Hi and thanks for this site. Here is alittle about me and my story. My son was taken from me when i was 16. I love my son and didnt want him to be adopted. I have reunited with my son and his family when he was 17 turning 18. i was told to keep an album in case of my death and that i would never see him again. Ialways left letters and toys so that he might get them when he was 18 and over but found out that he got them from a n early age. I was told to get get on with my life and that i would get over it. That never happen ed, it all got suppressed and never spokeabout it. I fell over with shock when i received identifying information about where he was all. I rang that night with the help of a vodka and spoke with his mum. They asked if i was a prostitiute or loose. and thats the way its been with his parents and family sincei met all 130 of them on my own with my other 3 children. They have tried reaching out to me but unsuccessfully with their horrid remarks to me. She didnt care how she got my son or how it impacted my life just as long as the kids were hers. My son is now on active duty in Afghanistan and due back in Oz in 2 weeks. Ive written him 2 letters and one email since his tour and he has responded well. Its been very hard for the both of us and has taken us 5 years to get this far and i have no contact with his family. I have been on an emotional rollercoaster for this long and have come thjrough this alot better for it. I see him as a friend and dont and cant take the placd of hs mum and just knowing that he is alive and well and that they are good parents to him is great and relieveing. What a great gift to see my boy as a man now. He has grown into his own.

neilsmum for your time
