Such a fascinating story. I just gobbled up this chapter. Your mother seems like a wonderful person. I'm very curious about her story. I sense the energy is good between you two even today. (Not sure how long ago you turned fifty-one years old.) Eager for the next chapter, Ulla!

Thank you so much for your lovely reviw. This is all happening in 2003. So twelve years ago now. I have to put that into my preview again. Yes, It was very emotional and you have a very good perception. More is to follow soon. That year was an eventful one. All the best. Ulla

Great story, Ulla!

This is a sweet bonding scene between an estranged mother and daughter. My heart is happy to know they were able to reestablish their bond.
This line is vague: "All my emotions had only started less than two months ago when this whole thing took off." What emotions are we talking about here? Is there a way you can be more specific? I know sometimes emotions are hard to express, but I think trying to be more specific here will help your reader understand what these two are going through. Perhaps adding in some body language and some sensory details would help me more fully understand. I've never been in this situation, so having those sorts of details would help.

Thank you so much for your heartfelt review. You are so right,. I should take new readers into consideration and show more of the emotions that took place. It's something I have covered in previous chapters. I really only started looking for my mother less than 2 months prior to this installment. It all takes place in 2003.Much more to follow. All the best. Ulla

this is an excellent chapter about your journey to discover your mother, ulla. I am glad you were able to find her and find acceptance by her and will have some questions answered at last.

What a truly touching chapter this is - how very wonderful that you and your birth mother got along so well on what could have been an awkward and difficult meeting. Wonderfully told too - you've written with heart and it's clear and easy to follow. :)

If maintaining suspense is a skill, this demonstrates a good deal of skill. The writing is authentic and evocative. The tension is palpable. I suspect many people will be anxious to learn about George and the real father the events that led to a child being separated from her mom, who is obviously a very caring and responsible person.

Would be scary being adopted, and not knowing if you should try to build a connection with the woman who gave you up.

Uses terms such as "I'm so glad you came" to better illustrate that some times that woman may also be looking for you, and wondering what you grew up to be.

Fifty years is a long time to make up for though.

A lot of lost years.
