I'm not adopted, but he is. I am moved by your story and am especially interested in your comment "I've always had to wonder who I look like?" THAT is exactly what Marty, my husband, said to me! Not everyone's story is the same but it is no less moving and inspirational. I will pray for you and your reunion. Dear Mike,
I found you through my husbands blog. I’m not adopted, but he is. I am moved by your story and am especially interested in your comment "I’ve always had to wonder who I look like?" THAT is exactly what Marty, my husband, said to me! Not everyone’s story is the same but it is no less moving and inspirational. I will pray for you and your reunion.

My first contact with my birthmom was in March on the phone and we talked for a month and a half before we finally just decided to meet. We were both so nervous, but anxious and excited, as well. My experience has been so positive and so surreal at the same time. We have gotten together twice with our families (including an incredible opportunity to meet my half-sister), and have been in contact every week since. Meaghan's comment couldn't have said it better... you are in for a ride!<br /> <br /> Keep the posts coming and best of luck! Mike, I am SO happy for you!

Freaky…. When it first happened for me… I met all these people who laughed the way I laughed… held their heads the same way… walked the same way….

All of a sudden.. things that had made me "different" for my entire life… sucdenly started to make sense.

I wasn’t an alien anymore!

Hang On Mike! You’re in for the ride of your life.

Take care… take it slow…
Give yourself time to know them…
Remember all that lovely stuff about boundaries….

It’s very easy to get very wound up…

Make sure… after you meet… or even after you talk… that you have lots of space and time… and room to decompress…

I realized after the whirlwind of meeting my family… it didn’t really hit me for 3 days…

The emotions….

I felt numb at the time… and I kept wondering when I was going to feel something….

The feeling came after I had time to be quiet… and be by myself … away from stimulation and more information….

Hard to describe…

I’m really pleased for you Mike.

I think you are really going to get a lot out of this.

You will have to post some pics when you get them, I am curious about your brothers as I wonder if batshit crazy is a genetic marker or not :)<br /> I always imagined your birth family to be somewhat like the one in the House Of A Thousand Corpses myself. But seriously I am glad you will finally fill in the missing peices, as you have an absolutely wonderful family this is just some icing on the cake, Love Ya Buddy. Wow thats awesome Mikey.

A friend of mine found his birth mother after 55+ years or so, only to discover she lives in the same town he grew up in New Brunswick. They have a wonderful relationship now. Woo Hoo.
