I agree with Sally. Another contact may be in order.
It would be great if we knew in foresight what we know in hindsight. This forum has helped me a lot, but I also did not know about it (didn't have a computer) until after my search.
I would not "tear" myself up thinking it was something you did or said when you made contact. There are so many things that could be going on in the other person's life. But you will never know if you don't try again.
My niece enclosed a note with a self-addressed envelope when she was making contact. In part, it gave the other person options without having to extend any effort. Some of the options were: 1. You are not the person I am looking for. 2. You are the person I'm looking for but I don't want to make contact at this time. and then she gave more options. She did get replies and ended up finding her birth aunt who let her know that her bfather was still alive. She had been told that he had passed away!
Best wishes to you,
Snuffie
