This past fall, my DD's mom broke the news that she thought it was time to take our semi-open adoption and turn it into reunion! She was looking to introduce the two of us this coming summer. Over the past months, she's mentioned it a few times during our chats, but it seemed soooo far away. And now it's here! Her mom and I have talked a lot more often than we once did. We acknowleged eachother on Mothers Day (a BIG first!) and have chatted on the computer relatively often. She keeps her Facebook profile current with pics of all of DD's events (prom, graduation, etc) so I've felt almost like I was able to share the moments right along with everyone else in their lives. A few years ago I never would have thought that we'd be in contact as often and grow as open as we have now. It's great! DD has turned 18 and graduated HS. I have not contacted her directly yet, partially because I always wanted to wait until she was out of school, but also because her mom has said that once she was done, she was going to have a sit down with DD about me. I know that her mom has mentioned to her before that she would take her to meet me this summer, and she seemed open to it. She has also shown her pics of me and my family via my Facebook page, and her mom mentioned to me that she didn't think DD would mind being "friends" on FB. DD has also seen the comments that I leave for her mom on there so there has been some indirect introduction of me to DD, and it seems to be OK. It's like I'm almost there..... but I'm so far away!!! Her mom has been very flaky in the past with follow up, even now with the communication being better, she still flakes on things like phone calls, and it will take her FOREVER to mail stuff. I know it's not a personal thing, that's just how she is with everyone. And I know that her heart is in the right place, but....:grr: I'm climbing walls!!! Who's waiting with me?
