A Lifetime Movie
Allow us to preface this story by saying that the OP has the most amazing adoptive mother ever. Not only did she allow the OP to look for their bio-mom, but she was also the one who pretty much set up the meeting. But that’s not the most surprising part.
Apparently, their meeting with their bio-mom wasn’t awkward in any way. In fact, in their own words, the bio-mom was “everything [the OP] could have hoped to find.” It was like briefly living in a Lifetime Movie instead of the Jerry Springer episode the OP was expecting. This is one of the most wholesome child-meet-parent stories we’ve ever heard.
