00:00In less than two months, I'm going to meet my biological mother for the first time.
00:03I literally can't believe that those words are coming out of my mouth.
00:06I was adopted from Colombia when I was two months old and I haven't been back since.
00:10But I have found out that I have a full biological sister who lives in Sweden
00:14who I'll be traveling with to Colombia so we can meet our birth mother together.
00:18I started the process of finding my biological mother when I was like 16 years old.
00:23So it's been about 10 years leading up to this moment.
00:25The way that I'm feeling now is a lot more nervous than I was about a month ago
00:30just because I feel like it's getting real.
00:33I also have recovered some of my old files which actually showed
00:36how big of a conflict my birth mother had about putting me up for adoption essentially.
00:41She was so afraid of me being adopted into a family where I wouldn't have a good experience
00:48and the fact that I've had such an amazing upbringing and I'm going to be able to tell her that
00:53in person.
00:53So I'm so glad that I was able to find her on my own and then essentially go through that
00:58process years ago.
01:00That way when me and my sister found each other it was easy to just kind of bring everyone together
01:04and I can't even think what it has been like for her the past 27 years.
01:08So I really feel like this is completing the puzzle in its entirety
01:12and it will not be the last time that I go to Colombia.
01:15I really hope to maintain a relationship for her to know that me and my sister will always be there
01:21for her.
01:21My entire existence is because of her.
01:24The entire life that I have is because of her.
01:27But any of these situations can come with many pieces, can be very complex
01:30but I'm going into it with an open mind and I am anxiously and nervously excited
01:37and I know it will be everything that little me has ever wished for.
01:42So follow along for the entire journey.
01:45I will do another update soon.
