Enjoying the "single" W-A-L-K (Faith 54)

[MAL]

I figure that while I am here I will post a few updates since my last posts.

First on the list: OS's bio dad.

Well, we found him, met him...etc.. Yep! Such a great story! It was better than I could have ever dreamed it would be.

We've spent time with him, and they are now at the point that they are spending time together on their own without me even coordinating it. They are alot alike in many ways, and it's been great to see them get to know each other.

They may never be close like a real father and son, but this is what it is, and we're just going to go with it.

We've also met his family. The grandparents, aunt, uncle, and cousins. OS looks a lot like their side of the family when you look through pictures. It's pretty amazing.

The family was very welcoming, considering that they didn't even know about OS or me (except the aunt who apparently always knew - I didn't realize). They are wonderful people...pulling out pictures everytime we get together.

We don't see them as often as we would like because our schedules are all so different, and they live almost 2 hours away.

OS sees his bio dad more because he is local, but again, even that is tough.

So anyway, I wanted to share that success story.

It might not be the kind of success story we are hoping to read on a DB thread, but I'll take it!!
