Thank you all for your input
We're still just waiting at this point and going crazy I might add!
Baunts told me they would get back to me within a week to let us know their decision. They promised they wouldn't keep her waiting. After 3 1/2 weeks we still had heard nothing
My friend did send a short letter to baunts with a photo and a little info about her life and requested medical information. She asked me to call to confirm that they had recieved it after several weeks had gone by and when I called they simply said they recieved it and were not sure if they were going to respond. We left it at that and don't know where to go from here
She wanted to wait for her baunts decision before she decided if she was going to contact her siblings or not, but how long should she wait? Oh, what to do, what to do!
