I'd actually like her to be as comfortable as possible (she is, after all, 89 years old!) So whereever she wants to meet is fine with me. I'll deal with it.
I had a pretty good idea of why my mother had to give me up, and it's been pretty accurate so far: The social stigma of an out-of-wedlock pregancy 35 years ago, yadda yadda yadda, no money, etc. And so far that's been pretty accurate to my ideas/fantasies. What has surprised me is how successful the family as a whole seems. But as everyone on this board knows, lots can be hidden behind success. I'm proceeding cautiously, but with an open mind. Nobody gets through life without some baggage, not even so-called "successful" people, and I'm prepared to help carry. My main worry is that they accept me.
Thanks for your concern, noa. This is a delicate situation with no real set protocol. But I know that I am very ready. :)
