In part 1, I mentioned that my friend Kim sent me a link that she had found and wondered about. The link took me to the adoption.com registry. I clicked it, gasped in amazement, and then quickly emailed Kim back. Her children's information was right there in front of my eyes - their birth mother had registered and wanted to contact them.

I explained to Kim about the registry and two dates popped out on the registry. The first date was the date that the birth mom originally registered. It was very close to the time that Kim had an eery feeling that her children's birth mom was searching for them. The second date she updated her contact information. That date coincided with when Kim told me just a few week earlier that she again had a strong feeling that her children's birth mom was searching for them.

Kim acted on the mysterious sense that her children's other birth was looking for them. She was right, and her children have recently met and begun to get to know their birth mother. They have also received some answers to some different questions. Their birth mom is now free of the substance abuse problems that plagued her year ago, and holds a responsible job.

She chose to come back into her children's lives once her life was in order, and she believed that she had something to offer her children. My friend Kim is a good mom. She found her children's birth mom on a hunch, and then facilitated their reunion. Due to some serious past issues her children's birth mom had, Kim could have said that reunion would be too risky for her children. Their reunion has been a bit scary for Kim, but, she put her feelings aside because she believed that her children might benefit from being in touch with their birth mom. She did what a good mom does - puts her children first.
