Bloggers are everywhere! They write about every subject imaginable including adoption. When time permits, I enjoy hearing from other birth parents and adoptees and their experiences with search and reunion.
Although I did not search, I have spoken to many people who have and it has given me many insights into the subject. Here are some blogs from those who are reunited or searching:
1.
Relinquishing, Reunion and Journey to Adopting is a new blog that I just found. I know a few other birth moms who have adopted as well. It certainly affects your prospective when adopting if you are a birth mom.

Ramblings of a Shadow - Wraith's Realm is a dear friend of mine. He had the agency that handled his adoption undertake a search for him. I have written several posts about how frustrating and unproductive their search has been. One of his latest post "Seven Letters for Seven Women" explains where his search currently stands.

The Journey of Reunion - An Adoptee's Story This 25 year old discusses her reunion with her birth mother which is over a year old. She seems to want more from the relationship than her birth mom, and is finding that frustrating.

Every Scar is a Bridge is an adoptee still in the process of a search. She is an that unenviable waiting stage. Although she doesn't post often, several of her posts can give you some insights into thoughts of an adoptee searching.

Musings of the Lame - FauxClaud is her on-screen name, and she describes herself as an anti-adoption mama, so many readers will not like all that she says. However,she writes with passion, conviction and has a wonderful flare for the dramatic. She has a gift for words, and can sometimes help people to understand issues as few others can. Claud found her son Max on MySpace about a year or so ago, and they have been in touch via email ever since. No meeting face-to-face for them has happened yet.
