my sister – lovely sound to it…

May 9, 2006 By Michele Leave a Comment

I’ve been worrying about my sister and my relationship with her.

Mainly – my fear was that she would get all the information about her mother’s side of the family (medical mental etc), and then just disappear.

I sent a letter to her (mailed yesterday) that tells her what I want. I’m simply better writing it down that actually getting words to spit out of my mouth coherently. I told her that I do want a relationship with her. I want to be sisters to the extent that we can after such a separation. With pictures.

I got an email from her last night. She hadn’t received or even known about the letter. She thanked me for contacting her, because for the first time, as a parent, she has peace. She’s not doomed to follow in Jeannette’s footsteps because she actually loves her children. And she said that as far as now what? She said let’s go with the flow and see what happens. So, since I had a fear of rejection (hmmmmmmm wonder where that came from) this is very assuring to me.

It was a really lovely email. From my sister. I just love saying that.

i did it…

I did it. I wrote my little sister, and little brother, and potential father at all the addresses found for all of them. We’ll see if they answer. But I did it, I wrote them.

fear…

I’ve come up on a block. I don’t knwo what the problem is. Through my searching and several search angels, I’ve come upon some good address contact info for my two younger siblings, and possibly even the older sister.

I haven’t written them.

I’m scared. I feel like I’m going into a panic attack. I’m trying to calm myself down because I don’t HAVE to write them. Only if I want to. But I DO want to. So why aren’t I?

I know some of the reasons on my older sister. I don’t know the legalities, since I didn’t get the information through whatever agency. I don’t even know if she knows she was adopted. I don’t want to cause problems there.

As for the younger two… Sheer fear of rejection. I’m scared.

I’m scared.

progress…

I’ve been making progress in my searching. I think I may have valid address for my younger siblings. They just feel right. They might not be current however. I’m going to write them anyway and see.

I’m also going to be filing for the NID of my older sister, as well as filing a waiver in her adoption file.

The waiver will take me a little while – I have to find a notary, and the time to take it to the notary. – Not to mention the notary’s fee.

This is all good news though – Progress!

Check this out… If you look at the pictures, to me it’s just sick. Talk about stupid privilege. I mean come on… A golden buggy with chandelier? I know it’s meant to be funny, but still.

tidbits…

I think I may have had a breakthrough with Joseph this morning. I’m not going to get into the specifics right now, I’m too raw from it to rehash it, but suffice it to say he actually showed emotions about someone else. Real emotions, and remorse. And then proceeded to offer comfort, even though those emotions made him cry. This is such a big deal.

In other Joseph news, we’re moving on to psychological testing. Which is going to take a while – so long a while that any actions we take will probably be in the next school year, but as long there are answers, I’m okay with taking it slower with him.
