Ahhh...I haven't been blogging these past few weeks because I've hit a rough patch in my reunion. But I figured I may as well share it.
My biological mother is a rather selfish woman. Since finding her over three years ago- she has constantly informed me she does not want me talking to ANY of my siblings, cousins or Aunts and Uncles. She always tells me that I "belong to HER and NOBODY else." While I've tried to explain to her that I have the right to know all of my family, she doesn't seem to care.
To make a long story short- she is VERY displeased that I found my brother on facebook. She's been having her friends write me nasty emails and she called my cousin to curse him out last night- telling him to "pass the message to Rachel." Why THANKS, Mom!!!
Life has speed bumps and road blocks and I seem to have hit the first major one in my adoption reunion. I hope it smoothes out sooner rather than later!
Peace.

Wow, I'm really sorry to hear that. I really hope everything works out. I can't understand why she wouldn't want you to get in contact with him, but whatever the reason I hope she comes around.
Hope everything else is going OK!
I was going to say she's selfish but the word falls short...
Then again, she's bound to be carrying some major baggage concerning this particular son's living arrangements. I think all you can do is to reassure her that your love for her cannot diminish for any reason, and ride out the storm. I expect she'll come to her senses eventually.
Until then, (((( Hugs ))))
Just came upon your blog today...and had to take it all in! Great story...and as an adoptee myself, I understand the pain and challenges that go with adoption.
Added you to my list of fave blogs!
