I wonder how much more comfortable you all were meeting the first time because you had gotten to know each other via e-mail & that phone call. It seems to have really helped.

Thanks so much Michelle! If it wasn’t for you I would still be wondering why I was getting such lovely emails and no “real” comments on the site! (Somehow the spammers still find their way through!)

YAY from me also -I have tried and tried and tried to leave comments. This is darn exciting!

I am so happy and relieved that the meeting with Beth and John went well; it’s lovely to know that the baby will be safe and happy and loved.

I will drop by your blog again later today, to leave some of the comments that I wanted to leave before and couldn’t… until then, take care

YAY! I am thrilled that the comments are working too! =)

I was so nervous and for about five minutes it was completely awkward, like no one knew what they were supposed to do next, but then it seemed really silly to feel so uncomfortable. By the end of lunch, it just felt right that we should be in each other’s lives. I really feel very lucky to have such great “adoptive” parents for my son.

Yay! Now I can leave comments! I love it!
It’s so nice to hear that you were so nervous and afraid of rejection. Wow, that sounded really mean! I just mean it’s nice to hear that birthmothers get as nervous about meeting as adoptive parents. Maybe that’s why our birthmothers have chosen not to meet us? Thanks for the perspective.
