Great phone call with birthmom

Just wanted to share that we had our second phone call with our son's birthmom and it went so well. We have also exchanged letters. We were able to locate birthmom a few months ago. Today, our 5 year old son got to speak with his birthmom and his 2 1/2 year old sister for the first time. The translator we used did an awesome job. We are really starting to form a connection with the family. I'm planning to send them some clothes/toys soon along with more pictures. It has been such a wonderful experience for both families and it has meant so much to our son.
