and.... the next step in your journey is to move forward.
What do you think is your biggest fear in meeting your family?? Stepping out of your self, how do you think you would feel if it was you?, and a daughter you let go was looking for you? Enjoy your incredible journey. Give my blessings to your family and your refound family.

You can openly discuss your situation in the Parenting forum. I'm postive you are not alone.

April, I just recently found my biological family (full story is in the relationship forum in a thread I created) - and yes, it's very scary, but thrilling at the same time. If nothing in the world ever messed your head up, this sure will. We are the lucky few to be given the opportunity to actually know and meet our bio family, some adoptees search years with no results, unfortunately. See the half glass full in this, as opposed to the half glass empty, of course you are scared, it's a very strange situation. I was so freaked out after finding them, I cannot express. Almost like I was having an identity crisis or something, until I put things back into perspective. Remember, you are one of the lucky few, everything happens for a reason, nothing happens by mistake. If you need to talk and figure your head out and sort your thoughts, contact me. I'll respond ASAP. I can relate 1000%.

April I am a birth mother looking for my son. Thank you for your courage in your search. I am afraid to use my space because my other 2 children dont know yet. I dont know what to do.
