Hi Chris!
I apologize for the delay in acknowledging receipt of your info. I actually received it within 10 minutes of your having sent it on Tuesday morning. It was certainly the most exciting e-mail I have ever received, and it was a very exciting day. My mother and two sisters and I were on the phone several times that day sharing the information with each other. That afternoon I made the big call to this long lost sibling. Of course she was in shock. It is hard to put into words the emotions of that day. Her adoptive mother happened to be on her back porch at the time. This adoptee half sister finally asked if she could call me back--she had to go talk to her mother. We talked again that evening. We exchanged e-mail addresses, she got my home address, and we plan to exchange pictures, etc. I think we are all in shock. We look forward to actually meeting her at some point. She did know that she was adopted. She had always wondered WHY?, but she had never tried to find any biologic relatives. She said that she has had a wonderful life and that a better adoptive family could not have been picked for her. It was comforting to hear all that.
Chris, thank you so much for finding her! I am very intrigued and fascinated by your whole search process. I was pleased with the amount of information that I received. She couldn't believe the amount of information that I had on her.
I'm sorry that I keep missing your calls, but I keep being at work on the days that you call. Fortunately, I was off on Tuesday when I received the exciting e-mail from you. I'm on my way to work again today, but I will be off tomorrow (Friday). I don't have any particular questions but we can certainly talk. I better run. Thank you so much!!!!!

Hi Chris!!!!!
This is totally amazing!!!!! I am back in the emotional whirlwind of pure joy!!! I have just returned from my birthparents home and had the most amazing four days with my birth family. I'll try to start at the beginning.
On Sept 1. I received a letter from my brother stating that he had gotten a letter a few weeks prior. He thought it could be a hoax, but knew that it must be true that he had a sister, me, that was searching for her birthfamily. He spoke with his mother and siblings and after our mother confirmed it, he wrote me a letter. (The odd thing is that I don't know the person who wrote the letter, nor does he.
The letter I received from my brother was simply the best saying that he would like to get to know me. He gave me his number to call him if I wanted to know him. Of course I called immediately and for the next 8 hours, I was on the phone with both brothers, my parents, my sister and my niece. AMAZING!!!!! We planned to get together Oct. 3. I thought that day would never come. We got there and everyone was so excited. I have never felt so loved. This family is wonderful...my family. The biggest surprise is that I didn't know that they had told my aunts and cousins, so when we get there, my sister asks me if I would like to meet the rest of the family that they had planned a get together for Sat. At first I was hestitate...not outwardly, but inside. So much, so fast, but I quickly realized this would be great. Yesterday, I met my aunts and some cousins and they were absolutely wonderful. Excited is an understatement. They all seem to want to get to know me and are planning another get together with the whole family. This is a big family and it feels good.
My mother is a totally different person now that I am not a secret. She is amazing..she is very happy about all this and she is feeling better physically. My father is happy as well and they both welcomed me home. Thursday was the first time I have ever been to their home. So much, so fast...I am in the clouds again.
Thank you...thank you...thank you! I never dreamed it would be this great! Amazing Grace...how sweet.
