Hi! My name is Mikki and I am the birthmom of a wonderful 23 yr old daughter. She has always lived in the same town as me, but I didn't know that until she was 5. I was introduced to her when she was 12 and the teen years were rocky for us. She now has 2 little boys with a 3rd baby on the way and she is married to a wonderful man, who treats her like a princess! I also have a 15 yr old and 8 yr old daughter with my husband. They love and idolize their big sis!
There is lots more to "our story", but I won't bore you with that now. This adoption plan was made when open adoptions were not yet the norm around here yet - in 1986.
I found this site and thought I might find some friends and maybe some support here.
Can't wait to hear from you! :flower:

I'm in reunion with my son who I placed for adoption in 1985, he's 24 years old and we've been in contact for the last year. It's wonderful but also very painful and consuming. Trying not to live in fear that I'll lose him again. Wonder if anyone has any positive reunion stories to tell. I hear so many negative ones. Is it possible to have a happy ending to all the years of pain, regret and worry?
I placed my son for adoption in 1987 and we have been in reunion for about 2 years. It has been absolutely wonderful getting to know him and his family. My other son who's 16 idolizes his big brother and even chose the same football number as him. It is good know that he had a good life, but still painful to see everything I missed. I don't know that the pain will ever completely go away, but it is offset by the joy of knowing him now.

I MET MY DAUGHTER LAST NIGHT! I did the right thing by giving her a loving and stable family to grow up in. She has an older bi-racial sister (adopted) and has had lots of opportunity to travel, she's outgoing, calls my mother Grandma, she's got my hair, eyes, feet, teeth :)
It was amazing to finally meet her and hold her again. The worst part was agonizing over the whole thing. Remember, we chose adoption for the child. The reunion is for the child, too. I hope that this will be a "happily ever after." I'll keep you posted!
