Dear Lily

I am a 17 year old boy. I'm adopted and through my life i've always wondered about my birth mother. I want to find her, but I don't want to make my parents feel like i'm being disrespectful. It's just that, I want to know for myself why she gave me away. My social worker ignores my questions and so do my parents. I know they love me and want the best for me. I just don't want to live the rest of my life feeling like I wasn't good enough for my birth mother to keep me. Should I pursue this or leave it alone?

Sincerely,
