Anna-Barbara

Morning Tweet : Having things turn surreal on me is not something new: please welcome my daughter Anna-Barbara after 26 yrs back into it. I am so thrilled.

On June 1st I received a letter from Switzerland, by seeing the logo alone on the envelope I instantly knew where it was coming from and my heart began to beat fast.

Indeed, it was from the Swiss Adoption Center. I am so glad that I had updated my info with the center when we moved to Kansas! The letter was written somewhat unclear, did she or did she not want contact? First step was to give my okay to relay my information to her (shesh, I thought they had that on file!). Of course I instantly emailed them back. When I did not hear back yesterday I already begun worrying – maybe she found my online blog and now no longer wants to talk to me? I did well though in letting these thoughts drift away and was able to concentrate on work… for the most of the day.

This morning I had an email response. The lady was astonished how fast the letter had arrived by me and happy to hear how open I am, and she said this will make my daughter very very happy to hear. So far contact has been only between them and me, but now she can contact me directly (and the big wait for it begins :-).
