Still shaky
Wow, I just had my first telephone contact with bson!
He'd been hesitant about it, but then sent me a quick message a while ago saying 'it's ok to call me in about 30 minutes.' My first thought was panic, what if something was wrong? But no, I guess he was just ready. And when we hung up (only 10 minutes, but that's quite ok!) he said it was ok to call him on Thursday as well.  Just when I thought I was handling the ups of the roller coaster ok...

I started by registering my information a little over a year ago, then after a few months I became a little more proactive in my search (first I'd thought let him find me, you know). I ended up using the social services agency that I placed him in. I figured they weren't going to rip me off, plus they already had his adopted name etc! Anyway, she found him fairly quickly, got a first response of 'he doesn't know if he wants contact at this time, he's starting his semester at college etc etc.' Anyway, after Christmas was over and knowing I was going to go to the USA in May (I live in Sweden now), I said 'can't we try again?' this time she got him (turns out it was amom who had stopped contact the first time) and that he DID want to find me, he IS interested in contact, and I've been flying ever since. February 26th was the first contact. Phew. Talk about long stories short!

I didn't say anything about forgetting
 I'd be counting down the minutes and seconds until I can call back!! LOL!! Do you have note cards so you don't forget what to ask and say? I'd be so excited I would probably forget my name!! LOL!! What was it like hearing his voice? Did you hear him laugh? This is so exciting!!!!

I guess I haven't updated because Thursday became kind of a bummer for me...
He did answer the phone but is in the midst of moving and it sounded like right at that moment was bad. It also was apparent he'd forgotten that he'd told me to call then. So I got a 'I'll send you an email of when you can call again, when my internet is working'. Nothing yet! I'm hanging in there, but it's frustrating. I leave for the states in less than 10 days and we haven't solidified our meeting plans. ARgh! But there is time and it's not like I'll be unreachable in the states. So here's me trying to keep a brave face!

Congratulations
Quantum how wonderful for you! I do know how you feel! This week my family gave me permission to eat, sleep and breathe my birthdaughter! Not that they have to give me permission but when I was a little "off" this week they understood....
I am so happy for you!! Good luck and God Bless!

Unfortunately, if it were easy breezy - they wouldn't call it a roller coaster. Keep positive thoughts. It will work out ok, and you'll be looking in his beautiful eyes before long. Best of luck!!!!
