Birthmom rights after adoption?

My MIL was adopted, and she only looked for her bio parents after her adopted parents had passed away. She found her bio mother, but said she felt absolutely no connection, did not even like her. But she did find a bio brother through her, whom she has a good relationship with. I have heard of adopted children who were never interested in finding their bio parents until they were parents themselves.
Personally, if my LG wants to find her bio mother one day, I will help her. I have a picture for her in the meantime. And is she doesn't, that is also ok with me.

Kerry, I think for a lot of people that may be true. My Mom kept photo's of my biological father for me, if I ever got curious to see. I guess my life was just very complete with the family I had, and I never had the need to know. In my mind my Dad has never been the man who conceived me, but rather the man that raised me.

I'm not disputing that some people would like to know, but I think there are quite a few of us out there who are indifferent to it.

I think I am talking from the grandchilds point of view - you may not really need to know but J may want to know more. So I am just suggesting you have some pics and info that is all. I don't think you need to have a relationship just some facts and stories.

I think I also felt a little lost as my dad's adoptive parents never liked my mom much (she was africans and did not come from a prominent family) and they never liked small children. So I felt cheated on the grandparent stakes.

But also I think there is so much more info available these days.
