God bless you Belinda. I know you now have peace in your heart, and when you said "its like Heaven", you're so right. I am so happy for you and for Claire. Its like a mystery is finally solved. She has a face and name to go with the word "birth mom." You are no longer a mystery to her.
I am with Joyce. I say take it slow.
I am a reunited adoptee, who was reunited with members of my birth mom, Liz's family, in August, 2002. Liz passed away in 1977 from injuries received in an automobile collission. If you would like, you can read my story at adoption.com, e-magazine, June 17, 2003 issue, entitled "He Did This For Us." Anyways, I would just like to say so many feelings and emotions come and go during reunion. I remember when everything happed, it was almost like I was in some state of shock, like I was there, but I wasn't there. I hope that makes sense. One minute I was happy, the next I was crying, the next I was "what if" and "if only".
My best advice is to pray. Pray that God will give you wisdom during this time. Pray that He would give you the words to speak to your daughter, as well as to her adoptive family.
With love & prayers - NikkiLGA
