Hey everyone. I am relatively new hear but am going through what alot of people on here are going through. I hired a CI (in Illinois) which is where I was adopted. I now live in Virginia, but have had no problems with paperwork going through or the CI retrieving information on my Bmom & her family. My Bmom has responded back to the CI saying she is overjoyed & at a lost for words. I also recently found out from the CI that she had 2 daughters after me, one that died as an infant & one that is still alive & knows I exsist. I'm just waiting for her to register with the Illinois Adoption Registry & then we go from there. She told the CI she wants direct contact, as I do as well. I am absolutely confused & scared as to what to say to her. I know she is my mother, but I haven't seen her since I was 2 months old. Just looking for a little input and guidance as to what to expect & how to handle all of this emotion! Thanks in advance,
Tim
