I reunited (with my birth mom)

[gretchenD]

I reunited with my birth mom today and it went great.We just ran towards each other and tears came out.I found out her name is Sheila and she gave me up for adoption when I was 5 monthes old because she felt that she could not take care of me anymore.She was 15 years old when she gave birth to me.We did go out for lunch and I told her about me,I did recieve a surprise from her.I did tell her that I am a crossdresser and I go by Gretchen when I am dressed.My birth mom told me that she still loves me and wants to meet my en femme side,she is going to do this Wendsday night.I did ask about my bilogical father and she told me that he is dead.He died 5 years later after I was born of a drug overdose and he did not care about me at all.My bilogical father thought drugs were more important than me.He basically left her after my birth mom found out she was pregnant with me.I do have a 23 year old half sister Kelsey and my birth mom told me this.She does want to meet me too and I have spoken to her on the phone.My birth mom and I will be keeping in touch a lot more and I am very happy to reunite with my birth mom finally.I started in January and my dream finally came true,meet my birth mom.

Gretchen, this is a great story. To be able to meet with your mom after all these years and have her be so warm and accepting. You are fortunate. Good luck with the reestablishment of ties to your family

Gretchen, sit down, and realize how totally fortunate you are! I wanted so much to meet my b-mom...but she died months before we found her, and the most painful thing was...that she wanted to see me also. Her heart just gave out before we could find each other.
Congratulations, and hugs to all around, this is wonderful!

I did sit down and I feel lucky that I now have my birth mom in my life.My fully suportive girlfriend Nikki has told me congradulations and has seen a big change in me,I am very happy.My sister Kelsey is a very nice person and I am looking forward meeting her tommorrow.I do understand now why my birth mom gave me up for adoption.My birth mom has not forgotten me all these years all she had was baby pictures of me.If I ever get married to my girlfriend Nikki of 5 monthes someday,my birth mom and sister Kelsey are going to be invited to the wedding.My birth mom will not miss my 29th birthday next year and she has told me this

fantastic for you and them!!! its always great to meet family anywhere, anytime, it had to be hard for her to let you go. you are a loving person who examines yourself before letting go. to be en-femme and do the meeting at the same time is totally awesome!!this way you'll get to know them and they you as you really are ,.your one lucky girl

Gretchen, I'm very happy for you, your birth mom, and your half sister. Have fun Wednesday.

How has your adaptive mother taken this meeting? Was she supportive of your quest? I'm just wondering because of how so many take offense at both the search and the reunion. Many feel that they raised the child to adulthood and gave him or her the love and attention the birth mother did not and they sometimes feel they are being abanded for someone else.

Congradulations on your search and discovery. And on the greatness of the reunion.
