I'm adopted, found my birth mother 25 years ago, I'm 55. I have two half sibs. We all get along great and it has been a healing experience for them and me. Also found my Dad's two living sisters. He committed suicide when he was 20 or so. Also has been a nice experience on that side of the family. All circumstances are different. I was raised by well meaning folks who did well for the most part but genetics is a strong link. You bio mom may come around. I would ask her if she has an issue with you contacting your siblings. Many bio families have heard horror stories about adopted kids with baggage and wanting stuff, money, apologies, etc. when they come knocking. If they realize you just want information and a possible relationship they may welcome that over time.
