved. Family is a precious thing, man.

Not to derail this thread, but I'm curious at what age were you told that you were adopted? My wife and I are finalizing the adoption of our 5 month old and we want to eventually tell him, but have no clue as to when.
My dog is 13 and we still haven’t told him.

Just curious, how did she find you when you ran into dead ends?
My bio mom had been seeing a doctor for her pregnancy at the same hospital my sister’s mom (ER RN) was employed by. She knew beforehand that my bio mom was going to give us for adoption, so she made arrangements to adopt my sis and there was another couple that was getting me, but the deal fell through for me and she doesn’t know why. Not long after the adoption, my sis and her parents moved off to California, where she spent the majority of her life. Her parents informed her that she’d been adopted when she was in hs (another long story). After years of searching she finally located my bio mom and it was through her that she found me.

I don’t have a memory of ever being sat down and there having been a big revealing moment. It was just part of everyday conversation as I am told. Basically, I’ve always known. I was only two weeks old when my adoptive family brought me home, and I guess it was just a part of how they raised me.

So your twin sister’s adoption was kept a secret from her until she was in high school?
When did they tell her she had a twin?

Did you ever have a feeling like you were missing something? They say twins have a connection that regular siblings don't.
tbh I can’t say for certain, but there was something nagging the shite outta me to find out.

Please post updates if you haven’t already. Good luck with it all.

Dude
Went through something similar.
All you have to do is both take the same commercial test like 23 and me or family tree. You don’t have to give out any info. Once you are in the data base, if there is a close match, like a twin sister, sibling, parent, etc, it will tell you. If they are legit, great. If not, you are protected
Good Luck

At the time her parents was going through a nasty divorce, they were involved in a custody battle for her younger siblings when she found out about their little secret. That’s when the truth came out about a twin brother.

I was adopted
Told so young I can’t remember when I was told. Very easy to accept. 4,5,6 ish. I knew before 1st grade if I remember

You don't think that's a little weird? First contact and she tells him to take a DNA test to verify?
Time is valuable. I would have asked her before she asked me so I'm not wasting my time with a stranger. I also wouldn't want my emotions going wild without REALLY knowing.
It seems pretty simple to most of us.

How old are y'all? Will you have lots of time together if you are siblings?

SO, are you going to exchange DNA?

Not that it matters but I'm confused. Your adoptive mom and your sister's biological mom were patients at the same time? Or was your adoptive mom the ER RN??
Regardless, this intrigues me and I wish the best for you!

Wow. That's pretty cool because you would have a lot of time if things go right. You see the stories on tv where the people are in their 70's or 80's, so there's not much time left for them.
Hope it works out however you want it to.

My sister’s adoptive mom was the ER nurse at the same hospital where i was born. My bio mom was a patient of a doctor in a different part of the hospital.
