My beautiful son was born 16 years ago in August, and I chose a semi-open adoption. I chose his parents, and they went through pregnancy, labor and delivery with me. I have had the fortune of seeing pictures periodically, and writing back and forth through the agency. We are meeting on October 1st, and I am so nervous. I am sure that anyone who may have gone through this knows all 10 million emotions that follow it. Does nayone have any advice for the meeting? They are all for affection, but what if I step out of bounds? Am I good enough, smart enough....just enough in general? Will he hate me? If someone could please help me through this with some sound advice, I would be eternally grateful!! Thanks to all, Danielle

Danielle,
Good luck and try not to stress too much. I've been in reunion with my son for over a year now. Ours was a different situation as his adoption was closed and he had been searching for 5 years but I found him .... he had just turned 23. Initially we had contact through emails, msn messenger and phone calls then met 6 or 7 weeks after initial contact. I remember being quite fearful although we had established a relationship by this point but I never regretted meeting him as it was very special. We met up a couple of times again after that but he is in Canada now studying and I'm in the UK but we still have regular contact.
Just be yourself and I'm sure everything will be fine.
Pip :)
