After Searching, I Found And Met My Birth Mother

Malaisia had just turned 18 years old and knew she had some tough decisions ahead of her, about college, and where to live, what to do for work and career, but also, for her, there was something else looming.

Eighteen was typically when kids who had been adopted decided whether or not they wanted to find, and maybe meet, their birth parents, their biological mother and father. For her, finding and meeting her birth mother had always been on her mind. And, even though she had it set in her mind that she would find her biological mother as soon as she turned 18 years old, she didn't. She was too nervous about it.

Over the years she had always tried to imagine what it would be like to reconnect with her birth mother, wondered what she looked like and if they looked similar or not at all alike. She pictured them hanging out together, doing the kinds of things that moms and daughters do, and becoming best friends. She imagined having big family gatherings with her adopted family and biological family all together.

All of these hopeful pictures ran through her mind but underneath it all, still, she had no idea what to expect, no idea if she could even find her birth mother, and if she did find her, she didn't know whether she would want to meet.

She had spent years searching for her, just getting ready, and she had never seen a profile on any social media, until one day, finally, on Facebook, there she was - her birth mother. Malaisia, so nervous and anxious, sent her mom a message. Days went by without any response, then weeks, then months. UNTIL, one day late in December, a reply popped up on her computer screen - it was her biological mother, and she wanted to set up a meeting to see her.

A ton of emotions ran through her at that moment, but mostly she was happy, and relieved because her birth mother hadn't forgotten about her after all those years, and, she wanted to meet Malaisia! They kept texting and planned to meet on Christmas day after Malaisia had spent time with her adopted family.

When Christmas day came she was beyond nervous - she hadn't seen her birth mother in over eleven years - but she was also totally excited about it, had been waiting for this day, and dreaming about it for a long, long time.

Not only was she about to meet her her birth mother, but also her grandmother, two of her aunts and some of her cousins too. Her grandmother met her at the door with huge hugs, and then there was her mother. It was just like staring into a mirror, her mother looked just like her. That's when it fully clicked and hit her, this was her actual biological birth mother.

They looked at each other, and hugged for what seemed like forever. It was so strange for her to be living a moment that she had dreamt about and imagined for so long.

They spent the afternoon hanging out and talking and trying to catch each other up on everything. It was an amazing start to a new chapter in Malaisia's life.

She and her mom definitely have a long way to go to make up for all the time they've missed, but that's okay. Just being able to sit with her and talk to her is an amazing feeling.

That Christmas was THE best Christmas ever, and the present of finding and meeting her birth mother was the best present she could have ever hoped for.

This is so sad because not a lot of kids that live alone get to meet their real mother

[laurenswangler]

I just hope that she doesn’t forget about or leave her adoptive family because they were her parents to and they were there for her as well and I just hope she doesn’t forget about them and move on to just hang out with her biological mom

[romiellag]

*didn't see her mom in 11 years* "hi mom how are you doing?"

[akajesus]

You could tell she REALLY cared by saying the exact date her mother responding back. I could barely remember...what was I saying again?

Glad you finally found your adoptive mother and family.
I wonder why she got taken away though.
