Do you live close to your bdaughter? Did you see her often in the past year? Does she call/write often? And how old was she when she contacted you?
Hi again...to answer, yes I live about 20 miles away from Tammi; she contacted me last year almost exactly a year ago now using the info I left in a packet at the agency. She just turned 22 on Oct.16th so she was 21 at that time. In the beginning we called/e-mailed each other several times a day; later it became daily then a couple of times a week. She is experiencing some problems within her A-family and since I don't wish to enable her I have elected to step back, but we spoke yesterday. I actually talk more with her Mom.
The thing I want to share is that the feelings of losing her forever did lessen in time. I no longer fear her leaving me again so I no longer have the desire to know her every move. I don't see myself as her MOTHER. She has a wonderful Mom, instead I veiw her as a unique friend, kinda like an out of town cousin. Best wishes in your reunion. Tara
