After 36 years I met my birth son 4 Attachment(s) 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. |
1 Attachment(s) one more! |
I'm not sure which one is you, which one is your daughter and which one is your sons wife. Oh well. It's wonderful that there will be really great family gatherings and grandbabies to look forward to. :D |
Aww Patti, Your story just brought tears to my eyes. How absolutely wonderful to be reunited with your son after all these years. You made a selfless decision all those years ago that put the needs of your son first, and no one in the world could fault you for that :)--as that is true love. In 1988, one of my best friends gave up her baby girl for adoption, and I saw first-hand how much it pained her to do so. But she knew it was the best thing for her baby. What an exciting experience for you and your family. I wish you all the best as you and your son become reacquainted and find a special relationship once again after all these years. :) |
I think it's wonderful that you and your son have met, and I wish you all the best! Great story!!! You must be over the moon!:) |
Patti, I am so happy for you, that is such wonderful news!! You must be so thrilled to finally see your son after 36 years!! You guys look great together and I love the last picture where the dog tried getting in on the picture too, lol. |
How wonderful that you could all be together <3 |
I think the last picture is probably your husband, you, your son and his wife. going from left to right. the first picture I feel is your son and daughter as to me they favor. hope i got this right. I'm happy for you and glad your son wants a relationship with his true family. I've known people put in this position before and things turned out for the best for some, some not so great. God Bless your family and bless your sons adopted family for raising such a handsome guy. You're a lucky lady. |
What an amazing story and you must be so happy to find him after all of these years. To me, that would feel like you just won the lottery, especially if meeting him was a good experience. Alot of times the sons and daughters only find their parents after the parents has passed so it is amazing that you found each other and have many years to catch up and start over. You guys are so blessed to have each other again. |
Wonderful,wonderful,wonderful News. Oh Patti, what wonderful, wonderful news this is for your husband, you and your whole family. This is helping my day to end on a much happier note. Thank you so much for sharing this happy time in each of your lives. Hugs to you all, we look forward to your future posts in sharing with us all your happy times together. Jack and Patti |
