Ahh what a difficult question.

I guess that I had a fantasy (as many adoptees do) about what my bmom looked like, what she was like and when things seemed really awful when I was a teenager, that she was a princess who would find me and take me away.

The reality is that she was a human being with all of the assets and "faults" we all have. But part of my fantasy was true. I "knew" what she looked like even though I was adopted as a tiny infant and I "knew" what her personality was like. All I had to do was look in the mirror.

My "expectations" of meeting her were that I would find the pieces to my personal puzzle and that she would be a soul mate.
She went to Heaven before I met her. But the relationship I have with my bisiblings meets and much exceeds my expectations.
