Update on meeting my Birth Mother

We met last Sunday. They are wonderful people. I felt like I have known them all my life. What is really weird I do not know what to call her. MoM or her real name. I think I am in shock still. We will be meeting up for Easter, that will be nice. I am just very happy that I know where I came from. It is a nice feeling and that the emptiness has gone away.

llaries...

OOOOOHHHHH... congratulations! As and adoptee and a FirstMom in reunion with my daughter for almost 2 years now... I totally get what you mean.

As for the name to call her... all I can do is tell you my experience. When I met my daughter she called me by my first name for about 2 months and that was not comfortable for her and she called me and asked me if I minded if she called me Mom. I absolutely loved it... she explained that she has room in her heart for two Mom's... an in reality, that is exactly what she has... two Mom's and having both of us in her life is what lifts her up. I don't take her Mom's place... I hold my own.

I am so very happy for you and wish you the best in your reunion. Take it slow... and enjoy!!!

Congratulations on finding your mom. I know exaclty how you feel.

I reunited with my bmom 2 1/2 years ago. I called her by her first name for about the first 3 months. Now, I call her mom. It just feels more comfortable.
