I wouldn't spend a lot of time worrying about this, Mockingbird. Chances are your son was just busy celebrating his birthday with his friends. Your son just turned 38 y/o, right? That means he's two years older than my son, who just celebrated his 36th birthday in March. I tried calling my son on his birthday a few times, but it just went to the answering machine. Of course, I started fretting and wondering if he was avoiding me. (I always tend to read too much into things, a habit I'm trying to break.) Anyway, it turned out that he spent the day with friends, and they went out to celebrate that night.

I know a few of the adoptees here on the forums have expressed that they have trouble celebrating their birthdays. Hopefully, one of them will chime in here soon with their thoughts on the subject. Meanwhile, try not to worry about it. I know, easier said than done...
