Advice Needed for Stressed Bear.

[lashbear]

Hello all. I need your advice on a tricky situation.

Funny how things all happen at once, isn't it ?

I have just had the one thing I NEVER expected happen to me.

My Birth-mother called my Dad and said she wants to meet me.

IF I do so, I will be meting my Birth-mother, her three sons (all younger than me) and her husband (who is not my birth father.)

THis has shaken my world to it's foundations.

I'm of a mind that I should get to know them and at least form a friendship via web / phone (they are on the Opposite side of Australia from me (West Coast)). I'm not afraid of offending my mum who adopted me, as she has passed on, and my father has already spent several hours on th phone telling my Birth-mum all about me.

Has anyone here had experience with meeting their Birth-mother (or father) and if so, how did it go ?

Her sons (27, & twins, 30) are into Manga and RPG etc. They sound really cool from what I've seen on the net. They have red hair too. (I'm gingery).

Dad has said he will fly me and lashstoat over to Perth to meet them if we want.

I have told them I will call her this Fri - should I take it further than that ?

Signed,
Confused & dazed bear.
