NFR (not feminist related): I'm meeting my son for the first time this Thanksgiving weekend!
Just wanted to share my happy news with everyone. I am meeting my oldest son, who was surrendered for adoption over 28 years ago, this Thanksgiving weekend! We have been emailing each other for the past few months, and when I mentioned I would be in Houston for Thanksgiving (my mom and my youngest son live there) he asked if I'd like to meet!

I can't tell you how excited, scared, shocked, overwhelmed I feel. This is one of the MOST important days in my life. One that I've waited over half my life for (I'm 45). I never thought this day would come!

5. Best Wishes
I wish you the very best as you continue to get to know your son.
I met my half-sister at our mother's funeral and it is something that I will never forget.
Happy Thanksgiving
