As an adoptee who feels much the same way as Kristin (i.e., I don’t have any interest in finding my birth parents), I hope that everyone out there can respect the experiences of other individuals. For some people an open adoption is something that suits them and their family situations and for others there might be little or no interest in discovering their biological parents. I hope that one person’s experience doesn’t invalidate another person’s. It is not my intention to judge or criticize those who try to find their birth families, it simply my experience.

At the end of the day all we can do is know that we have done our best. Your daughter will be proud of you. (teenage years not included)

as an adoptee I have never understood how other adoptees can feel this way.

I’m sorry that this feeling snuck out at you from a book.
