Possibly my expectations would have been more realistic, and I would not have been quite as disappointed. All in all though, we have become friends. Since that first meeting, Margaret and I have seen each other several times. We keep in touch with letters and phone calls, though not on a regular basis. It is here that I would like to point out that ANY member of the triad who is searching must prepare themselves for any possible outcome.
Reunions are a long process and can be a lot of work.
Realistic goals should be set. Moving too fast can have disastrous potential. Although Margaret and I have had some issues to deal with, we have worked at it and things are progressing suitably for both of us. I feel closer to her now than ever before. After four years, Margaret told me who my birth father was.
