He wrote me - he wrote me - YAY!!!!!
After 4 long months since we first met; after 18 years of not having contact prior to that, my son wrote me an e-mail. I am sooooo happy.
I sent him an e-mail about a month ago. Nothing. I have sent him a few light-hearted, short e-mails since we talked 4 months ago. Then, I sent him one Wednesday. Just a few lines, told him I'd been thinking about him. HE RESPONDED!!!!!   He said he was not really comfortable writing before that; told me he had told his parents we met; and told me some random stuff about his life. I am sooo happy!!!!!! Now, I don't know what is the appropriate time to wait to respond. I don't want to overwhelm him. I am just so dang happy!!!!!

Thanks for all the support guys.
I guess, Betty, I don't know what I want to tell him. I just usually tell him random, upbeat stuff. His bio-dad moved back here a week or so ago. He wants me to tell him he is here. I don't really want tell him that yet. I'll probably just tell him happy stuff. He has my lengthy letter, and I don't feel like I should ask him if he has any questions. I guess I'll feel like we have reached a milestone when he starts initiating communication. Thanks again!!!

I'm so happy for you! Reunion is the best! Hang in there, he is young and probably has a million emotions all at once that he doesn't know what to do with. My suggestion is to keep sending short, light heated emails and rejoice whenever you get a reply. He'll come around.
