Cyber Stalker...
Wow! Two blog posts in one day. When was the last time THAT happened? A lot on my mind lately, but no clear path to put it in writing.
I suddenly realized today that I hadn't heard from my bio-mom in a long while. After the excitement of meeting her for the first time, in person; I'm not really sure what I was expecting beyond that point. So I sent her an email today just to let her know I was thinking about her.
Then I Googled her. Yes, again.
Boy has she been busy! She has both a FaceBook page AND is on Twitter now among dozens of other new links. I was seconds from clicking the add friend link on FaceBook when I hesitated. Would that be weird? I know people have popped out of the woodwork and asked ME to be a FaceBook friend (and I was pleased as punch to say yes) but would that kind of overture be welcome in this case. I wonder. Then I found her on Twitter. She has 609 followers, so I would be relatively faceless in the crowd, but I hesitated again.
Yep. I am feeling very cyber stalkerish.
*sigh*
edited to add: I am not looking to replace my "real" mother. I just think it would be really cool to be friends with my bio-mom. Nuff said.

I think this is what you need to keep in mind: Yes, she is your bio-mom. However, she isn't your REAL mom.
But remember, I don't know what the hell I'm talking about, since I haven't had your experience. So take me with a grain of salt.
She's your bio mom. That counts for something.
And really...if she has 609 friends, I'd say she adds them rather indiscriminately. LOL Who in the world knows 609 people? Not I.
Anyway, I say go for it. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
XXOO
I agree with you that you should have a chance at both.
Your viewpoints really help me understand my children better. Your children are lucky to have you.
Good luck with your decision, Becky.
