OT: I am so blessed this happened!

Hey all. Well, the most AWESOME thing happened to me this past sunday. Let me explain something first so you all will understand. When I was younger, 19 years old, I had to make the hardest decision of my life. I had 2 kids and I couldn't take care of them both, so I gave my oldest son named Jacob up for adoption. He was 2 years old at the time. Ok well there hasn't been a day that went by that I didn't think of him. So, this past sunday I get up and I do my usual thing. Get dressed take my vitamins and then check my email. So, I get on the laptop and I see I have a facebook messege from someone so I check it. It was Jacob's adopted mom! She was asking me if Joshua still lived with me and that Jacob wanted to get in contact with Joshua. Well, all I could think was, ok this has got to be a big joke. So I sent her a messege back and this went on for a little while. Then all of a sudden, I get a facebook messege from Jacob! OMG, I started crying like a baby. My son Bobbie was looking at me and said, Mom whats wrong? I couldnt even talk so I went into the bathroom and just cried and cried. Bobbie Sr came in there and asked me what was wrong. I told him that Jacob had left me a messege and that he said he had been looking for Joshua for a long time but has been looking for me for his whole life. I was so overwhelmed that I didn't know what to do. So after I calmed down I sent him a messege back. I got one from him then saying that he knew he was adopted and that he still loves me. Everyone, I thought I was going to have a heart attack. My chest started hurting, I was continuously crying and it was like I was in a dream and I was waiting for someone to wake me up. Well me and Jacob continued to chat on facebook. We was IMing each other and he goes, I see you have a phone. I go yea I do. He then said maybe we can chat sometime or text. I was like, sure, that would be great. So I gave him my number and we started texting till he had to go to church. His last text said, I will call you later mom, I love you. OMG, I was and still am ecstatic. But anyways, he gets home from church and texts me. Then a little while later he goes, mom can I call you. I go of course you can. So, he called me and between me and joshua talking to him, we stayed on the phone for 4 hours! That was the best 4 hours of my life! So, after we stopped talking on the phone, he started texting me again. And he called  me I know at least 4 more times lol. Ok now to the best part of all. This saturday, he is coming to see me! After 12 years of being away from my son, I get to actually see him, hug him and tell him that I love him so very much. I did when I had to give him up and I still do now. That never changed. 
OMG, I am so happy. Now everyone knows how happy I am about having my surgery, but just like I told Annie, If I had not had this surgery, I know I would never have been able to talk to him cause I would probably be dead. So, thats another reason for me to be glad I had my surgery. So, when I see him on saturday, I am definitely taking pics and I will put some on here. I am so blessed!!! 

I am so happy for you!!  You've made me cry.  There are like hundreds of stories from facebook where people are reuniting.  On a TV show I watched this week a woman has wrote a book about people reconnecting

Thank you so very much. I get to talk to him everyday and yesterday we had a long talk. I told him that I hope he doesn't have any resentment towards me for what I had to do. He told me, No, I love you momma. OMG, I love to hear him say that! I mean, my other 2 kids tell me that they love me all the time and I have been in there life since the day they were born and I love hearing them say they love me too but when Jacob says it, I just wanna start crying cause it means so much to me. I have been waiting 12 years for this and I can't wait till saturday. My whole family is excited to meet him and they have already showed him love and affection. He already calls Bobbie is dad (Not step-dad by the way :) ), Joshua and little Bobbie can't stop talking about there older brother and even betty has accepted him as her grandson. OMG i am such a happy person! Every since the day I had to give him up I have had this empty place in my heart but now, my heart is just overflowing with love!!! 

What a fabulous blessing for you and your family. Have you ever heard the song Everything to Me by Mark Shultz. It is a song he wrote his biological mom , that he has never met. The words that when you gave him up you gave him everything is the chorus. This sounds like how your son feels. Take a listen, although you don't need any more reason to cry LOL.
Congratulations

Thank you so much. i will listen to the song cause to me it sounds like a great one. You are absolutely right about this being a blessing for me and my family. I never even imagined that this would happen. But believe me, this is the best surprise I could EVER ask for.

What a fabulous story!! I'm sitting here crying as I read it! I am SO happy for you and your son! I was adopted at 3 days old. I am now almost 46. My adoptive parents have both passed away. I have always dreamed of meeting my biological mother. So very excited for you!

Thank you so very much. I amextremely excited as well. You know, in the back of my mind I just keep thinking that this is a dream and I am going to wake up and realize this never happened. I have been hoping and praying that this would happen and I am so grateful that it has. Jacob means the world to me and I just don't want to lose him again. I have told him that I know over 50 times since we first got in contact with each other on the 17th of this month. It would completely break my heart in 2 if that was to happen. So, I am just gonna keep thinking positive and Hope to the Lord that things go well. You know, I was just thinking. I had my surgery on April 16th of 2009 and I first got contacted on October 17 of this year so it was like exactly one year, 6 months and one day apart from each other. I even marked my calendar and put it in my phone the day we started talking. I wanna remember that day for the rest of my life!!
