  • How awful for you. However I very much doubt it was down to something you did wrong - more than likely something inside of him that he couldn't deal with or face.

    Agree with that. It is difficult meeting family who are strangers. It's almost certainly nothing you have done wrong.

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton

    As a fellow adoptee, I understand how you might be feeling. Hope this works out well for all of you.
    Please forgive me if my comments seem abrupt or my questions have obvious answers, I have a mental health condition which affects my ability to see things as others might.
  • Just spoke to her on the phone. She is the right person. I anm going to write again and wee are going to meet. She said she had thought about me a lot.

    Overwhelmed and shaking.

    Wonderful news!

    Am sure that somewhere right now there is also an older lady glowing in the knowledge that you turned out ok, that you wanted to get in contact.

    Hope the next step goes well

    Thanks for updating us
  • I could not talk to her too well, she is deaf and I was overwhelmed, and her sister (my natural aunt!!) did most of the talking, but my birth mother was pleased I had got in touch. She said she had thought about me a lot and wants me to write aagin and arrange a visit.

    Will write again with some photographs.
