RE: [LegacyUG] Enter adopted parents family?

I had a good experience meeting my biological parents. Ever since I was a small child I was told that I was adopted. Then, when I was 33 years old, my adoptive Dad gave me all my adoption papers and his blessing for me to find my biological parents. I took me a year and a half and I found them. It

RE: [LegacyUG] Enter adopted parents family?

Thanks Glen, that is what I wanted to know. However, emotions DO play a part, at least in my research. Knowing my daughter-in-laws feelings about her biological parents vs. her adopted parents, and the fact that she provided me a family history of her adopted parents, I have no concern (feelings)
