Wow, Tina! Your sweet , loving words brought me to tears, girl! I had no idea I had made THAT much of an impression. Thank you sooo much for inviting me here and to be a part of your precious Makenzie's life! I'm honored. :-) She and I will have our "talk" very soon and I pray that God will use it to heal some of her sweet little heart.
I really believe that his A-mom was supportive of our reunion, but A-dad was not. A-dad was adopted himself and I think his relationship with his Bmom was not positive, so he talked my son out of meeting me. But this is just a guess, since he won't contact me. I have made it known to Gerald (that's his name) that he can contact me whenever he wants but that he will have to be the one to reach out once he is comfortable doing so, and that I will not push him. That's all I can do...and so I wait...again. The waiting is always the hardest part. But at least, now I can see his hansome face in pix whenever I want, which is a lot more than I had before he came of age!
And again, thanks so much to everyone for welcoming me here! It is awesome to find people who actually get it after almost 21 years of carrying this on my own.
