That has been my own experience as an aunt to 4 children placed in closed adoptions. It has been hard to find and to connect to other extended birthfamily who grieved with their family member (the birthparent), and suffer with their own sense of loss as I certainly do.<br /> <br /> I am sure you will do a fine job with the topic of closed adoption, I must admit though (no slight to you intended) that I miss Jan and her perspective, even if we did not always see eye to eye.
