Callie, I just browsed this board on a whim, but your post caught my attention.
First of all, when you turn 18, you can register with the International Soundex Registry. If your birthmom is trying to locate you, she will be able to contact you through the registry. Since birthmom's sometimes have problems reunions can go really well, or not so well, so you should research this and prepare yourself. Most go well, but the few that don't can be rather traumatic if you aren't prepared.
As for your restrictions on dating, I can remember that sort of frustration. As for the prom, perhaps your parents could offer to chaparone and allow you to attend. Not sure how the guy would feel about that, but if you are in a group setting and chaparoned, they may have less objections.
Also, the rules are for your own protection. I know when I was 15 I probably wouldn't have agreed, but they really are. The best reason for dating is to find a future mate. If you aren't ready for that, it mostly gets you into trouble. Hang in there... you will be out on your own soon enough. Enjoy being a teen while you can. I know it's hard being between a child and a grown-up, but it will happen, I promise you. :)
