Birthmom in reunion!

There are so many reasons why a birthmother would cut off contact. It may be that it just was too painful for her.
Since it's been quite a number of years she may need some time to process things before she gets back to you.

I guess this is hard for me because I SO would have LOVED an open adoption but 24 years ago it wasn't an option for me, not sure my son's mom would have allowed it either (she's not so happy about us being in reunion).

I'm going to jump out on a limb here. I'm wondering if it might be ok for your daughter to send the letter. I'm just thinking maybe it would help her to understand that her birth daughter needs and wants her in her life.
Of course on the other hand, if the birthmother isn't able to deal with contact it could be really rough on your daughter.
Ack it's hard!
I hope she calls back and solves the problem.

I wish you all the best though and please let us know what you decide and how things go...
