I recently recieved an email from my bio-daughter. I emailed her back, then she emailed me, I emailed her and now I wait. It's only been less than 24 hours, but I am hanging around the computer like a love-sick puppy dog.

I just wanted to thank all who post here on this web site. I would have no idea this is normal, and at the same time nothing is normal.

She's not sure if she can handle being in contact with me. I emailed her that I am allowing her to decide how much and when with contact. I told her that if she needed to pull back would she tell me, so I don't wonder.

She is only 18 and I am sure busy with her life and getting ready to go to college, so I will respect her wishes.

I just mope around and wait, and wait. I will get over this, right??

At the same time I am so happy to have had contact. She is the prettiest 18 year old on the planet, and I am so proud to have been a part of her life.

Anyway, thanks for all who post, so we know what to expect.

Blessings,
Lynelle

I wish I know how to im. Did your daughter look for you, or did you look for her? My daughter found me by accident. She googled her name and found her info on a registry I joined. She is still in shock I think. She never planned on finding me, but said she thought of me often.

Anyway, tell me about your reunion, and how to im!!!
Blessings,

my daughter and i look a lot alike -- it's strange to see a copy of yourself 17 years younger...

i bet your daughter is still in shock. i found my bdaughter on facebook and it took me months to contact her family, as i was so scared...and as soon as i called them, they came 7 days later to meet me in person. you are probably in shock too....i know i still am a little. its a beautiful yet scary process, to meet your bchild. you should try to get as much support as possible, and keep posting here. seriously, it has helped me soooooo much.

you can im (instant mail) someone by clicking on their photo at the top left of their post, which will take you to their perosnal page. on the left side of page there will be options to send an im, email, chat, etc....also on my page i have a few pic of my bdaughter and i and her family, so you can see the likeness for yourself if you like

if you have problems just repost here and i'll help you figure out how to do it...

best,
vj

18 is so very young to be put in this situation. I am glad you found her and I hope it works out for you two together. Get ready for all the highs and lows that a reunion brings. All the uncertainties that 18 years seperated can bring. It shall be like nothing else you have ever dreamed of, rest assured. Let us know how it keeps going okay, and best of luck to you too.

I totally agree with Jackie take it very slowly. I know you are probably sent on edge everytime you hear this but it is true...she is only 18...she is still very young. Believe me when I say I understand this very well now!!!

I wouldnt listen before my reunion went south, I wish I had. You can read my stories they are floating around here.

Just love her and give her a very wide berth, the waiting is hard but in the end it will be best for you both. Good luck and congratulations
