It's impossible for me, to say what to do. Of course you've known about your adoption, and I'm sure you've wondered about your biological parents. That, combined with this letter, will have set up certain ideas in your mind, no doubt. Remember, this is twenty years after that letter was written. They might not be together anymore. Who knows how they feel about you now, two decades later, or if they're both still alive. I'm supposing, of course, that you don't know any of this.
You've got to take that into account, if you want to do it. And I'm not trying to dissuade you in any way, but I'm not trying to persuade you, either. You've got to decide. I'm just saying what should be considered.
A fantasy might be better than ever meeting them. Meeting them and having them disappoint you would probably be terrible. But, in all probability, they could be great people, with whom you could form a lasting relationship. That's the best outcome possible, and it's only possible if you seek them out and meet them.
You're not supposed to feel anything yet. That's reserved for when you actually meet them. Good luck.
