Aw, I have been "there" and it HURTS. My birthmom refused contact years ago. I was devastated. It took me a very long time to deal with it. My aparents were very distant about the whole thing at the time.
Many years later, after I had reunited with my bsibs, I found out that my bmom would always run sobbing from the room when the name "Rachel" was spoken. She named her favorite doll that name too and kept it on her bed. She never let anyone play with it. And she never told anyone why she cried about "Rachel".
My birthname was Rachel. So even though she never told anyone about me - she always thought about me.
I hope that all of you know that even though rejection seems personal it isn't. It doesn't make it hurt any less - I know that. But I think it does help a bit.
And there is always hope too that someday things will change.
Wishing you all a wonderful 2009!
