This group is for families who adopted from Hubei and who wish to see if their child might have a bio-sibling who also was adopted.
Bio-siblings are not necessarily adopted via the same SWI. This group thus provides a Hubei-wide venue for interested families to post basic info and photos of their children, in the hope that another family might see a resemblance and wish to pursue more information.
While discovering a bio-sibling is exciting, issues of profound significance may arise for our children and ourselves. Potential pitfalls and ramifications of sibling searches must be considered. This group is a secure place to explore and discuss these issues in a sensitive and understanding way.
