Hi - we have a 14 year old adopted daughter who we received at birth via a domestic adoption. She is the center of our worlds and (yes, I’m biased) but the most amazing kid. She’s always been spunky and self assured - just a true joy. We met her birth mom during the delivery and loved her. We sent pictures and letters facilitated via the adoption agency while my daughter was younger. We’ve always wanted to be open, honest, transparent in every way - sharing what we learned about her birth parents through the adoption process etc. I recently saw a FB page on my daughter’s computer that is her birth mother’s page. My daughter Mr doesn’t know that I saw it. My daughter doesn’t have a FB account, but I think that she was able to find this via digging around online. Her birthmother is now married with two small children. My daughter hasn’t mentioned any of this to us and I’m worried that she is sitting with this all alone - she can see her birth mother’s life, knows that she has two half siblings etc. We are not sure what to do as my daughter has no idea that we know she’s found this information. We’d love to talk through it with her and see if she’s interested in making contact with her birthmother. Any advice on how to best support our daughter?
