I contacted my brother's wife and she was sooo supportive and nice. I am so relieved that she believed me! We had a nice conversation over the telephone and hung up when my brother walked in the door. We hung up then and she told him all about me. (I know this because she called me the next day) He also believed the fact that his mother had had another child before he was born,and accoding to his wife, was enthusiastic about the idea. I am sooo Happy !!! Even so, I am a little disapointed that he did not call me back himself, but maybe he just needs some time.
He and his wife plan to talk to our mother after Christmas and tell her that I contacted them. Maybe she will be better able to accept me once they speak to her and let her know that they are excited about the contact. What do you think???

Hey Nicky,

Well done!!!! Doing the happy dance for you! It's great that you had a chance to talk to your brother's wife, and for her to tell him. Maybe having happened this way, with his wife telling him about you, it softened the shock for him as opposed to actually hearing it from you

I am sure he was enthusiastic because I don't think his wife would risk telling you that otherwise, WOW!!

I think if your brother and his wife are enthusiastic and excited about this, when they speak with your birthmom after Christmas it could help the situation tremendously, and hopefully count a lot towards how she will feel about it, as telling your brother could have been her biggest fear.

I wish you continued luck with this, now you just have to wait until after Christmas!! More waiting, but it may well be worth it!!! Wow, I am sure this has really brightened up your Christmas

Just wanted to add, the reasons why your brother hasn't called you yet are probably:

1) Shock - give him time

2) He most probably wants to discuss it with his Mother first.

CONGRATS!!!

Nicky,

Your patience and "listening" to advice paid off. As you have had a positive response back from your brother's wife try and enjoy Christmas now and take time to get used to having a positive response.

Have a good Christmas, you deserve a bit of happiness.

Nicky, I'm so happy the phone call went well. You said his wife said he was excited and thought his mom did have a child before him. He would tell her after Christmas. Oh my gosh, how is he going to beable to not tell her at Christmas? Hes going to want to tell her isn't he? What a present for her. Is she married, does her husband know? So many questions I have, I can just imagine what all is going through your mind. Don't forget to take care of yourself. Have a Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year. I hope everything works out the best.

Nicky...that's wonderful news.
I'm sure he is in shock, he'll need some time to process, so stay strong and try to remember that the reunion is the hard part.
