I would like to be able to talk to you...
Mom 08 September 2009 at 10:45
I'd like to talk to you but how do you know me? What would you like to talk about? What is your birthdate, where were you born, what are your parents names?
Mom 08 September 2009 at 11:38
Please don't be offended by my asking questions but if you are who I'm hoping you are, I'll love to be able to talk and maybe meet up

I'd like to be able to talk to you because I think you may be able to help me fill in some of the missing blanks in my life.
I was born {date} in {place}, but I don't know what time I was born at as I don't know anyone who was there at the time. My parents, {their names}, lived in {village name} on the day they had me.
I'm not offended in the slightest - and even if we turn out not to be who we think we may be, asking and answering questions is essential to us finding this out.
My middle names used to be {mid-name#1 mid-name#2}, but my parents dropped these names when they had me to save us all having to spend so much time in the form filling that Life(tm) throws at us. :)

I still have a few questions. I know who you are but who do you think I am, how did you find me? At the mo I am happy but scared stiff. Will be online about 10pm. have accepted you as a friend
Me 08 September 2009 at 18:16
Thank you for the friending.
Well if my resources are correct, then you're my mom. While my resources are relatively reliable, I do accept their fallibility, and so was pretty much hoping you'd say something along the lines of knowing who I am, as I think it pretty much confirms my hunch. Not only that, but your picture was the first picture I'd ever seen in my life of someone who looks like me - well, other than my Daughter's picture anyway.
I won't be online again now until I get back in at about 11pm. If that's too late for you then we can always talk another day. Heck, even PMs like this are more than we've had in a long time, and I suspect we're both going to have some weird emotions and feelings to deal with, so I can't see that taking it slow'll hurt. Not that I'm sure I'll manage to not jump in with both feet (at least in the immediate future) if you do confirm that you're my mom.
Either way, thank you for replying (and yes, I waffle - sorry :)).
Mom 08 September 2009 at 20:06
Yes, I am your mom!!!
