*** Part 1*** My husband was adopted at birth. His biological mother was 18 with no job or home. She was living with friends. She decided to give him up. He is now 24 years old. For the last year, he decided that he wanted to meet his mother. He has been searching on the internet, thru his adoption records that he has, and even called the adoption agency. The agency told him that they can't give him any information about his mom till he is 25. I don't understand why, he is an adult. Well he found his mother about 4 months ago. He didnt call right away because he wanted to find the right words to say. He also found out that he has a step sister and found her number. He called his step sister today and found out that his biological mother died 2 years ago. Her appendix burst while she was sleeping and had Hepitias B. My husband is so sad , he wanted to know his mother and meet her. He was so heartbroken. He is going to where his mother lived to meet his step father. They are going to give him alot of pictures of his mother and some home movies, he also found out that his mother has saved stuff that has been passed on from his biological family that is going to him. He was her only child. My poor baby!!!

 

**Part 2** As you can read part 1, my husband has been thru a hard time. Things has got better. He is in daily contact with his biological family. He has talked to his biological aunts and uncles and cousins. We won't be able to meet his aunts and uncles soon, except for 1 uncle. Moslty all of his family except of his uncle lives in Canada. One of his uncle lives only 5 hours away. We will be meeting him and his family in 2 1/2 weeks. My husband is so excited. His uncle has sent my husband many pictures of his mother and pictures of her growing up. Nate (my husband) looks like his mom in a way, but my oldest son looks more like her.

Here is a picture of his mother. I just took the picture of the picture. My computer scanner isnt working.

Wow...I am so sorry he did not get to meet her. But, it is great that his family is welcoming him and that he is going to meet some of them! I hope he has a great time!!

South...

She was a beautiful lady. I'm sorry your DH was not able to meet his mom and actually be able to speak directly to her. The next best thing is her family. It is wonderful they have open arms and are willing to share pic, movies and experiences with your DH. Hopefully this way he can make some sort of connection with his Bio Mom. thank you for sharing your DH's story. I hope the meeting goes well in 2 weeks!

Peace,

Kimberly
