New kind of Facebook search?

I was reading a Time magazine article last night about adoptees using Facebook to find birth parents. Not sure why I was surprised by this, but I was. The woman in the article spent 30 years looking for her birth mom until she decided to try Facebook. She found her within 1 day. She also found her birth father and the boy she gave up for adoption.

I've never thought of doing a Facebook search for our birth mom, but it briefly got me wondering if she has ever tried looking for us. My guess is not which would be my preference since I think adoption searches should start with the adoptee.

And while I'm not really concerned about being found, it won't be via Facebook since I recently deactivated my account.
