Mary and those listening-
I have been pretty stressed with school and my upcoming jaw surgery that I have not been checking my posts and reading posts on here!
However, I have some great news in the development of my life! I was contacted by my birthfathers parents. They did not know about me until August and a few weeks ago his mother sent me a card. This was a huge relief off my shoulders. They accept me (believe it or not I was afraid they might now...)! They also cannot wait to meet me. I do not know why I thought they would not want to get to know me, but I guess thats just a normal feeling. I am in the progress of getting some pictures together and some letters I have written about my life for my bmom and my bfathers wife.
It does seem though that these good things happen when I am in the most stressful life situations. Last year when I learned my bmom wanted to meet me was during the last few weeks of the fall semester and my semester finals were approaching. I learned about my birthfathers wife wanting to have contact with me during the end of my spring semester and met with them towards to end of my summer with my birthmom. Now when my life seems to be taking the biggest turn (surgery and completing college) I have the chance to make contact with my birthfathers family (parents, siblings and their spouses and childern).
I am doing well, other than the huge amount of stress I deal with everyday. But one of my profs told me that its ok to stress about things-and its ok if things dont get done. Life always goes on.
Thank you for listening and caring!!
