Ok so I wanted to write a big huge blog about this but I haven't yet (although I've been writing a bunch of messy notes to try to catalogue this moment as best I can) but I just HAVE to get the news out there.
So, yesterday, at 6:04 pm, I got a phone call from my search consultant. I was at dinner with a friend in a loud restaurant and ran outside so I could hear the call.
She said she had just got back in town from a trip and had several messages on her machine - one of which was from my birth father, Steven. He received her letter, which, I believe also included my letter & photo, and is really excited to speak with me. We are possibly going to talk on Saturday.
Oh my god, it's actually happening.
Oh my god.
Don't ask me how I feel, because I really don't know!
FYI, the reason we haven't heard from the mom yet is that my search lady doesn't have her correct address yet. So she hasn't yet received a copy of the letter.
Anyway, nothing poetic to say today, just had to share!

HOLY CRIZZAP!!!!! How exciting!!!!
WOW! :)
Wow! Omg. What are you gonna say? Hi, how are you? So like... what are you like? Maybe we should like... hang out... Dad? Do I call you Dad? Maybe I should just call you Steven. Oh man, I need a drink. Not that I'm an alcoholic. My parents did a good job raising me. So it's good you gave me up for adoption. But... um... yeah.
That's FANTASTIC! Keep us updated!
Daniel, Kate, and Mike - thanks! I am really excited!
Shelley -
