Thank you so much for your perspective. That is exactely what I was searching for. I think my parents are going through those same feelings that you voiced.
From the time that I posted this, the initial shock has worn off. I have been in e-mail contact with my bmom. I don't call her "mom" or any other special name, but I call her by her first name, as I feel like that is appropriate, and that is how she signs her e-mails.
At a minimum, she would like occasional contact and know the highlights of my life. Beyond, that, we will see how things go....a good friendship may or may not develop....only time will tell.
As far as my parents, they are still being quite reserved about it all. I am trying hard to keep everyone informed, and being open and honest each step along the way.
I e-mailed my bmom a picture, and she e-mailed me a picture as well. Although we don't resemble each other a whole lot, we are both quite tall and slender...so now I know why I am skinny and cannot gain weight.....a good problem to have.
I don't know how things will go from here, but it appears as though some sort of friendship may develop out of this. Thank you all for being of such help.
