Angel, great advice. Kat, I'm an "instant gratification" person. My bson and I aren't exchanging e-mails yet, still snail mail. As soon as I get a letter I read it 3-4 times and write a reply the same day. If it took longer than a month for a response back I'd start to get depressed and think that my he has all the info he wanted and wasn't interested anymore. It's been just over a year and I sent a quick card for St. Paddy's day and I got a long letter on Thursday - just over 2 weeks! Also, all kinds of info on his family, girlfriend, job, etc. I'm hoping it is because I was totally honest and have given him pictures of everyone, including his 2 sisters (his bdad and I married 5 years after he was born) and pretty much all our stories. Being patient was SO hard but I'm hoping allowing him the time he needs will help us figure out what kind of relationship is best for us. All the best and I'm watching the clock again!
