Unless her daughter has registered with one of the adoption registers I would counsel your friend to lodge a letter with the adoption agency in case she ever comes looking and leave it at that. In her state of health how would she cope with the rejection that often comes from such approaches. On TV we only see the happy endings and I always wonder what percentage of the cases they follow declined the invitation. Also as grannyactivist says, think about the effect on the daughter of meeting and then discovering that her birthmother is in fact dying. My daughter found that her birthmother had already died and that was devastating enough. I was just thankful that my daughter didn’t find her in time to watch her dying. My friend found her son only to be told thanks but no thanks and go away. It’s all a bit of a minefield.
