OK fellow adoptees and birthmoms,
What is the best way to make the initial contact?
My birth mother had 5 children.. The first, a set of twins born in 1954 have both passed away. The following 3 were placed for adoption.
I am the youngest of the 5, the last born and the 3rd placed for adoption..
As it stands today I am the only survivng child she has.
Birth mother has 2 young adult grand children who live with her.
What is the best way or place to start?

Wow - you just picked up the phone?
Kind regards,
Dickons
Yes I picked the phone up and called her, lol...
I had thought about sending her flowers with a letter from me..
I decided to call her, I, We had waited 48 years for that moment, couldn't waste it anymore time.
I called and asked for her by her current name, asked if at one time she had had this name and she said "Yes."
I asked if she had worked at this one of a kind business and she said "Yes."
She asked who I was, I gave her my adopted name.
I told her I knew her from the hospital where I was born.
I asked her if she had given birth to a baby girl in that city on my birthdate that she had given up for adoption and she brightend up and Said "Yes I did."
She asked my name again and I told that I am Baby Girl used my given birth name and told her I was her baby girl....
All she could say to me was, "Honey I have loved since the day you were born, I have loved you everyday, I have missed you everyday, I have worried about you everyday and I have thought of you everyday."
Need I say anymore....
I have to thank the Florida Search ANgels.... Words cannot begin to express my thanls and gratitude for your selflessness, you unwavering searching, and your compassion for my mom and I.
I had goosebumps reading your story - so exciting. I hope you write a journal because emotions sometimes tend to overwhelm and you forget important bits. What a welcome!
Cheers,
Dickons
