My daughter was given into adoption against my will 13 years ago by her mother who was an addict and working with an adoption agency and Utah. It was a closed adoption but the adoptive parents gave me the same deal they gave her which was to send pictures and updates. The whole time I sent birthday cards and money, updates on what I was doing with my life, and begging them to let me be part of her life as I never wanted to give her up. In fact they had to do the adoption Utah because I registered with the father's adoption registry in Minnesota. After years of begging and pleading and finally writing them a very pointed letter explaining how bad of a thing that they did and asking them what they thought my daughter was going to think when I told her, they finally decided that they would open the adoption. That was about two and a half years ago, and mutual agreement we knew that it had to be driven by her at this point. Well she has wrote me a letter and asked me if I would ever want to meet her. As you can imagine I broke down in tears bawling like a baby and I wrote her back saying of course I would. Long story short tomorrow I have my first live conversation with her on the phone. I'm scared and I'm elated at the same time. I want to make sure that I do this right, and I don't even really know what to say. I know I'm going to start bawling, I'm a very emotional person. I have so much love for her. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
