Dear Kinsolving,
We are well and hope you are the same. I saw a friend tonight and she told me tomorrow she will be getting the information on her brother form you. That's great. SO my dear, your miracles continue. Larry from NY is coming your way soon. He may have contacted you ny e-mail by now. I have a substantial file on his case and will be happy to froward what i have if you need it.
My sister and I think of you often and we thank God for you! Everyone of our days is a miracle. I have written a book about our mother. We called it, "Justice for Joanne." My sister and I finding each other in this great big world is the justice she deserved. I will be sending you my manuscript soon. Wherever, our mother, Joanne, is now, somewhere in the heavens, I hope she knows that two little girls separated by adoption are together as it should have been in the beginning. My sister gave me a tiny little tea set for Christmas. So special only about 45 years late but better late than never, right. Hope you are well and happy in the New Year!
Love, J., CA |
Dear Kinsolving,
You told me my biological sister's last name and I got in touch with her tonight. I have attached her picture. I am still looking for the other sister, but got some addresses and am going from there.
I can never repay you for what you have given me and my sisters and brother. God bless you!
Sincerely,
T., NJ |
Dear Kinsolving,
Unfortunately, there was no reunion but I know that your organization could have not done anything more to help my situation.
I made my first call to my daughter Maryann about a week after you notified me that my daughter was found. I introduced myself and informed her of the nature of the call. She responded with, "where have you been for almost 40 years?" I explained the situation to her which she did not accept and made the following comment: "I'm not at all interested and the only person I recognize as my father is the person who raised me." I told her I agreed with that and went on to say that I was not trying to take away anything from the person she knew as her father. She said she was treated very well by her adopted parents and was told by them many years ago that she was an adopted child. This made it a little easier for me to communicate. Maryann seemed to be curious about what I had to say. I went on to explain to her how it was and answered whatever questions she asked. I thought for the most part we had a productive conversation that lasted more than an hour with me, naturally oding most of the talking. She mentioned that she wasn't feeling well so I asked her to take my phone number and address. I also told her I would not call again unless she wanted me to. She never responded to what I said. I let her know it would be nice to hear from her and she can call me in the future if she wanted. Again, no response was given. So with that I felt it was time to end the conversation.
As the days went on and I was thinking more about Maryann and our first conversation, I began to weaken and wanted to call her very much, so I did and nobody answered the phone. Her answer machine kicked on and I left her a message to call me, which she did about a half hour later. I really appreciated her returning my call and let her know that, however, I noticed she seemed more distant than before. We talked for just a few seconds and she asked me to stay on the line because she had another call and then I was disconnected. Within seconds my phone rang and it was the Chief of Police. At first, he started off getting tough, making all sorts of threats and unsupported accusations about me. I then let him know the purpose of my calling Maryann. He went on to say Maryann and he had worked together for some time and she had taken him into her confidence. He said she came from a good family and was going through a bad time right now. He pointed out that Maryann had been released from the hospital just a few days before my first call to her, which I did not know. He mentioned again not to call her and that maybe later on when she's up and around and feeling better he would talk to her about me and perhaps she might then feel up to talking with me. I assured him that I would not call her again, and that she had my phone number and the next move was up to her.
I never called Maryann again and she has not called me. I feel bad that our relationship never got off the ground. It could have developed into something beautiful. I would like to know more about her life, opportunity to meet her and see who she looks like.
I want her to know that I feel so much better than before knowing what I know now. Imagine after all the years I spent searching, almost 40 years of not knowing about my daughter Maryann. Thanks to you and your team for helping me know who Maryann is, how and where she was raised and the type of life she had. You have helped me put my mind at ease. So thank you again for everything. I could never have known about Maryann without the help of Kinsolving Investigations. On that note, I'll say goodbye and wish your organization well. Keep up the good work. It is a real blessing having someone like you who care about others. My the good Lord always look over you.
With best wishes and kind personal regards, I remain,
A., OH |
