Right now, I am saying meeting her probably made the most sense and was possibly the most sane thing and that has happened to me in the longest time. It was like seeing a very old friend that you didn't really remember but had great warm feelings about. I wasn't nervous in the least bit. We never stumbled over what to say. My son looked so much like parts of her, it was amazing! My dh joined us after a bit and it was still incredible. DH and I decided that if she wanted to and our son was agreeable, we would let them meet, and they did and that was amazing. They just visited like old friends. Our dd didn't want to be left out so she came for a bit. It's funny, I think out of all of us, dd was the one most awed by the occasion! It was so cool to hear her refer to me as "her son's mother". What a gift this lady gave me!!!

Right now I'm in awe at what Texannie shared with us...I had missed her earlier post and just read the one a few above mine, then scrolled back and put it all together. Wow!! What an amazing thing to share with us Texannie....I'm so impressed with your description and it brought tears to my eyes as well. How sweet that you were able to see a likeness in your ds and his birthmom....I bet they saw it too. You sound so grounded and what you've given to your ds and his birthmom is priceless!! ((((Texannie))))

Well, right now, ya'll are making me cry! And I didn't do it once last night!!! LOL Thanks so much for your kind words. I forgot to mention, she came in with a dozen long stem roses for me for mother's day!!!! It's funny. I have never gotten flowers for mother's day and she gives me my first! Tabby, he is 14.

Oh wow, Reader..so you have been on the other side of the coin! Another thing I thought was cute. She had gone to the ladies room, and then I needed to also. When I came out of the stall, she was on her cell phone and got sort of a sheepish look. I teased her that she was busted. She said that all the sudden it dawned on her and she just had to call her mom. She said "mom, I am sitting here eating chips and queso with my son!!!" I got to talk to her mom too.

....Right now, where's that box of Kleenex? Texannie, you just keep providing so much more to the meeting experience. You really need to do a cut & paste of your posts and save them for your son for when he's a grown man....so he can know what you experienced that day as well. This is truly a touching story and it's the first time that I've been 'involved'....what an honor!

Right now, I am cracking up. I just opened the overnight mail from my mom and discovered she made out the dental checks correctly, but with the memo line of: For: Laurie Yates' Dental work. Hmm, I haven't been a Yates since 11-19-95, and Mom WAS at the wedding. Then we turned to a check she sent to me, and it too was made out to Yates. DH now wants to know if there is something he should know. I called to let her know about the checks and we were laughing as I left the message, as I had just left a message that we had received the envelope. It was the burst of laughter I needed since MSWord keeps eating my work.

Right now, I am laughing because I was writing a check to my sister the other day and she has been married for 12 years now and I wrote it out to our maiden name. She laughed at me and of course, I blame my perimenopausal brain!
