I recently located my birth mother by opening my records and finding her on face book, turns out she has 7other kids- 6 older and 1 younger that she raised. I was surprised that I felt less excited about meeting her then I thought I would, more excited about the fact that I have siblings- I was raised an only child.
The only reason for this that I can think of is because I had a great adoptive mother, so that mother relationship isnt lacking for me, but I have no adoptive siblings so that is lacking.
My question is, does this work the other way around? Maybe my birth mom isnҒt interested in communicating or meeting me because she has so many other children to fulfill that need for her??
I have two children that are much younger than the son I relinquished.
I think having other children made me want to find my son even more...
Maybe the fact that she has children older and younger than you made you start to wonder about other things about your adoption? (I know I would...).
Maybe you need to explore YOUR feelings more?
I don't know. Have you attempted contact yet?
I am sure that she has thought about you throughout the years.
