I have posted this on the Search & Reunion boards, but thought maybe some of the other birthparents might be interested in reading the blog, also.
Short background:
I placed my firstborn son in 1985. Shortly after, the birthfather and I got back together and then we had another son. Years later, I married my now husband and we have 2 sons together. My X also got married and has 2 sons with his wife. So, my birthson has 5 brothers, and one of them he shares, what he calls, 'full blood'.
2 years ago, we made contact with my birthson on MySpace. He has had very minimal contact with me since he is not quite ready to 'go there', but he and his brother have maintained contact, slow at first and then more often until my birthson invited my son to visit him.
In my journal, I copied and pasted my son's blog that he wrote after his weekend with his brother. I hope it inspires people to keep hoping. I know my son feels like the 2 years was worth the wait.

I wish everyone that is searching finds as many blessings as we have found!

Thank you for sharing the story. It is wonderful when the siblings fit together well. D has no full siblings but it's been fun to watch him quickly become big brother to my other children. My daughter commented after our first f2f that she had expected it to be awkward but she had felt very comfortable. I hope their relationship continues to grow and that your son is soon ready to have a relationship with you as well.
Thank you all for reading and posting your well wishes!
Dpen, yes, my heart is overflowing! Many years ago, my son told me that he wanted to meet his brother more than he wanted anything in the world. From that moment, it became more important to me that he have a relationship with him. What I had hoped for in the future took a back seat and my new hope was that my son would get his wish.
This meeting was was more important to me than anything else so I am overjoyed! :cheer:
