This is the beginning of my journey of search and rescue. I was watching a silly show on A&E called The Locator. I haven't thought of searching for my birthmom since my last let down a few years ago. So, as crazy as it sounds, I jumped on-line and looked up a company that searches, filled out the questionnaire and within an hour the company called me back. Well, less than 24 hours later…..I have a name, a phone number, brothers and sisters and a whole big can of worms just waiting to be opened. I am SOOO nervous.
So how does it work from here?
Well, the company I hired specializes in reunion and actually mediates the first contact. I am really thankful for that. I mean, what would I say on a cold call? Hello, mam…..This is your long lost daughter……surprise! Go ahead and pick your jaw up off of the floor now.
HA! It's funny, I have written so many letters to her in the past and have thought endlessly about what to say and now that I am down to the wire……I'm speechless. I'm actually scared. Is this a good idea? What if it isn't the right time in her life to meet me? What if her other children don't know about me? What if I say something wrong? What if she says she doesn't want to talk to me? These are all questions that I suppose will be answered sooner or later.
Until next time…..
