I agree that a letter is a good way to go in the beginning. If you're anything like me, you have to read and re-read and revise important letters. I want to make sure they are exactly right (even though most of the time they are still not right). I love the delete button and the back button. lol

I hope you're able to construct a letter that will say what you want to say.

I'm a little confused though. You said it was an open adoption and that you've written and called over the years. I always thought an open adoption meant that you were also involved in your child's life through the years and not just communicating through the adoptive parents.

Maybe I'm not up on exactly what open adoption is. I hope the adoptive parents will actually give your daughter the letter you write and send. I just (due to my own experiences) don't trust any adoptive parent who would have hesitations about your talking to your child.

There shouldn't be any hesitation or anger on their part for your wanting to communicate with your daughter to a point you decided to wait another two years. I would be leary about them after that.

I hope all goes well for you.
