Is it an open adoption? Maybe you could put a note in her file or give a letter to the adoptive parents or something like that for when she has questions. It may still not happen, but perhaps you could just up the odds a little. Just a thought, obviously there are a lot of things that go into placing a child with an adoptive family and I don't know them or where you're at with your emotions and connections and such.

^ This

You can always leave something for your child incase she ever does want to find her biological family. My birth mother left me a note and it turned out I had an older half-sister. We don't always get along, but we still love each other.

I didn't meet her until I was 26 either.

It's semi-open, and I'm talking with the adoptive family now about how much contact will happen, etc. If nothing else, since I'm using an agency my name will be there for her to find if she ever wants to. It does help.

OP I agree with the others, I think you should definitely leave a letter, and as much info as you can. My mother met her brother when they were 50 or so, I've had an uncle ever since, and cousins, and it's been great. However it would have been so much greater if they could have met as young people, but of course that generation didn't have open adoption and it was all difficult, he had to work hard to track my Mum down, and his mother, as in my gran, had died years before.
