What a facinating life story. Amazing. So glad you saw your parents and had time to spend with them. I know it has changed you within. It has to be a good thing.

I believe it's such a personal and individual experience. Of course there are similarities but ultimately this was your reunion and your experience and it's your life changing. <br /><br />And how could you not be changed by this? I "only" went to meet the country and I'm not the same - which kinda scares me in terms of the depth of emotion if I were to meet people too.<br /><br />But do take you time. There is no formula for when you ought to be done with dealing with it all. And it hasn't been that long still...<br /><br />And I am here too if you need to talk or vent or just babble and get some of the confusing, tangled thoughts out of your head. You don't have to feel pressured into making sense.Mia_h_nnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1068702647356713810.post-32276005066503390572009-08-01T20:24:53.603-07:002009-08-01T20:24:53.603-07:00forgot to mention--I am so glad to have been a par...forgot to mention--I am so glad to have been a part of her journey. I know she would not have changed it for the world and honestly, neither would I. By knowing for most of her life, I am hoping relationships can be forged from childhood--allowing her to always know her beginnings, her family, her past, and allow for openness that will give her the permission to love all of us (I hope that came out right). I just want her to always know it is not a competition, we want her happiness and her feeling of being whole.Jeff and Madelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07330454830153579449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1068702647356713810.post-85388735156473882402009-08-01T20:21:05.081-07:002009-08-01T20:21:05.081-07:00Thank you so much for sharing this. Today of all ...Thank you so much for sharing this. Today of all days I see it, feel it and understand. My daughter has not been the same since meeting her family--understandably. <br />At first she was excited, thrilled, riding a cloud no one could see, but she is no longer in that place. She is in a state of confusion, trying to sort out the "truths", trying to make sense of so much that there is no way to understand at her young age. She has been showing her discontent/confusion through behavior for a couple of weeks, it was only tonight that she found the words (although we have tried and tried to give her the opportunity--she wasn't ready). The relief in hearing her words cannot be described (as a mother), but also the guilt, pain, sadness that I feel for having her meet them has been eating me alive. I know it was best on so many levels and I know she has so many answered questions, but also knowing that the knowing comes with many more questions that are not able to be answered at this time. <br />She is happy she met them. She is still thrilled at the discoveries, but it is the conflict of the knowing, the coming to a new understanding of her past that is causing her to have to emerge into her new world.<br />It is so hard to watch the person you love more than life have to come to terms with a new reality and understanding--even knowing there are great things, and not so great. I wish I could take away the confusion. I know I cannot and it is her journey, I am there to support/love/comfort, not to draw conclusions.<br />Thank you for sharing your story, it helps more than you know. I appreciate your openness, it helps me be a better mom to a child who is experiencing the same thing. I know it is not your duty or goal to help others, but it is so appreciated.Jeff and Madelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07330454830153579449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1068702647356713810.post-56075631294720207982009-07-31T11:32:07.731-07:002009-07-31T11:32:07.731-07:00Thank you, Sheri!

I compared the love i felt for my birth mother in addition to my adopted mother to the only thing i could really find similar: the love a mother has for multiple children. she loves them all equally in quantity, but differently.<br /><br />i understand - and you will slowly start returning to the 'real world.' but don't worry, it doesn't have to happen until you are ready to return! I hope you can allow yourself to bask in the blessing of your reunion, and also process the complexity of it all.<br /><br />i am so happy that you were able to meet, and hopefully find answers you have so needed to know. <br /><br />but, don't rush yourself, ok?! we ARE different after the reunion; the world will be different, our perspective will be different, and we ARE forever changed. "for better, or for worse." <br /><br />Call me if you need to talk, ok? I'm always here!! Sending hugs!!sherinalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08382751889192685628noreply@blogger.com
