  1. Mary Gallert Communicative Adoptive Parents Mary Gallert was lucky in many respects when she first found out that she was adopted at the age of 6. Instead of stonewalling her and refusing to let her know anything about adoption or her birth parents, her adoptive parents offered all of the help that they could provide and encouraged her to be open and honest with her feelings and questions.Meeting a birth parent for the first time will put the fact that you were adopted in extremely sharp focus, which can cause a lot of distress for those who aren’t prepared.
