Jonny's account of meeting his birthmom and brother last night.

The whole thing was just fascinating to behold, and very lovely indeed. I sat back and watched them gawk at each other in awe, laugh with eerily-similar cadences, and talk animatedly about the thirty-odd years they'd been missing each other.

It was kind of like DMC: My Adoption Journey only with 100% less Sarah McLachlan.

Seriously, what a friggin' day for Jon! When he'd woken up earlier that morning, he didn't even know his birthmom's name. By nightfall, he was acquainted with a whole host of new relatives and had finally hugged the woman who'd made his passage onto this planet possible. Neither of us could sleep after we came home. ("I'm too excited to schweep!" Jonny wailed in a spot-on impression of that annoying Disney World commercial.)

So rad!
