Successful Reunions

Just want to reach out to the adoptees who are looking for their birth family or are hesitant about a reunion.I'm 20 and just reunited with my biological mother last weekend. That day, and the days after have been the best in my life! I never knew there was someone out there who cared about me that much. I feel extremely lucky that I have not one, but two mothers who have my best interest at heart. The reunion itself was what you would expect. A little awkward, very emotional, more so for her than me. And very, very surreal seeing so much resemblance. It was for lack of a better word a strange thing looking into eyes that are essentially my own. In the days after, she has pretty much called me, emailed me, or texted me every day. She has been very interested in finding out what I'm up to, and I the same with her. I definitely feel we have a strong mother-son bond, even though we don't know each other well. She has been very open to talking about my biological father. They were high school sweet hearts when I was born, but he was going through lots of stress in those days and their relationship became rocky. Still, she asked if I wanted to meet him, and she actually took the time to track him down and call him when I said yes. And as it turns out, he is thrilled about this, and is willing to meet me. On New Years my biological mother and I are going to meet him. I am astounded and completely gratified at everything she has done for me, I couldn't have had a more selfless biological mother.A successful reunion came down to this. It came down to having supportful parents, it came down to me as the adoptee being open to the new experience, and it came down to my biological mother sincerely caring about me and having my best interests from the get go. And it was important for me to have my biological mother's best interests at hand as well, e.g., respect each other. I treat her with the same compassion that I treat my mom with, and she treats me with the same interest that my regular mom treats me.Love is infinite - there is plenty of it to go around. I believe that as long as everyone involved realizes that, the new relationships will be very strong. Meeting my biological mom has not caused me to love my family any less, in fact, I am closer to them than I ever have been. I hope this story will encourage people to reach out to their biological families. It really is an amazing experience. I am also thankful to the people in this forum who helped answer some of my questions before I went through with this.
