What a lovely post. I cn imagine how excited you are at the moment. That first sound of voice is magic.....and so it should be.
You've waited a long time to hear it.
Your Mom's story is the same as many many women who post here. As young single Mom's they all needed their parents for support, but not all have the courage to make their own decisions. Your's obviously did....and here you both are talking to each other!!!
I hope your reunion continues to be a joyous one.
I've been in contact with my son for over 4 years now, and it's been a very defining time in my life - I always hoped we would know each other, and the knowing is better than anything I ever imagined. We are seperated by thousands of miles, but keep in touch by phone and e-mails. The best advice I can give you is to take it slowly - don't try to rush anything. You have the rest of your life to make this a really good connection, and if you take small steps, deep breathe, and establish good communication lines before you physically meet, your reunion has it's best chance of being an enduring one.
Read as much as you can on other's reunions. Learn from their mistakes and pick up pointers that appeal to you in your circumstances.
You can never be loved by too many people, and this sounds like the start of a very satisfying connection.
Keep posting - there are many here who will help you along the way.
Regards
Ann
