Wishing you luck and happiness...
Sandydog--Congratulations!!! I have been reunited with my birthparents for about 1 1/2 years now, and it has been more glorious than I can even put into words. When I first met both my birthmother and father, my a-parents were right there beside me to support me. Both reunions were so perfect that I sometimes find myself still expecting to wake and find that it has all been just a beautiful dream.
I truly believe that the only way to go into a reunion is with an open mind and heart. Like you said, you never know what to expect. You will have your family there with you to take some of the spotlight off you and I'm certain that their support will mean a lot to you. I would say that any non-adoptees who are trying to give you advice in this matter are wasting their breath. They have no idea what it is like to be adopted or to be faced with the possibility of a reunion after so many years. If they were in your shoes, I am certain that they would think a little differently.
Remember that you are certainly not alone in your journey. Not only do you have your family, but you have all of us here who know exactly what you are going through and who are standing behind you cheering you on. Keep us posted!
Best of luck on your journey! May you find all you're looking for and more!
