my first post

I'm new so I thought I would share a little bit about myself. I'm 22. I was adopted as an infant in a closed adoption. I started looking for my mom when I was 12. I found her when I was 16 and we met for the first time on my 17th birthday. Her and I are very close. She was in my wedding, came for the birth of my first child, we try to visit once a year and we talk at least once a week. She is much more a mother to me than my Amom was ever able to be. She wasn't there for the first 17 years of my life and another woman was but to me she isn't my birthmother, she is just my mom.
