Yep, I just mailed off my second letter this morning. Even though I purposely have my expectations set VERY low, please keep your fingers crossed that I get a positive reply. Thanks!

Kim:

I sent my first donor family letter in July. It was very emotional for me to write, but I did it! :-)

I pray that you get an answer from your donor family. After all these years, I am sure that you would like to know more about your donor.

God Bless!
