Birth Mother

seven-day-weekend

Aunt has just phoned and said again what a lovely visit it was and that we must come again with our son

My adoptive parents would have understood. My (adoptive) mum told me that birth mother did not want to give me up for adoption. That is just what happened in 1950.

I have reassured her that there is nothing to forgive, that I totally understand and that she did what was right and has nothing to feel bad about.

Birth mother also said that she was glad that I had a happy childhood with people who loved me.

My wonderful adoptive parents are both dead now. RIP Mum and Dad, you did a good job xxxxx

Now to hopefully have this new relationship with another mother and an aunt.

Don;t answer this if it is too intrusive, but did you ask your BM if it was her that your mum saw crying that time?

Stumbled across this post this evening and have been enthralled as I read through all 18 pages. What a heart warming story it is and I will go to bed this evening with a little glow in my heart. 7DW i'm so happy your meeting went well today, what a journey you've been on over the last 7 months hope you continue to build a wonderful relationship with your BM and aunt. x

I couldnt say much in my last post - I felt too emotional! What a wonderful story SDW! such a happy ending, No, its a begining isnt it? now the ice has been broken, I hope many more visits come about - I am sure your BM will not want to lose touch again! and it seems the extended family members are all curious about you - you WILL get your head round the fact that you are all related! and think how much nicer celebrations will be with more relatives than you thought you had!

I feel so pleased and excited for you!

No I didn't, it wasn't right to do so today, but I may ask her another time .

They certainly did, you have handed this whole thing so sensitively and without rushing into anything. I am so happy it has turned out this way for you. How wonderful for you both, and for your own family that you have found each other.

Really nice to see some good news, and goodwill on MSE.
