Biomom denies our mother/son connection, considers me “chosen family” instead

Trying at reunion again with my bio mom. Last time didn’t end well. She says our relationship is important to her, but doesn’t like being affectionate toward me and denies that we are essentially a mother/son. Says she still doesn’t know where she “emotionally fits” in all this.

She says I’m her “chosen family”. Like no, you didn’t “choose me”, you gave me away and dropped contact afterward despite the adoption being open. We are biologically related, the opposite of chosen. This thing we are doing is literally called reunion, that means we are “reunited family”.

Idk. All I wanted out of reunion was to know and feel that my mom loves me. I did not find that. Instead, I feel rejected and betrayed. I don’t know what kind of relationship she is trying to build with me, but it doesn’t feel right to me.
