Dear Chris,
It has been a while (8 years) since we last spoke, but I just wanted to take a few minutes to let you know once again how much I appreciated the work you and your top notch crew did for me. Although my birth mother had passed away once located, it was still comforting to know who she was and to meet her brother and sister. We still maintain contact,although things have cooled down a bit over the years.
My birth father (whose name and address you provided) had no interest in meeting me upon initial contact and over the course of the last eight years nothing has changed. He has even moved and did not provide me with a forwarding address, I guess there is a hidden message in there somewhere. I haven't bothered to attempt to contact him at his new address and have reconciled with myself to just let him go.
Thanks again,

Chris,
Thanks so much! I didn't expect to hear from you given the fact that you were in hurricane territory and figured that your return home might be delayed. I appreciate your efforts to inform me so quickly.
I am not planning to make contact right now, I need to do some more reading on the subject and get my thoughts and emotions together before doing anything. I am emotionally not ready to go to the next step. But I can tell you, I feel like the weight of the world is off of my shoulders and I can begin the move on and into another phase of my life. You have been such a blessing, thank you for everything, you did just what you said you would, and these days that is not commonplace. May God Bless you for the relief and joy that you bring others through your work.
With Sincerest Gratitude,

Dear Chris,
I’m writing to give you an update on Tim’s contact with his Birth family. He will be meeting his birthmother and family on 13 Aug 05. He is really excited about this reunion and is like a little kid at a candy store. I can’t Thank you enough for the joy you have brought to him and the closure he only was able to dream about. Of course this took a little work but the final result is positive.
After Tim made that initial call to his birthmother she told him that she wanted to leave it in the past. It was not known to us until later that the only one that knew of Tim’s birth was her two brothers. After their very brief call on the phone Tim wanted to speak to his brother Harry. I told him that I could find the number which I did that night. I called the operator and there was only two Harry’s listed, Sr. and a Jr. I gave the number to Tim and he made the call that changed everything. At first Harry was skeptical and shocked, of course. However, after Harry Jr. confronted his mother it was downhill from there. Tim also spoke to his uncle Bill and he was taken aback along with his ex-wife Nancy. They are both excited for Tim and for seeking them. Deloris was not happy that Tim contacted the family but she is not angry. Little did she know that you gave him the key’s to unlock a past that needed awakening. Since then, Harry and Tim have stayed in contact and talking for many long hours. Deloris did meet with her children and never denied Tim and gave them an explanation of her past.
Just yesterday Deloris called Tim after that initial call he made. They talked for hours and she is ready to meet him in August. Pictures have been exchanged and family history.
The only thing she is holding back on is the name of Tim’s Birthfather. She says she does not remember. We find that hard to believe but maybe with time she will let him know.
Again, Chris and Scott, Thank-you for putting closure to Tim’s life. You gave him a new life that he could only dream of.
Tim looks like his mother….very much. I’ll give you an update after the reunion. I can’t wait for him to go and call me back on how his first day went.
May God Bless you and may you continue to bring new life to all those that seek a positive outcome on their search for the Birthmothers and other family.
Always Grateful,
DT/PA |
