Thanks, Brenda, for saying this in a way that maybe wont 'insult' others as to what I was trying to say about my feelings......
On with the thread

I have my OBC!! pfffffffft!
I missed her, I missed my siblings, I missed the connection, the identity, the ethnic background, the medical history..... I lost something very important in my life for 40 plus years. I am thankful to finally have all that back
