A few weeks ago I had my search angel contact my birth mother for me and they had a nice conversation but at that time, my birthmother told my SA that she did not want a letter from me. I was heart broken.Then the tornados hit NC near where she lives and I was worried about her. I bit the bullet and called. When she answered I told her my name and I was calling to see if she was alright. She giggled and said yes, we're alright and then we just started talking.She giggled like a school girl during our conversation. It was nice to talk with her. At one point she said, I wished you had called me a whole lot sooner so we could have gotten to this point a whole lot quicker. I told her how my birth father's family found me on Adoption.com and they sent me a yearbook picture of her. Then I said, I hate to tell you but I look just like you. She really laughed and told me to send her pictures of me and the letter I had written.She also said she was very hesitant to talk with my Search Angel because she didn't want to give out any personal information to a stranger and she thought she might be being scammed. I told her how I thought if I heard her voice, I would just burst into tears--which I did. Then I apologized for being so emotional to which she replied, I understand--I'm like that.It was hard to end the call--I needed to go to work and she didn't want to stop talking. She even asked me, where do we go from here because I haven't told my other children about you. (They are now in their late 30's and early 40's) I told her I understood why she hadn't and to wait until the pictures came because when she sees me she may think--they should have slapped that baby and put her back in.She laughed so hard at this until she was almost in tears. I am sending the pictures today---I hope she has a chair next to her when she sees my senior high photo next to hers--they look like duplicates.This has been a wild ride and an emotional journey. My birth father past away 15 years ago and he wanted to start searching for me--his daughter picked up where he left off and she found me. Within a day, I had the name of my birth mother and where she lived. I was searching for 27 years and my sister for 10. I talk with my 1/2 sister once a week and we e-mail almost daily. The nicest thing she said to me was, I'm a private person and I don't usually tell people a whole lot, but I feel like I've known you forever and I can tell you anything. :-) Anything is possible in a search--I would agree with my SA--it's all about the timing. I needed to be ready just as much as everyone else.
