Hi Chris. I hope you had a Happy Mother's Day. My bm and I surely had one because of you and the wonderful work you do. On Fri. May 3, I met my bm for the first time. After many conversatioons about the emotions that would more than likely flow once we saw each other, she ruled out meeting at a public place and invited me to her home. We talked for hours, exchanged pictures, and made plans to see each other again on May 17. Still, she has not told anyone about this. However, she vows to tell her children soon.
My next step, of course, is to locate my bf. She answered questions that were asked about him. However, she did not volunteer any information. She was quite sarcastic by saying "you found me, finding him shouldn't be a problem. You do have his name, unlike mine." I plan to give it some time before I pursue him. My biological grandmothers(paternal and maternal) and my sister live in the same county. If my bf were to tell his mother, the can of worms would be wide open. However, if I see that bm isn't making much effort, I will have to make my move. Enough time has passed, we are all adults, now.
Again, I will welcome any advise you may have on how to handle that situation.
Thank you so much for everything you've done to make this reunion possible.

Dear Kinsolving,
Just wanted to let you both know that I went to New York and met my birthmom. It was wonderful. She is a great woman - a very "little" woman as she stands 4'10" tall. As you know, she had two more children, my brother and sister. They welcomed me with open arms. In fact, the whole family, including the spouses and children, welcomed me. This experience has changed my life. I am so happy I'm on "Cloud 9." I feel so blessed.
I have an inner peace I've never had before.
We have all decided to keep in touch and they will be coming down to Florida to visit me. My sister is in need of an "older" sister. I feel I can be a positive influence in her life. I hope so. My brother is 12 years younger. My mother and I found out that we have a lot in common.We look a lot alike and have similar personality traits and characteristics.
After a few days, we were very relaxed with each other and I felt a "bond" with her and she with me. It has been an amazing experience.
If anyone wants to write me regarding my experience or confirmation concerning your agency, feel free to give them my e-mail address. I will be more than happy to share my story with them as well as serve as an advocate for you. It is as I read over two years ago from someone on Sylvia's NY Adoption Page "it is worth every penny."
I can't thank you enough for finding my family. Never doubt what you do.:)
God Bless.

Dear Ms. Lee,
Thank you so much for checking your archives. I have passed your suggestions on to a birthmom.
Thank you, also, for telling me of your ability to search in NY, for my birthson. But, your reputation precedes you! I have known for several years of your success rate and your excellent reputation in the adoption community. I personally know many triad members whom you have reunited with birthfamily and continue to recommend your services, without reservation.
I hope to be among those people at some point- just need to get in a more economically comfortable position!
Many thanks for your consideration and all you do for the adoption community. |
