Hi everyone,
kathy - sorry, I hope you're feeling better - wait until the purple turns yellow - I had the same thing and felt ancient when the colour changed! Nothing makes me feel older than the aches and pains. TG - hang in there IBF - it is meant to be - a sign, I don't think so, I think it is divine intervention and something good is going to come of all of this. To everyone else, have a great weekend. I'm feeling blue and have realized that I am doing all the "work" so to speak and just realized that is because bson is only being polite but really doesn't want anything to do with me! Unfortunately, I've turned the family upside down over our reunion so now I have to deal with it which is not fun. Of course, it makes it easier.

I also wanted to share a pic of my daughter with you all! She had 50's dress up day at school on Friday, she told me about it on Thursday night, I quickly made a poodle skirt.
Isn't she too cute!

TG- although it's been 35 years, I remember that first birthday well. (Of course it was my 22nd) My DH and had moved to a town 75 miles from home; I was only substitute teaching and very lonely. (I shed many tears but I survived and you will too!) I didn't have anyone how knew how I felt... you have us and we;ve been there. Consider me part of that group hug too!

Your reunion is still new. If I remember rightly you had about 5 face to face meetings in the first 6 months (right?) Just as bmothers get overwhelmed with their feelings, it's also true with our relinquished children. They need to go back to that "hurt child" and really work through what adoption meant to them before they can fully participate in a new relationship with you. How long is it since you have received any contact from him - initiated by him? If he responds to your e-mail or phone call, is it good communication or do you feel "blanks" that need to be filled and nothing to fill them with. And....if in the past he has only responded to your phone / e-mail / letters.....do you think he may have thought that you wanted to set the pace so he was OK with that...and would only respond rather than initiate? (Just a thought) I can honestly say I've been there where you are....and I'm sure others have too. Even 4 years of knowing my bson doesn't give me enough tools to keep the conversation going about "us". I need to work on other things that we have haphazardly found a common interest in. Sport, politics, and 1/2 brother and sister's doings. And.....sometimes it's just hard!!!! But we keep on going and every little bit stacks up to make the "whole story" a little bit more accessible. There's no doors to close - you can't divorce your bson - you can convince yourself you have more than you ever hoped for - you can take a back seat and wait for your emotions to settle or wait for him to call - and you can tell yourself that he wanted to know you, needed to know you and will continue to think of you for the rest of his life as the person who brought him into this world and the one person he knows who passed on the same characteristics, mannerisms and traits. You two are irrevocably bound and that can't be discounted. Big breathes.......be kinder to yourself......believe what you know is fact, and let supposition and guessing fly out the window. You don't need it and it only brings fears to the surface. Ann

aha... there they are! When I first read your post, Michelle, the thumbnails were't there. Interesting modern interpretation of a 50 yr old style!

Love the pic Momchelle!!! Last May we had a girl scout sock hop. I figured most of the girls were wearing poodle skirts. MIL told my little one they use to wear rolled up jeans to their sock hops. So here is my last minute dash to get her ready...

hey there all.
Keds, I'm wondering how you came to this realization. Is this something your son told you? Or are you assuming based on his actions? or something else? TG- Hug again. Michelle- you "quickly made a poodle skirt" ? You have poodle appliques lying around? ;-) brown- now I'm curious and will have to check out your pics. IBF- can I have a golden ticket too? quantum- hola!!

TG: with you as well.
 I am now babysitting on Friday. Works for me since it is R and he and I get along famously. Also this way my friend Cheryl doesn't have to drive up to her sisters, Weds., Thurs., and Fri. I will just sleep on her couch and veg for the day. Les Mis was wonderful!!! great to see it in the round even with a rude older man next to me but then Grams told me to do what I needed to do. Nothing bad, I promise.  I need to get a Thanksgiving card out to Supergirl and parents and ask for a visit. I need to find my pic. We had a 50's day in elementary and I was in jeans. No way you were getting a skirt on me!!! Still have to fight for me to wear one!! Hope all is going well for everyone else.
