My Life - an absolutely incredible update!

Tweet

A very long time ago.. well over 65 pages of posts that I've responded to and I still cant find it.. I responded to a discussion about the hardest decision I've ever had to make. I really tried to find the post so I could link it here so that instead of starting all over again you could just go there.. read the background.. then come back and read this update.. but like I said.. I just went through 65 pages of responses I've made and have yet to find it. I gotta get my kids lunch together and to the school soon so it's time I gave up and just did this update.. So here it is... a few years ago I had to decide to sign the adoption papers for my oldest daughter. She was residing with her father but he lost her (and her sister) to children's services. I tried to fight for her but things didn't go that way and in the long run I decided to do what was best for her. Anyways.. of course I've never forgotten or stopped loving her. She'll be 13 this summer. She contacted me!! I got a recent picture of her!! She grew up more beautiful than I imagined. I've recently spoken to the foster mother of the house she stays at and her councellor phoned me the other day. The believe that my daughter will benefit greatly by getting to know her birth family and so they are allowing me and my children to have open contact. Yesterday I put in the mail a package.. a scrapbooked card/letter/book with recent pictures, postcards of where I live and I had each of the kids write a letter to her that I glued in it. With that I sent a beautiful beaded pink rose that a friend of mine makes. I'm so excited. This is the first contact I've actually had with HER in almost 10 years. I'm on pins and needles waiting for a response.
