Wow, what an incredible blessing to be able to finally trace your birth mother, but I can only imagine the gamut of emotions that have overtaken you. Fear, love, helplessness perhaps, to name a few. All the years that you missed. All the birthdays, Christmases and every holiday in between.
I can't wait to hear how it all goes down, yet I can't help feeling a bit of trepidation in the event that she doesn't want to meet you. Somehow, I think it will be ok, but I can hardly wait for the outcome.
The build up to the telephone call is great, as it creates a good deal of suspense.
Well done, Ulla.

Hi Faye, thank you so much for your lovely review. Yes it was very emotional, but more to follow. Thanks for catching that silly mistake. I've corrected. All best. Ulla

Hi, Ulla, I gave my daughter all the useful info you had given me as she is planning everything. She was delighted that you told me all that. I leave 2 weeks on Friday, guess I will have to refrain from Fanstory during that time!! You are very welcome, Ulla I love your story. faye

Thank you so much for coming back on my info of Denmark. I just hope you'll have half decent weather as this is deep autumn in Denmark. Have a lovely time and please report back. Lots of regards. Ulla
Comment from Sasha
You did a marvelous job with this chapter. Your description of the sense of grief struck me hard. I cannot imagine being in that position. What to say, what to do. What if she shuts the door in your face. The not knowing would just be emotionally draining. Great work with this one.

Comment from light
Wow you are really making progress. This is exciting. I remember when I found my friend's mother. At first she wouldn't admit it was she but later my friend did get to meet her mother and hear her story. This is so interesting.

Comment from nancy_e_davis
Wow! That is wonderful! I can only imagine the feelings and thoughts you were having at that moment in time. In some ways the computer age is a blessing but it is still ruining the world. This is great Ulla. I am so happy for you. Can't wait to see what happens next. Hugs. Nancy

Comment from Joyce Long
This is really different. I can't imagine what it would be like to be adopted and not know your real parents.
Your story develops well, but I did have some questions.
At the end of the paragraph that says you will phone your mother at nine o'clock in the morning: How did you get in Missouri? I thought you were in England. If Ulla is in Missouri, then the time schedule is off.
Next to the last line "Feel" should be "Feeling."
This develops well and leaves several unanswered questions.
Well done. I hope her mother wants her.

Hi Joyce, I am sorry if that didn't come across clear. I was still in Scotland and had not yet left for Missouri, so the time difference is correct. I will correct. Thanks a lot for your review,. Ulla
Comment from seaglass
Unless one had experience this, I doubt if it can even be imagined. What a flood of mixed emotions this must cause. I am so looking forward to the outcome
