Dear Kinsolving,
I don’t know how to thank you. Words seem so inadequate. If it weren't for you and your team of investigators my search for my birth family would never have come to an end.
I sent a letter to my birth mother because I was too afraid to make that telephone call. A week later a response came. She is delighted that I have found her! She told me about her life and about my half sibling. She told me that giving me up was the most painful thing she ever had to do.
We are planning to meet in the near future, as soon as we can all arrange our work schedules and get some time off.
I will send you an update soon. Again, thank you for all that you do to help so many. If you ever need a reference, please feel free to use my name. I will forever be grateful.
With appreciation,
S.

Dear Kinsolving,
Thank You! You have helped to open many doors for me and future generations. I am so grateful to your agency. Your time and effort are so appreciated. My words and thoughts are hard to even get on paper right now. It is a time of mixed emotions but absolutely no regret in whatever the outcome. I have been waiting a long time for this day and at 32, it is the right time. I will handle this incredible experience with love and grace. My gratitude is overwhelming.
With much love,

Dear Kinsolving:
I'm writing to let you know the outcome of the four year saga of my search for my 32 year old son, to let you all know that he and his fiancee were here in Oakland last weekend for our first face to face visit, which went very well. Very, very well, in fact.
He was very sweet and open to me, and physically affectionate, which was great. His fiancee was with him, sort of to give him support and check me out, and we hit it off very well. She is 25, finishing a PhD in psychology at U. of Iowa her brother and her aunt live in the Bay Area, and I think her aunt is some friends of mine's lawyer. Small world. After a couple of days, they evidently decided it was a good fit, and they invited me to attend their wedding in June, which I plan to do. They may move to the West Coast in next year or so, and they plan on having a baby not too long after.
Rebecca told me that she had been wary and protective of him at first, but sees that there is no reason to be, and that this is about the best it could possibly be for both of us. Michael was somewhat low key, probably because of being pretty nervous himself. He looks like me in some ways, and told me he feels a connection to me he never felt to his mother, even though he loved her tremendously. I really want him to love me, too, as things unfold.
We were all very friendly, laughed a lot, and enjoyed the visit. My heart is very full right now I feel like I've received a huge gift, and just need to accept it and be grateful. I know this relationship is just starting, but I'm very happy to be at this place right now, and want to thank each of you for your support and friendship along the way.
Best,
L.

Dear Kinsolving,
Just a short note to let you know that I contacted my birth mother the day after I received the information from you. She was shocked after all these years to hear from me but she was absolutely delighted that I had found her and contacted her.
I will bring you up to date on the progress of our relationship as it develops. We are planning to meet face to face in just a few weeks.
I will be forever grateful for the gift you have given me.
