[quote=Anonymous]My son, now 45 was adopted at 2 days old. We raised him knowing that he was adopted and didn't keep it a secret at all.  Since it took place in SC it was closed.  Three years ago I went on line after watching the locator on TV. Typed in his name and DOB and the Hospital and Walla, I found his Birthparents.  I didn't really expect to see anything. Once that was done, I had to tell him what I did. You know I thought that my son and I had a great relationship, the relationship between his wife and myself wasn't the greatest but it was alright. He has two little girls I love dearly.  He contacted his birth mother and I thought that this could be a positive thing.  We even all went to Disney World together.  His Birth Mother and Father were 15 and 18 and decided to adopt him out because they were so young. To make a long story short, his birth father lived in Maine and was a Widower and his Birth Mother was a Widow in SC. They have since married 2 years ago. Scott was bestman, the grandchildren were flowergirls and My husband ( My sons adopted father died 10 years ago) and myself went to the wedding.  Since then My Son and I have grown apart.  He even said he could stop his relationship with me anytime he wanted too. His birth parents decided to move where my son and his family live. My daughter in law sold them a home not 10 mins from her mother and father and only 20 mins from theirs. They go to all the girls soccer games. I live 4 hours away and I am very left out.   Now they are all having Thanksgiving together, all three families and they will have Christmas together as well.  I wish I never look up his birth parents because I feel heart broken. I know he is older but my grandchildren are now calling them grandma and grandpa. We are just called by our first names. Do adopted parents count...NO NOT IN THIS CASE[/quote]
