reluctant birthmom
I truly feel so sorry for what you are going through Brenda. I am so thankful to a dear friend who encouraged me (strongly) to search for my daughter. If my daughter had found me before I had made the decision to search, I may have paniced and responded the way your mother responded to you. I only pray she has someone she can confide in, to counsel her, to help give her the strength to be the woman she needs to be for you. Adoption in the 60's was inhumane, I won't go into details, people have heard it all before, but believe me, the brainwashing was very effective, in your case it has hung with your mother for 37 years, in mine for 35.
