Hi RaychieR,
I am a birthmom from 1967. My son and I found each other 3 years ago. NikkiLGA is correct when she told you birthmoms from that era were told to go home and forget we had a child. As for counceling, I was never offered counceling, I was told to just get on with my life. I have been married for 35 years. My husband didn't know about my son when we were married. I told him several years into our marriage. We haven't really talked about it much over the years, until my son came back into my life. My two other children both know now, but I only told them in the last few years.
Give your bmom some time. Before she can bring you back into her life she has to explain to the rest of her family. A birthmom never forgets. She has been thinking about you for the last 36 years. Good luck, I'm sure it will all work out.
Hugs,
Lynn
