I know that as of lately I have had many blessings. I am grateful. I have located my b family, they are accepting of me. We communicate regulary. I have gotten to meet my uncle, the visit went really well! However, the feeling that I will never see my b mom in person is eating at me. Her health is not the best. Decisions that she made in the past caught up with her. Affecting her daily. I long to meet her in person. The weekly phone conversations are a blessing, I would just like to see her at least once. My brother too if at all possible. Am I pushing for to much to soon? We have only been in reunion since the middle of March. Neither of us can afford the trip currently, somehow when I was searching that fact never crossed my mind! Does anyone have suggestions on how accept the current situation without feeling salty? I feel ungrateful for wanting more.

I don't have any suggestions, but you are NOT being ungrateful!!!

How far of a distance are we talking about?

You know.. you are entitled to feel ANYTHING that you are feeling....feelings aren't wrong or right.. they just are...feelings! That said... I'm hoping that you are able to find a way to go meet your bmom...but until that day comes... perhaps you could exchange videos of yourselves talking to each other?.. That way... you'd see her and she'd see you...??? just a thought...sal

That is a good suggestion, I like it! I am still waiting for pictures from her. i sent her a scrapbook monts ago. Hopefully it will happen soon. my brother told me to look in the mirror. I thought it was funny.

If she has someone around who's computer savy they could set up a web-cam for her and the two of you could have you weekly phone conversations via the web. I know that's not the same as actually being there but it's a little more interactive than a video.

It doesn't surprise me that your brother said look in the mirror...My BD is the spitting image of me and my other girls and I know that made her feel more like "one of us". I think she also enjoyed seeing people that she looked liked - something she been waiting to see all her life.

Best of luck to you and your family!

she doesn't have anyone with a computer. That is a nice suggestion though. how are you and your daughters doing?
