I don't know if that generalization is true or not.

But I do know that it is common for there to be times when there is lots of contact and times when there isn't.

I wouldn't give up on her yet. If you have no addess to send it to you might write the letters and put them in a box. When she does make contact with you again you could send her those letters.

Another option would be to see if LDS social services can act as a go between. Maybe you could send the letters to them instead of her and when she is ready to pick them up she can do so, that way you don't have to keep tabs on where she is and where to send the stuff each time.

You might also consider opening a webiste just for your contact with her and putting your daughters updates and pictures on there so she will always have access to them whenever she wants, and you can update them as frequently as you want. That way no matter where she is she will always have access to your updates and your e-mail address.

The website idea works really well for me because we have 3 different sets of birthfamilies we have to update as well as all of mine and my husbands family (since we are military). It's so much easier to put all the updates and pictures in one place for everyone to see rather than mailing a bunch of different letters off and having to pay to print off a bunch of pictures for each family. This way they can choose which pictures they like adn want copies of and print them off themselves.
