I don't feel any sympathy for her. I was an infant adoptee, and I'm glad to be alive. I don't have any way of finding either bio parent (the adoption was in Quebec, and they were notorious for keeping them top secret in those days), at least she has a mother who can tell her about half of her family tree. That's way more than I have.
Besides, family trees are about the past, I prefer to live my life in the present and the future.
