Hi, I'm Sweetthing. I am a 33 year old ** of Zach, who will be 18 in September. I have had no contact with his family since he was 7 years old. I am very much looking forward to his 18th birthday, and praying that he will contact me.
I am also a Crisis pregnancy and adoption counselor. I know that for me it would have been really helpful to work with someone who had been in my position when I was pregnant with my son, so I felt this was my calling. I love my job more than anything! I knew that I would love working with all of the expectant parents, new parents, and birthparents, but I had no idea how much I would love working with the adoptive families. They have given me such a sense of peace about my son's family, whom I never got the chance to meet. I know if they are half as fabulous as the AF I work with every day, he is incredibly loved and cherished-which is exactly what I wanted for him.
I have enjoyed reading posts here, so I finally joined. It is nice to meet you all! I look forward to getting to know everyone better.
Much love,
Sweetthing

Reunited?! Wow, that is what I am praying for! How lucky for your birthparents, and for you! I can't wait for that moment... it's what I have been waiting for since the last time I saw him at 1 day old. I'm not sure why the family quit sending pictures and letters. I had a really hard time with it for a long time, wondering what I did to make them stop contact, but have since realized that it couldn't have been anything that I did- I never even met them. I often wonder if they just thought that it would be easier for me to "go on with my life", as many people think, if I didn't get those constant reminders. Nothing could be further from the truth. I miss those pictures and updates more than anything in the world. I don't know that he will contact me, but I have lots of people supporting me and hoping that it happens.
Was your adoption closed? When did you establish contact? Who contacted who? Tell me more....
