My birth daughter is 29 today and she finally contacted me thru this site on monday of this week wanting information. I wrote back twice I was soooooooooooooo HAPPY! But I haven't heard a word back from her. I have had my info everywhere since she was eighteen so she could easily find me and I found out her info has been here since last year.
I hate that I never knew that.
But I don't know what to do now. I want this to be a very easy meeting for her. I have expressed to her that her needs come first at great length and still no word back.
I was on cloud nine when she emailed me and now I don't know what to think.
Has anyone had this happen to them? Any ideas?
Thank you so much!

Hang in there angel.

As an adult adoptee, I can tell you, when the reality of our first mother actually hits us, it can be an overwhelming emotional experience. Depending on how your daughter processes her emotions, she may need time to allow this to settle.

Depending on how her parents handled her adoption, the idea of her first mom may be very abstract. Your reality, even though an email is overwhelming.

I don't not know her specific situation, but I want to throw that out there as a rational for her delay in contacting you back.

She reached out to you and she will reach out again. Be patient even though it is hard.

Be patient, she is likely going through a lot of stuff just like you.

Patience patience patience..

If negative thoughts come to your mind send them packing.. Be honest and be open..

When someone is searching I always take the time to give links to search sites.. I think of woman like you and your birthdaughter and that a connection may be made..

Wonderful news..
