A. I would talk to the planning committee - because I would imagine kids who moved & graduated from a different school would be welocome as well as those who dropped out or graduated in a different year Now that were adults I think their won't be the high school clique-y experience - so ask!

How do high school reunions work?
Q. Who is in charge of the reunions and how do they track down everyone to invite after so many years have gone by? Also do they invite everyone, how do they make sure they don t forget anyone? And when do they usually take place, any specific season or anything?

A. the way my high school did it: When you where back in Highschool, your senior year you did fund raising and what not. Well, when you left, the money you didn't use got put into a savings account to collect interest to be used for your reunion. USUALLY, those that held the 'office' positions your senior year are entrusted with organizing the event. So, whoever was your President, VP, Secretary, etc would be in charge of it. I have seen them take place in early Spring, to late Summer. Usually around the time you would graduate highschool, give or take a month. they should invite eveyone, they should use multiple ways to find people, FRIENDS, Parents, School records, Myspace, Facebook etc.

How can found birth mothers help make reunions successful?
Q. My son whom I placed for adoption 22 years ago found me recently, and I'm absolutely over the moon about it, as is his biological sister. However, nearly every adoption board, blog, message board etc I've visited seems to be chock full of negativity re: reunions. They make it sound like a good reunion is impossible...but surely there are successful reunited parent/children out there, right? So anyone who has had positive experiences can you advise me on what to do and what not to do? I really want to make this to work for all of us.

A. My reunion WAS positive. What my f-mom did was let me guide the reunion process in what ever direction I was comfortable with. She didn't push me and she didn't back off either. She was upfront and honest about everything, even the hard stuff. One thing I've found out is that almost every adoptee has some sort of fall out post reunion... (after the first face to face) Depression, sadness, all sorts of negative feelings come bubbling back up again. It's not a reflection of how good or bad the reunion went... it's just a normal reaction to a very abnormal situation. What to do? Be honest, forthright, and clear. Don't lie, fudge the facts, or avoid them. Even if it's something bad. Don't treat the adoptee like a shameful situation.… [cont.]
