I am adopted, adopted at birth, and never knew of my biological parents. I am 20 years old now and livin' fine. I just went on facebook today and received a message from a woman with the last name as my last name (before it was changed by my parents now). And she asked "Hi, i am looking for a (my name) born April 2nd, 1989 (my birthday), is this you?". I didnt really know what to say, so i just typed, "yes :) But where was I born?" I often tell people that I am adopted and my real name is Chance O'connor (which is my birth name), so i am a bit skeptical right now.

I took a look at her friends list and it showed a bunch of other O'connors from the same city i currently live in (as well as Australia) and a few specific places in canada (mostly Alberta and Ontario). I wasnt born where i have lived all my life, and it isnt stated in my accounts page where i was born, just where i live. I also dont usually say where I was born, hence the reason i asked.

How exactly should react to this?

I'd say just wait and see what comes of it. O'Connor's not particularly unusual as surnames go. Keep communicating with her until both of you are sure of the facts. And remember she has a lot at stake too - if she's looking for her child then she's likely trying hard not to "get her hopes up too much"...
 
I'd agree and say hang in there and see what comes of it. I can't imagine she would have a reason to lie to you. But you never know in this crazy world. If you were a Christian, I'd say pray about it and ask the Lord to reveal the truth. I know you're not, so would you like me to pray for you?
