9. I imagine that the internet has been a Godsend to many adoptees.

There is finally a place where they can talk freely and have their feelings acknowledged. Before the internet, there wasn't too much of a community where people could find each other and exchange thoughts. There may have been an organization or two, but most people were unfamiliar with them. Today there are countless blogs that offer validation to the adoptee's experience from their own point of view, rather than what they are told to feel.

That goes double for birth mothers.
