Hang in there Mary Ann, and Happy, Happy, Happy Birthday to you.
I am reunited with members of my b-family. My b-mom, Liz died as a result of injuries received in a car accident on November 5, 1977. (You can read my story at adoption.com, June 17, 2003 emag, story entitled "He Did THis for Us" by Nikki Lever).
I was never actively searching, but I will say that around my birthday, I always wondered about my b-mom, where was she, did she think of me on that day, or did she forget? I learned that she never forgot, and she had began searching for me. She was 16 when I was born, and didn't realize the impact relinquishing me would have on her life.
I must say it was wonderful to spend my 30th birthday (April 30, 2003) with both my a-family and my b-family and friends. After the celebration, my husband, son, and I went by the cemetery to pay respects to her, for had she not chosen to give birth to me, I wouldn't even been able to celebrate 30, you know. Yet, I must now admit that with my birthday approaching again, I feel a bit of sadness in my heart for Liz (I actually feel sadness many times, but I try to look at the good things and not dwell on what I cannot change). I can only wish she was here to share my special day with me, but I feel she is watching from Heaven. She's in my heart, and will always be.
Its sad what b-moms in the 60's and 70's had to go through. I know Liz never forgot me, no matter how hard people wanted her to forget. She was persistent. I can't say for sure, but I don't think your b-mom has forgotten you. You are in her heart, and I pray one day you will be reunited.
Love & prayers - NikkiLGA
