It is a rough road, but from what I hear...worth it.

I have kept track of where my daughter and her family have lived over the years. I also found her on facebook and for a short while was even able to see her profile and downloaded some pictures! I saw her once when she was a couple of months old and not again until the facebook pictures when she was 14. I have not tried to contact her but just recently I sent my daughter's mom a message via facebook just letting her know that I'm sorry for the past and that I would love to be a part of my daughter's life someday if my daughter is interested. She never responded to me. I have decided that I will not contact my daughter until she is 18 and out of high school. I am just so grateful to know what she looks like and she looks happy too. Hopefully I will know her someday. Patiently waiting...
