This will be a Mother's Day to remember

Congrats and Best Wishes for an outcome that is positive for everyone involved!
 
You're post gave me chills OSD. From a former lurker, this is the kind of thing that makes people want to be part of the boards here and I'm glad you posted. Good Luck

Son of a bitch I DID use the Wrong your. Smh

Thanks for sharing and congrats. Always great hearing a heart warming story.
 
that's awesome OSD... definitely a monumental moment in your life. Congratulations!
 
Congrats, OSD. Let us know how it goes, I'm sure it will be emotional.
 
I hope it works out well for you, OSD. Its something I've never had the desire to pursue.

I just got off the phone with a person from the Children's Home Society of Virginia, and then immediately after, OSDToy. Earlier this week the State of Virginia granted a request for full disclosure of my adoption file. The short version is that after a 12+ year search, I now know the name, address and phone number of my birth mother, and she has my corresponding information as well. It looks like I am going to finally get to say "Thank you" to the woman who most likely made the most difficult decisions of her life over 43 years ago, AND I get to tell her personally on Mother's Day weekend. I can honestly say that I have never experienced emotions like this in my life, it is almost overwhelming. I have no idea what to say when we speak, and I am essentially tearing up as I type this. I am sure that some of you will feel that this place is not the forum for this type of melodrama, but I feel that many of you are friends of the OSD family and I just wanted those of you in that category to know. Thanks for letting me share.

I am soooooo happy for you OSD!!

Right now, tears of joy are literally streaming down my smiling cheeks.

If I could, I would hug both you and your birthmom so tight and never let you go.

I love you, OSD:h34rt:
 
Thanks to all of you today (with the exception of Matt'sFeelings), I am exhausted, but a good exhausted. I promise to keep you posted as events unfold, good, bad or indifferent. I will most likely call her tomorrow or Sunday, I just need to collect my thoughts and get it right. Special thanks to lbE08, you know why...:) I really appreciate all of your thoughts, support and input, good and bad, you guys are great...THIS IS WHY I AM PROUD TO BE A DEMON DEACON!

That's awesome, OSD...really happy for you. It indeed will be a Mother's Day to remember. I'll think of you and your birth mom on Sunday. My mom passed away when I was only 24 (far too young) and as I said on another thread, she was adopted. She never wanted to learn anything about her birth mom, and though I respected her decision, I never understood it. I wish you the very best!
