    I have just read aloud to my husband your post about your meeting your birth mother today. We are both moved to tears.

    Our very best wishes for your futures.

    Came on to see if you had updated! I am so glad it went so went, was quite choked up when I read how it went. What a lovely thing for your husband to do too!

    All I can think is thank goodness you followed your instincts in the beginning and contacted her. She sounds like she always regretted what she did and there is no greater gift anyone can give a mother than to know that their child had a happy childhood and has grown into a rounded caring adult. Fab story :)

    Can't add anything to the comments already made.

    But I am soggy eyed now, having read your updates. So so so pleased that it went so well for everyone. Your birth mother must have gone to bed a happy woman tonight. For her to know that you had a good life, with loving parents, after she had made what must have been a heartbreaking decision, will have given her an enormous sense of relief.

    I look forward to hearing more of your future meetings with your new-found family.

    I've just "de-lurked" for a few minutes too, so happy for you and your new found family sdw, and bless your hubby for being so thoughtful and getting you the red roses, i just want to hug you all.

    I'm sure your (adoptive) Mum and Dad are smiling down on you and would be proud and pleased for you too.

    Heres to you and your new family, how lovely they sound.
