Tim's Birth Mom Update

So Tim went and met his mom and they sat and talked for about 2 1/2 hours... he said she's really nice, but it was just like talking to a stranger and he had no emotions at all. I told him that's totally understandable! It turns out she didn't know she was pregnant until she went into labor - she got her period all through pregnancy and only gained 15 pounds. When she went into labor she thought she was having a gall bladder attack and went to the ER - they told her she was having a baby, and there was Tim! (She named him William Charles, but he's just Tim). Tim wasn't actually adopted till he was 7 months old because his birth father refused to acknowledge paternity and wouldn't sign the papers, so Tim spent 7 months in foster care before he went to live with his mom and dad. So she's had three failed marriages (I told Tim that's why he can't hang on to a relationship!) and has no other children because she had ovarian cancer and had a hysterectomy. She's also an only child, so Tim was the only grandchild and he actually talked to his grandmother on the phone in New York. He said he's very glad he met her and talked to her but can't see himself having a deep relationship with her because they don't have much in common. I think he's in shock - his adoptive mom (Meg) is absolutely THRILLED and can't wait to meet his birth mom - she's more excited than Tim!
