It's cool that they are reaching out to you, Lash- I know a lot of people who've given up a child for adoption, and it is a heartbreaking decision to make for most birth parents. Even if you hadn't been through your recent health issues, I would still advise that you follow your instincts and get to know them by phone and letters first. It won't be so ackward when and if you finally do see them face-to-face, and you'll have a better idea of what you may be walking into. I've known some successful reunions, and some not-so-great ones, so tread carefully.
