[quote=Anonymous]My mom had a baby over 50 years ago that she placed up for adoption.  He reached out two years ago.  He just called and left a message on her home phone (she is probably the only person left with a home phone).  They chatted for a bit.  But then kind of blew him off.  She continued to talk about him and he continued to reach out, but she never contacted him back.  I eventually reach out to him.  We talked and have remained in contact.  He came out to visit last summer.  It went pretty well and we have continued to be in contact. But mom has not fully embraced him.  Part of it is due to the fact that his birth father is not the person that she thinks it was.  She is adamant that it is one person, but DNA confirms a different person.  This has led to some speculation that maybe she was had sex with the person, without knowing/remembering.  So, maybe she was raped or taken advantage of.  I think she is struggling with what she thought was the truth is not really the truth.  Lots of deep emotions which have made it difficult for her to develop a relationship with him.[/quote]
