I'm sort of new here, only posted a few times, but thought I'd share my thoughts/experience. I guess as a child my birthday was a great day. I never experienced sadness about the day. However, as I got older, I would often wonder if my bmom was thinking about me on that day, did she wonder what I was doing, did she want to find me. Last year, I was pregnant, and my birthday was really tough. Every once and a while I would come to sites like this one and put in my information to see if anyone was looking for me, and no one ever was. Last year I cried.
This year, I cried again, but it was because my bmom was the first one to wish me a Happy Birthday. I found her a few days before my birthday! What a birthday gift?!
I still wonder if she thought about me every Jan. 18th? I haven't had the nerve to ask her if my birthday was a hard day for her, or if she tried to ignore it. Maybe I'll ask her sometime.
Interesting thread! I can relate to so many of your answers.
