I think for a lot of people, they want answers as to why they were given up and to me that's like trying to create a fantasy. You might not like the answers, exactly like this case. Who would want to know that they were the product of rape? Bless the woman for going through with that pregnancy, I can't imagine how hard that was. To give birth and still give the child a life, that took a lot. The daughter needs to focus on that gift and move on.

^I agree.
And then as other people have stated the media creates these sugar-coated, fairy tale happy ending reunions and that's not how it works in real life!
For example, on Smart Guy a few weeks ago Mo found out he was adopted and he ended up tracking down what he thought was his birth mother and it was all "Hi mom, I'm your son!" and they acted as if they were never apart, wtf?
Talk about bad television.
I have to admit, if I knew I were adopted I'd be curious and try to find my bio parents but if I knew they didn't want anything to do with me I'd kindly step back and accept it.
I'd be sad, confused and maybe even angry...but I'd respect their wishes.
