I'll bet she is and congratulations!  Perhaps more importantly, hooray for
both of you for being such great parents to help your daughter find her birth
mother.  That must have been a heart-healing event for both of them.

I did not realize that adoptive parents were getting bad press.  I don't
understand why that would be.  I don't trust mainstream media anymore based
on my knowledge of it's misrepresentation of the disability community, but
what's its beef about adoptive parents?
