Port,
I was 18 when I relinquished and 36 when I had my first child that I'm parenting. We have over 4000 miles between us, so it's not so weird I guess. I found my son when my girls were 4 and 2. They know they have a brother and they think it's fun to see him and draw him pictures and so on. I'm hoping they get closer as they get older, but we'll see.
It's been weird parenting kids myself on some levels. I guess it didn't really hit me until I found my son, realising that I would never have the relationship with him that I have with my girls is a tough pill to swallow. That's how it is for me, not so much about the firsts, but about the long term relationship.
