They get on really well. <br /><br />It is interesting about what you said about not thinking about the father. <br /><br />My son was told that I didn't know who his father was! He was told that so that he would be put off wanting to meet me. <br /><br />Did he get a shock when he found out that not only did I know who his father was but that we had been searching for him together and found him together. <br /><br />My son then decided he wanted to meet me first before he met his father. I think he still couldn't believe that we had been in touch for decades just so that our son would not have to do 2 searches<br />(His father lives in North America and I live in Europe). <br /><br />My son moved to Europe and stayed near me for a few years and then he moved back to North America near where his father lives. They see each other regularly - they even went skiing together at Christmas<br />(they both like going down the black runs - they reckon that their skiing abilities are matched pretty equally).<br /><br />One spooky thing - my son's father was actually on the ski patrol team for many years on the very mountains that our son skied down. <br />If our son had any trouble, it would have been his father that would be the one to rescue him.<br />My son's father was watching out for our son even though he didn't realise it at the time!<br /><br />Anyway, I wish you all the very best. Good luck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8953434957462559041.post-47456155972994042212009-08-06T05:45:37.476-07:002009-08-06T05:45:37.476-07:00Reading this made the little hairs on my neck stan...Reading this made the little hairs on my neck stand up (even the stray ones in FRONT. HAhaha!). Thank you for sharing.<br /><br />My niece was adopted through an open adoption. It is a strange and wondrous thing for her to know, even now at age 3.5, the woman whose belly she grew in. I'm sure the open-ness will have its own challenges (she has asked her birth mother repeatedly, who she sees once a year on her birthday, why she<br />didn't keep her. There is no recrimination, just curiosity.)clueless but hopeful mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11011524864788495788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8953434957462559041.post-14589412622526229382009-08-05T17:03:03.456-07:002009-08-05T17:03:03.456-07:00I think you are so brave.

I imagine that I would want to meet my relatives but at the same time would also be so filled with fears (that I wouldn't like them, that they wouldn't like me, that it would be weird and uncomfortable) that I may not have been able to step up and open my life to them. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing something so personal.

I *so* wonder about that other half of my blood. <br /><br />I also found out when I was 19 that he fathered another child before I was born. I have a half-sibling out there somewhere that I almost certainly will never know. I know nothing about him/her, no name, no mother's name, nothing. It absolutely kills me.Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06560923893875596928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8953434957462559041.post-89505607961208748002009-08-05T07:17:29.834-07:002009-08-05T07:17:29.834-07:00Thank you for sharing your story.

I wonder if the same is true of other adopted children. What that says about mothering is immense and maybe even a bit overwhelming as I try to mother my own child without totally screwing her up.<br /><br />Cannot wait to hear more of the story. For now, it just makes me love you a little bit more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8953434957462559041.post-72102963151280996422009-08-05T05:58:55.943-07:002009-08-05T05:58:55.943-07:00I'll be back to read the next installment.

Real life, not something written for entertainment, and it has feelings and emotions and is real to you that makes it real to me, to all of us.<br /><br />Peace.Spadomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17781369901345409341noreply@blogger.com
