The child that I gave birth to in 1974, and gave to another, is on facebook. I know he is my bio son, just from gazing at his profile picture. He has the same eyes, nose, mouth and a bit of my smirk, in this picture.
Even though it was a closed adoption, I have known where he went since the beginning. In what was an unlikely coincidence, a friend of mine informed me, it was her brother and his wife, that he was placed with.
I never once thought of interfering. My life was such a mess, that never did I regret my decision either.
After contacting his Aunt the other day, I recieved a message this morning. He is willing to talk. The door has opened.
The advice needed from you wonderful people here, should I insist he send for his original birth certificate, so that he is secure in his knowledge, that I am his bio momma? Once again, I have zero doubt myself.
My heart is pounding as I wait for each and every email. I am super excited, nervous, scared. I have four children and a wonderful husband, and they all know about him. They do not know, that we may be close to meeting him. I prefer to keep this to myself before opening that door.

No Jill, not a bad day, I was honestly wishing you luck - reunion is hard for everyone and we can all use all the luck we can get. That's great that the adoption took place in a state that allows adoptees access to their original birth certificate - hopefully he is receptive to obtaining a copy - so you can all have peace of mind. I honestly DO wish you luck - as I said above, those of us involved in reunion can use as much of it as possible :)
