Chris, I just wanted to let you know I was thinking about you on the 2nd anniversary of my reunion with my birthmother. Since you were such a major part of it, I want to say "thank you" again.
I hope all is going well for you. I've told every adoptee I know, in person or on the Internet, about Kinsolving and how you were successful in my search after I had spent 20 years searching with no results.
Take care, and best wishes,

Chris, Thank You.
Hopefully I can come up with the right words, so that people who come to you for help will know the passion and energy that you put in your work is truly from your heart. Here is an e-mail I got last night from my mother. You have truly made a difference in this world and in my life. Thank You!!!!!!
You sure are good-looking and those grandsons of mine , just by seeing them I feel a real closeness as I do with you. I can't believe all that has happened in the last 24 hours. My head seems to be spinning out of control and I feel at times like I'm in the twilight-zone! The magnitude of your phone call can only be compared to your persistence and dedication to find me , which I will forever, be in gratitude to you for doing so. Don't worry about me telling the boys, it will be alright. As of now I'm considering getting them all together to tell them, possibly this Sat. I will let you know straight
-away. I couldn't,t rest easy tonight until I heard from you and now I feel much better. I guess I should wait till about 7pm to e-mail you at home? Well believe me I didn't sleep a-wink hardly last night so Mother is ready to hit the pillow. Take care and try to rest well, especially in knowing I'm here for you and that means forever. I Love You , Baby. Talk to you tomorrow, for sure..

Hi Chris,
I want to let you know that I talked with my birth mother for the first time last Monday. I was very prepared for the call. I had rehearsed many times based on the advice you gave me on how to approach her. I was prepared for her to hang up, deny it, or be totally silent, but I had not prepared myself for her to be happy. I guess that would have been too risky for me emotionally. Hearing from me was the answer to her prayers. We have talked three times now, and I sent her a picture of me yesterday.
She wants to see me, if that is what I want, and she wants to tell her three children. I know it will be hard for her, but she says they have a right to know that they have a sister.
So far I like her, and it has been a real blessing to me to learn how much she did to be near me. She took care of me for the 6 weeks and then instead of going home, she went to Greensboro, found a job and a room to live in, and went to the CHS every day to see me until I was gone. She tried to find out about me at the courthouse in Richmond and has called the CHS several times to ask if she could find me.
I was not looking for a mother, I had a mother; but I found more than I was expecting. I do not know where this journey will lead us, but I have already gained something very satisfying and have been able to give her the gift of knowing that I am well and happy.

Dear Chris,
I just wanted to let you know that I made contact with my son and met him last night for dinner for the first time in 35 years! He looks just like me.
After so many years of searching for him on my own, you have made the impossible happen in a few short weeks.
Please accept my deep thanks for your great work and for performing a human miracle.
Chris, you are, indeed, an angel from heaven.

Chris - I wanted to let you know I made contact with C, my birth mother and we have been exchanging e-mails for a few days now. She has pretty much confirmed everything you told me and she seems willing to continue sharing info. Thank you for your work. Please feel free to use me as a reference in the future. I have already told a girl friend about my experience with your company and I feel sure she will be calling you.
Sincerely,
TM/NC |
