I was adopted as a baby and have never really had any urge to trace my "real" family. I had a very happy childhood and didn't think a great deal about the fact that I was adopted.
However, this all changed with the arrival of my twin DDs - particularly when I hear my in-laws describing how they are so like their side of the family! I am thinking about trying to make contact through the adoption society.
I would be interested to hear about any experiences of adoption from mumsnetters. Has anyone traced their birth families - would love to hear about it, good and bad!
