need help please!

Hi, i have just recentl found my oldest son. When he contacted me by phone, he was so excited that we found each other. He said he had even been thinking of going on the Montel Williams show to find me. He told me all about his family, he had a wonderful child hood, and has 4 children. He told me he would call me back in a couple of days. The next day i recieved an email, he ask for my address so he could send pictures of himself and the children. I emailed him back using reply, and i didnt hear back, i tried to email him again and it came back. It has been 2 weeks, and i have heard nothing more. His email it appears no longer exist. I know i just have to wait, but its really hard not knowing, does anyone have any advice. Thank you Pat G

Talking

Pat,

Email is so unpredictable. It could have been anything. If it was a work email, they could have changed something…which would make the old email undeliverable. If it was a “free webmail” type thing, his account could have expired…most do after thirty days of non-use…or if the quota is exceeded.

I am sure there is a perfectly reasonable explanation for the return of the email…but if you’re anything like me, you’re thinking the worst possible scenario.

Do you happen to have his address?

If you do, maybe you could just send him a card…something to just say, “Thinking of you”…it might light a fire under him to get the pictures he said he was going to send you, in the mail.

Just keep thinking positive thoughts…everything will be fine!

Daisie.. I bet the pictures will come and there will be no problem what so ever.

Patience is so hard .. I know..

And stay out of the negative thinking.. I have to tell myself that all the time.

Besides if he has 4 children time is a quite valuable commodity and many events could have take control of his time. Not the least of which is Thanksgiving holiday!

Give it time and during your time check out some of the forums where there is much valuable information about reunions. You will need much to help you through this most exciting time. There are so many things to come and being prepared is PRICELESS!

May you journey be blessed!

He may have hit an emotional road block..
He may have told his aparents and is into some heavy emotions..

What is happening to you happened to me..
I sent a gift and got no email reply.. A month later there was a card in the mail saying thankyou..

I soon got off of the emotional rollarcoaster I was on.
I had to take care of me..

Now I just think.. I do not know what he is thinking or doing so I will not worry and wonder..
He is fine.. His life is good and all the rest is gravy..
