| What a heart warming story, may God bless you all. There is absolutely nothing wrong with adoption, for all concerned. It would be a hard decision to make, but in many cases, it is the right decision. I have a sister, that my mother gave up for adoption, we have always known the truth, and she has always been a part of our family. So happy it has worked out for you, and that you were finally reunited, a beautiful family.

| I was glad to read your story!! I was put up for adoption in 1972 when my birth mother was 17 also. I found my birth mother with the help of a P.I. about 10 years ago when I was in my early 20's. We instantly had a realationship and spent every weekend together. I then got pregnant with my daughter and when my daughter was a year old my birth mother decided she didnt want anything to do with me anymore.. I had a nervous breakdown because of it and it broke my heart in two. I had become a part of her family and she asked me not to see them anymore so I didnt. Last summer she contacted me and wanted me to come see her...when I called to make arrangements because we were going to be in her area she didnt answer my phone calls. I ran into her parents a few months ago in a grocery store and they told me she was living in my area now and where she worked. I took Phil my common law to her place of employment to meet her (she works in a second hand store) when she saw me she backed away and said "no one here knows about you" and was very uncomfortable so I left. She recently emailed me that she is telling people about me now... My parents are worried about me and getting in touch with her again. But I have learned from the past and wont let myself get close again like I did...plus im 10 years old and alot wiser. Sorry to highjack your thread lol...I am just happy to hear of a GOOD reunion story. I hope you have a strong bond with your son and the rest of your years with him are joyful and happy...adoption is NOTHING to be ashamed of..its a nobel thing to do..I am sure he had a wonderful life because you let a family who was unable to have children adopt this wonderful boy...NEVER feel embarrassed or ashamed of that fact. You and him are so lucky to have found each other....take it slow is my only recommendation... Dawn |

| Congratulations Patti! A new relationship is GREAT! It is not a bad thing at all..... and or those that don't understand.... I guess that is not your problem!! We met my husbands daughter (21 years old) about 4 years ago. It really is an emotional experience. with your new found relationship!

| Congratulations to you Patti!! How wonderful for all of you to be able to connect. I think the first photo is your son and daughter and the fourth photo is your children, you and your hubby. You are correct - your son does look just like you. What a wonderful way to spend the Memorial Holiday weekend, but by reliving memories and creating new ones (okay all, I know this isn't the reason we celebrate, but it fits).

| What a beautiful happy ending to a sad situation for you. It is amazing how much your daughter and son look alike. No one has the right to judge you. Your the one who carried the burden and pain all these years. I am so very happy this worked for all of you. We had a similar situation in my family as well and it had the same results. All good things ahead is my wish for you. Thanks for sharing. |
