I never thought of myself as lucky...
I've read too many horror stories of birth family reunions to know that with my bad luck.. I was probably going to just be another statistic...
I, however, was not unlucky... I'm actually quite lucky. I'm going to go into how it has been going.. Let me just refresh your memories on how I "name" these people..
S - Birth Mother
J - Birth Father
A - Birth Sister
L - Birth Sister
M - Birth Sister
C - Birth Sister
S - Birth Sister
JB - Birth Brother
R - Birth Brother
T - Birth Brother
I will work on talking to them about using their first names... That way it will be a tad less confusing..
It has been a very long time since I've written here. I had actually forgotten that I had this blog... Well, enough of that. Let's get into the story...
I'm going to start where I left off. I contacted A.. We finally met at a place called GoJo's Steakhouse... She walked in, and I knew exactly who she was. We were all sitting there eating, and we ordered the same foods... Sometimes we even did the same special order... Like none of this but more of that.. It freaked me out! When we spoke to each other it was like I had known her all of my life... She understood me, and I understood her... She has the same sense of humor as me, and she likes a lot of the same things I like.. How crazy is that?
I know there is this whole nature vs. nurture debate, but I mean COME ON! Me and A were raised in very different households... We had never met before, and we have the same tastes in music, men, food, movies, and a few other things.. Clothes is not one of them.. She doesn't dress up that often, but when she does... She is STUNNING...
We were eating and having a great time.. We even took a picture together.. Well, more then one... I just sat there thinking, how could there be somebody out there who is soooo like me.... It is the most surreal feeling out there.
After dinner, we promised we would keep in contact, and we have ever since... She came to my wedding, and she danced with me.. I was there through her daughter's open heart surgery.. Her birthday is today... We didn't get to see each other, but we did talk on the phone for a bit...
I'm so happy that I found A.. She is like me in so many ways, and she understands me.. She wants this reunion just as much as I do... I hope that it continues like this until the day we die...
I've been told that there are a lot of ups and downs with reunions, but I've only had ups so far with A.. I hope it stays that way...
I'll be posting more often on some of the stories that have happened along this journey... Enjoy!
