I sent my Bmom a letter on my 36th bday last week and received a response right away. I was incredibly excited to get her letter so quickly but very confused by what she had to say. She told me she was not real anxious to have a meeting as she has never told anyone about me including her husband of 33 years and her 3 children, 2 of whom are adopted. How has she not told her family about me when they have been touched by adoption in their own way? What message does that send to her 2 children about their birthparents decision?

She didn't tell me not to contact her again or that she wanted nothing to do with me - in fact the letter was quite warm - so I have a little bit of hope. She left a window open at least a crack.
