2020 is just crazy

And getting crazier. First Covid then the riots, hurricanes, fires, economic disasters and then today I made contact with my birth mother. I was given up for adoption at birth in 1969. Her sister found me through a Ancestry.com dna match. I talked to both of them today. My parents always said they would help me find her if I ever wanted. I wasn’t even looking. I had just done the ancestry thing to learn about my background (I’m Portuguese, Irish & German). Pretty emotional day to say the least! My adoptive Mom..who will always be my mom, was very happy to hear the news too. Birth mother was really young and her father basically wouldn’t allow her to keep me. Ok 2020 what’s next?!!

I believe it will too.
TWO moms? You are blessed.
Young girls back then didn't have much say in that sort of thing and were scared to death and did what they were told to do. If she had been a few years older things would have been totally different.
Keep us posted on how it goes.
Good luck to you.
Definitely a good thing. She carried a lot of guilt and pain for years.

We’ve sent pictures back and forth as well as talked on the phone a bit. It’s going well and my family is very supportive.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
