Need Help Understanding
Hello. I am sure you were confused by her response, but what you must understand is that many birth mom's were not allowed to speak of their babies. You are 36, I am 30. I was born in 73. My birth mom was sent across town to a relatives home to hide out until I was born. Many counselors would tell birth mom's of that time that they were making the best choice and they needed to move on. It was almost like we never happened. Though in their hearts, we did. I know there wasn't a day which while my b-mom was still living that she didn't think about me. Even though your b-mom has kept your birth a secret, that doesn't mean she doesn't love you or hasn't thought about you. She was probably forced to keep your birth quiet. In time, I am sure she will explain your existence to her husband and children. Her reply wasn't negative. So hang in there.
