I'm Linda Back McKay, moderator of "Reunions and Relationships: Relative Strangers?". I was reunited with my birthson in 1987 and we've built a good relationship over the years. My book, Shadow Mothers: Stories of Adoption and Reunionwas made into a stage play titled "Watermelon Hill" and was produced by professional theater. You can get an autographed copy at my site, [URL=http://www.visi.com/~lbmckay]http://www.visi.com/~lbmckay[/URL]and the book is also available here at [URL=http://www.adoptionshop.com/cgi-bin/store2/search.html]http://www.adoptionshop.com/cgi-bin/store2/search.html[/URL]. In connection with my book, I researched and examined a variety of experiences, emotions and outcomes having to do with reunion. Feel free to bring your questions and concerns here and I will help when I can. There are also many kind people who visit here who will offer ideas and support as well. And, from time to time, new topics will be posted to stimulate new discussion.
Best of luck and love in your reunion,
Linda

Linda-Hi my name is Jennifer Brown, I have a couple of ?'s. I am married to a man who has a daughter that was adopted out 18yrs ago. This is all new to me and did not completely understand all of the emotions that go along with all of this, plus we have 4 boys together that have a range of emotions also, there are such much more to all of this because my husband also at 30 found out his dad was not his bilogical dad, but it did not have to do with adoption or anything like that ...but he has put so much into this situation with his bdaughter and his childhood. I am just needing and wanting some help or some where to go to for help. I am going to a counsler but he is not. Any help would be greatlyfully appreciated. Is it normal for the bchild to only want to get to know the bparent and not his family? There are just so many peoples emotions involved here and my husband just gets mad whenever anything is brought up. Thanks for the help.
