If you analyse the situation, if the mother never looked for Shougo, it means she didn't genuinely regret what she did. She had much better chances of finding Shougo than anyone from the Utsurogi family finding her, though that would also depend on the Japanese privacy laws, but I believe those are quite tight.

I have mixed feelings about his decision, but I think it's because of my situation, not remembering my mom because she died when I was still a toddler. I probably can't judge his choice correctly, because mine is one of never having the option.

I think for Shougo he's just grown really attached to the Utsurogi family. He loves everyone in it a lot. It's literally his real family to him, the home where he feels like he belongs. That's why he doesn't feel comfortable being pushed outside of it (he's even talked before about his biggest fear being losing them). This decision is essentially him coming to terms with the fact that the Utsurogi family is all he needs in his life, and that's perfectly valid.

There was never any right answer here, just the one Shougo was most comfortable with (this entire arc is essentially about him finally being decisive). Other adopted children might have wanted to meet the mother and that would have been just as valid.

I...feel a bit dissatisfied with this.
Unless I'm getting something wrong, wouldn't he want....to go just to see if she's doing well at least?
There may have been reasons for her leaving him behind (Scarring from the accident/not in a position to take care of him due to finances or feeling inadequate).
I think simply meeting her for her own piece of mind would be fine.
