The phoned call I've waited 22 years for...

Friday, March 30th:

For 22 years I've hoped and prayed for some answers. For 22 years years I've longed to know that my daughter was alive. Those prayers came true on my Daddy's birthday, March 30th. After just a week of having my consent to search forms, GARR (Georgia Adoption Reunion Registry) called me to tell me that they had located my daughter.  I can't even begin to explain what that phone call meant to me! After 22 years of my wondering, worrying, hoping and my heart breaking, one phone call changed it all!She is alive!! My beautiful daughter is healthy, happy and she wants to get to know me!! Words just aren't adequate enough to describe how I feel! I didn't ever really understand the burden and guilt I have carried in my heart all these years until I hung up that phone call. I wept with joy for the knowledge I was just given. I wept with sadness for all the years that I've lost and I wept with hope for the future.
