What would you ask your birth mother if you finally found her?

I agree with everyone else to tread lightly and know she may not want to discuss some difficult topics. It may take a few meetings before she will be comfortable answering some questions.

Like others, we know people who’ve been through this. One parent wanted to be found and was very open, happy when they were contacted. The other parent was less open and didn’t want same level of contact. I think it’s easier for the aunt (your bio dad’s sister) to be more forthcoming as she’s a step removed from the situation, than it will be for your bio mother, as this may open up difficult memories/feelings for her. I like all the getting to know you suggestions people have listed. I know when I’m excited I can fire off a dozen questions and prattle on, this is a time to not do that and just ease into things. I hope it goes well for you
