Hi Chris-just a line to let you know that I have spoken to 2 of my 3 new sisters. They are getting ready to mail me pictures of my mother and of them, and I plan to go and visit soon. My friend originally called one of them for me (as I couldn't wait to write a letter). She spoke to Pam who was shocked as they never knew about me at all. After 15 minutes, Karen called me back and I told her all the info I had. She asked that I mail her copies of my documents and I also mailed her pictures of myself. A week later Susan called me and we spoke twice since. They are getting used to the idea that they have another sister. I look forward to the pictures of my mother (who I learned had multiple sclerosis for 30 years) and to meeting my new sisters. I want to thank you again for your wonderful help and fast service. My life will never be the same. I will let you know how the reunion goes. Take care...Regards,

Hi Chris,
I want to thank you again for finding my husband birth family.
I just wanted to give you an update.
After your counseling session, we had one of those complete - bar nothing- heart to heart talks. He understands my feelings, and I think I understand his much better.
He has agreed to make contact with his b-mother, but says he needs some time. He has always been true to his word. I will give him whatever time he needs to internalize his thoughts.
I have all the notes from the wonderful tips you gave us for making the first call. We have started to complile the two lists as you suggested.
I am hoping and praying that everything goes well when the time comes.
I will let you know what happens! I want to thank you for the professional way you handled things.
Sincerely,

To all of you at Kinsolving:
I thought I would let you know that my contact with my daughter went great. She was just as happy and pleased as I. There is no doubt she is mine as we share so many things in common.
Thank you so much for doing such a fabulous job not only in locating her but giving me all the details on her and her family.
We are planning a reunion within a few weeks and I will get back to you with details.
THANKS AGAIN-I AM TELLING EVERYONE ABOUT KINSOLVING!

Hi Chris,
Well I made the call Sunday morning! She answered and I asked to speak to my birthmother. I think she was speaking. I really can't remember. I went on to say my name and where I was calling from. Dead silence and then she said what is this call about. Oh no. I didn't like the sound of that. I told her my birthdate and where I was born and I said I think you know who I am. She said yes I do. Phew.
Immediately she wanted to know how I found her.I did what you said. She said that this is something she would have never instigated. Didn't like that either but I I know she was in shock.
The first 15 minutes were tough and then we just started asking each other questions. She asked just as many as I did. She seemed to relax. We have many similarities. We laughed at some things. To be honest I needed it to end as I was exhausted. I asked her if she would send me a picture and she said yes. I told her I would send her one as well. We exchanged addressed even though I had hers I pretended I didn't. So all in all I feel it went really well. I am sure she is still reeling from this as I am.
Thanks a million.
