Can't believe how far my adoption reunion has come.

On Friday night Danny and I went to a Los Angeles Galaxy soccer match, as we do. When we came home I was tired and needed to go to bed and he went upstairs to play video games with his little brother. When I woke up I saw his car was still parked outside and he had decided to stay the night. I made a cooked breakfast. We all ate together, he hung out with the twins for a few hours after.
It was all so amazingly normal. I wasn't thinking "OMG Danny's here!" I didn't feel the need to stay up with him until he left or went to bed. I didn't feel the need to be with him the whole time he was here and was able to go watch TV by myself while he spent time with his sibs. And, I didn't go fetal the moment he left.
LOL, While I'm writing this I imagine people thinking "so what?" But, I know any of you who have reunited with a loved one that you were separated from by adoption knows exactly how amazing and huge this is.

Know exactly what you mean. I don't freak out anymore when Chris comes for a visit, nor do I get bent out of shape when he doesn't call. It does feel great to reach some sort of a normal relationship, well, as normal as these can be. I wondered at times if I'd ever get to this point.
BTW, glad to hear you've reached this stage, it is a good place to be!
ok, I have tears and a smile :) So happy, that is so awesome. I know its from the other side of things, but I too loved when the relationship between my son's first mom and us was so normal and comfortable. At a visit last year she and I and our son all took a nap in my bed! I woke up and was like how cool is that. Again, so happy for you!

So wonderful to hear some one say the word NORMAL. My third f2f will be soon this time in NY with son in law and both grand kids. I finally can say I feel its so natural and normal. mlc
