Great news on finding your birth father and relatives! I am attaching this article in case you might find it helpful in the future. RELATIONSHIP STAGES AFTER REUNION (Author Unknown) Not every individual goes through every stage; they may not be sequential, they may be repeated. The stages are common to the post-reunion period and are normal consequences of reunion. HONEYMOON STAGE: Characterized by euphoria, joy and sense of being on top of the world Effort made by parties to find similarity and common interests Much time spent together in an effort to catch up on each others life with exchanges of photos, letter and gifts. Preoccupation with other party Minor negotiations about relationship, ie. What to call birth parent Some uncertainty about place or role in otherҒs life, frequency of contact, how to introduce each other to friends and family members TIME OUT STAGE: One party may pull back to evaluate and process events. The honeymoon is over. Other party may feel confused when this happens. Birth parents may feel hurt, angry, frustrated and frightened if adoptee pulls back and adoptee may feel rejected by birth parent if he/she pulls back Problems in relationship may develop here due to lack of understanding of the process; society has few role models for this experience Parties may seek professional help to resolve situation SHOWDOWN STAGE: Confrontation of parties to address status of relationship and its future development If birth parent initiates confrontation, she/he may fear loss of child again different confronting adopted adult because biological tie is not enough to assure success. In parenting, the element of permanency exists and the bond is not so fragile If adopted adult confronts birth parents, she/he may fear being rejected by birth parents DISENGAGEMENT STAGE: Characterized by adopted adult or birth parents really moving away from the other, not just pulling back Can be extremely painful for either party with feelings of anger, loss and rejection Can occur if expectations are too rigid and differences between parties are too great SOLIDIFYING STAGE: Characterized by earnest negotiations between parties; roles, differences, issues continue to be worked on, but the relationship is more solid and settled with few ups and downs because agreement has been reached in many areas Re-negotiations occur as life changes and growth takes place and new relationship roles emerge Adoption Genealogist Other great websites to check out: [url]http://www.adoptionchat.com[/url] [url]http://www.adoptionlists.com[/url] [url]http://www.adoption.com[/url] [url]http://www.adopting.org[/url] [url]http://www.adoptionregistry.com[/url]

Hello, well I found him. We have met and are trying to build a relationship. I can be a little difficult since he seems to be a storyteller and doesn't want to address the questions I have asked. But I have discovered I now have 3 more sisters and 1 brother. 4 nieces and 2 nephews, also a few great nephews in there as well. It took me over 30 yrs to locate him so to all of you still searching don't give up it will happen when it is the right time. Good Luck to all of you.
