Well, like Brandy, I'm not surprised at the lack of reply. I would be far too frightened of being hurt, again, to stick my neck out on the chopping block. I would like to think that I would do it since it would be what is best for my child but I would definitely be scared and need some prodding.
My suggestion is to keep emailing and/or writing.
AHHA! I came up with a better idea.
Perhaps have your daughter write a brief letter. Just have her write about herself. Don't tell your daughter that it is TO her birthmother because you don't need her to feel sad if she doesn't reply right away. Include a letter form YOU stating that your daughter wrote the letter and really wants her back in her life.
I think that would tug at even the most wary of heartstrings.
