I don't mean to sound snarky, but I wonder if people would feel the same joy if they found their lost children after a long time, or if the joy would be muddled quickly due to complicated relationships :'( . We are a very peculiar species.

I'm not entirely sure we're of the same species.
You don't have kids do you?

Let me put it this way: Your life is forever ruined if you "lose" a child. I would never stop looking.

Arguably it is MUCH worse to not know what happened (no closure).
