My birthson calls me Kathy. We share a fairly strong relationship at this point, 2 1/2 years into our relationship. His mother is the woman who raised him. (Period) I, personally, am enjoying the separate, unique relationship we do have. It has been incredible for me to recognize how strong the genetic component has proved to be in D's personality. I really wasn't prepared for that!
That said, Nicole, I hear that, for you, the people who provided the genetic material that created you are two dimensional and doen't really exist as people for you. I would comment that physiologically, your egg and uterus provider did nurture you for 9 months so that you were born alive and healthy (an assumption on my part). I've been pregnant 3 times, and trust me, it affected much more than my uterus. How sure are you that the information you have about the gestational parents is accurate? Many adoptees will tell you that the information they were given they found to be inaccurate.
I wish you well in your life's journey.
