It's been an amazing few days. I haven't been but I sadly had to give up a baby in 1971 when I got pregnant at 17. Due to times and circumstances I made the hardest decision of my life and gave him up for adoption. As fate would have it the baby's father and I got back together and we had our daughter 14 years later. 5 years ago I contacted the adoption agency to provide contact info and pictures. They forwarded it to the adoptive parents but mybirth son never responded. Wednesday I got a call from the adoption agency telling me they had a letter and pitures of my birth son and contact information, I received it yesterday and it was a very heartfelt letter and pictures from ages 1 year to 2005 when he got married. I got the nerve up to call him last night and talked for 1/2 hour and felt very comfortable. He asked if we could get together today!! So my husband and dtr who are birth father and full blood sister to Chris, and his wife met tonight and it was so amazing. He looks a lot like me and almost identical to my youngest brother. He want's to have an ongoing relationship which is fine by us!!! I debated whether to post this as some may not understand giving a child up but then decided friends and family accept you for who you are regardless.
Attached are pics of him and me and myhusband, dtr and his wife.
