Success!
Well it all went well. We met at Paddington on Thursday evening and I dropped her off there this morning.
Was a little nervous on tube on the way there but weekend went v well. She met my adoptive parents and their spouses (they divorced in 1991) and all went v well. Think it helped that she's a v easy going individual and v easy to chat to. Will see how everything pans out - have a whole raft of relatives who haven't seen me since I was about 1-2 plus some who have only just found out about me (at least oficcially - half brother and sister).
Still when I embarked on the search it was more about finding out about the past and her present and the future was an unknown. It still is, but it's promising nonetheless. I'm sure you can talk about "honeymoon periods" and the various stages of reunion ( I think each stage has substages) - i.e. the first time you write, the first time you talk, the first time you see each other etc etc.
And my doubt of whether or not I wanted to send a mothers day card has been resolved (I shall). Next step is to visit her and the rest of the "family"
