I so enjoyed the story of your adoption. It seems that everyone who finds their birth family has a diverse story to tell. I have 2 of my own. My sister was adopted and I can't imagine her as not being my sister. I helped her find her b-mom and dad. He was deceased and her b-mom didn't want anything to do with her. Her half-sis talked to her and wanted more of a relationship but my sister got her medical info, her curiosity satisfied and never called her again.
The second story is my own reunion with a daughter I gave up in 1964. We have been friends for over 22 years now and I enjoy the friendship, even tho it is long-distance thru email and phone calls mostly. We don't get to see each other as often as I'd like, but I'm happy just to know her. She was raised by a wonderful family and has had a happy life, and that means a great deal to me.
There is a blog that someone wrote on rejection feelings by adopted children and the gal that wrote it has actual statistics and proven facts to back it up. I've put it up (with her permission) on my website at www.AdoptionRecords.com. It's a very enlightening post and I've seen some of those traits in my birth daughter.
Thank you very much for your blog. I don't often read all of them that I see blurbs on but yours was well worth the read.
