Yesterday, my married daughter texted and said she had contacted her bio dad. We found him last year, but we decided the emotions of meeting bio mom's family was enough then. We were gonna try after the new year, then life threw the emotional curve balls. lol
As my dear daughter and our relationship heals, she is being honest and open with me. This is huge in itself. She had already told her sister she talked with him, and that daughter told me, but didn't ask to talk with him.
so.............I got his number and called first.
he cried
I cried.
He was 15, mom 14, when my son(their brother)(he is not the dad) was born, he actually thought it was his baby at the time. He held him first. He wanted his name on birth certificate, but they said no. My twins are 11 months younger than their older brother. But he has NEVER ever seen them, as bio mom took off and never contacted him. When she lost custody, she named him as father. The state contacted him and he was told he could have the girls and he asked for my son too. We didn't have the kids yet. OUR state totally messed it up and he was denied rights. He was newly married, and his wife and him had prepared themselves for 3 new kids.
They had a daughter a few years later and they named her Abigail...my daughters name too!
It went so good, my daughter talked with him for about an hour, and her 1/2 sister too. They just giggled both Abigails.
I have been sending him 100s of photos (scrapbook mom's have every moment), and he is so grateful, and they are planning to come visit next winter!
My husband has been seriously praying for our family to be reconciliation and together before Christmas...and this was beyond our expectations!
Just wanted to share with the "invisible" people I care about so much! YOU all have been a joy to my heart and life and well, thank you for making me smile and know I am loved!
