hello my name is steve and I am doing research for my thesis. I am an MSW student in CT. and would like to get information about the following:

If you were searching for your birth family did you have
preconceived expectations about your reunion meeting or other type of contact?

How did the expectation of this meeting match up with the reality of the actual contact?

What else if anything could have helped you handle this situation i.e. counseling, additional support systems

thank you very much for your help with this very important topic.
