Anyone w/teen in newly opened relationship?

My daughter is not a teen but she is in reunion and it caused many heartaches for all of us in the triad. If you would like to talk I would be happy to share our experiences with you.

We recently located my son's birthfather and have not yet contacted him. While I anticipate great joy, I am aware that things do not always turn out as we envision. As a mother to 3 teens, I would love to hear from you. Magg

I found my firstmom when I was 15. I looked her up in the phonebook and gave her a call. My parent's didn't know I had done it until they came home. If they were upset about it, they kept that from me. I met my firstmom and brother a few days after that. It's been 11 years now and I only wish that I had been able to have contact with her and my brother at a younger age. After we met my brother was always invited to go on vacation with us if he wanted. I would frequently spend the night at my firstmom's house and my brother would often spend the night at my house. They became like extended family. Any type of family function they were invited and vice versa. There was never any "weirdness" between them and my aparents and I am so thankful for that.

Kitty: That is so wonderful that you gave such a wonderful relationship! How lucky and that makes me so happy that both adoptions will be open:) God Bless,Summer

Hi macnmy I sent a private message, but I am not sure it was properly fowarded to you. P;lease let me know Magg

My daughter Dayna is a teenager now, and the adoption has been open for almost 4years now. She and I write practially every month, I sent her gifts for birthday and holidays. I have gotten to see her 2 times since the adoption became open which was very good for both of us. I gave her up when she was 8years old. I think it does wonders for us both to be able to have contact with each other.
