It’s a journey to me..
I did not tell my kids till they were pre teen..
My daughter asked me if I had any other secret.. and my son seemed to take it okay..
But I was getting prepared.. My life.. my reunion.. my emotional chaos..
If you can’t talk about it in your home how in the heck do you sort the emotions you are going to sort?
My son helped me..My daughter helped me..
My daughter would bring her friends home from school.. friends that were connected with adoption.. a girl that was relinquished and wanted to find her birthmom right away.. a boyfriend that has still not looked.. I had long conversations with these wonderful kids..
Heck I can remember sitting in the kitchen with a group of kids discussing this.. them asking questions etc..
My son helped me.. when I was crying and grieving on the bson birthday.. (we had not met up yet)
He said.. “Mom he’s okay.. he has a family.. a life”. “You are not okay.”
I believe the secret keeping helps no one..
