Don't get your hopes up, Freebird. According to unnamed sources, there may be proof that she has opened (read?) my messages, and seems to have chosen not to respond. If so, I don't know what would be gained by having a P.I. find her and ask her for me.

Not saying I'm giving up. But, I am discouraged.

She has been contacted by someone on my behalf, and so far, no movement. Time to back off and wait, I guess.

Thank you all for your support.

 

Maybe, and I appreciate your concern, but... you will go on with YOUR life as it was ordained. As well you should.

I will deal with mine.

When I started this thread, I didn't expect a happy ending. But, I didn't espect the worst, either.

I fear the worst... but, I will never forget the support all of you have given me.

And that DOES make a difference.

 

I guess when I started this thread, I was looking for support and absolution for my sins as a father. I got both.

I was looking for advice and help with facebook. I got that, too.

Maybe, I even needed encouragement and a mandate to DO something. Y'all didn't fail me.

But, not all threads in this forum have a happy ending. Most concern problems far more dire than mine. My problem pales in comparison to most.

I have not lost anything not already lost. I have gained much by your responses... though not the prize I sought.

My life resumes as it was. But, I now know that she KNOWS. That is all I really ever wanted. Seeing her pictures is a bonus that I will cherish.

Not saying that I have given up, but... I don't expect to have anymore updates for you.

Some mountains are just too high to climb.

Some things are just not meant to be.

Thanks again for all your support.

Hobo

 

If she did open and read it, she still may respond. It may take her time to know how to approach the situation.

 

Yes, Gman... she might. I have not given up ALL hope.

The important thing is, she now has a conduit if she so chooses. She knows it... and so do I.

That's pretty much all I ever wanted. To FIND her, yes... but, to give her a way to contact ME if she wanted, independent of her mother.

If she's read my messages, she knows. She has more info to contact ME than I had for 25 years!

She could be somewhat "shell-shocked" ... and I understand that. I can wait.

 

Okay, now I'm really freaked out! I was going to send her a last message tonight and, for some reason, F/B asked me to pay a DOLLAR to send it. So... I did.

BOOM! I got a message back FROM HER... within a few minutes! Actual CONTACT! [tears]

She SAYS she didn't KNOW she was adopted... or so it seems. She doesn't know WHO I am... and she's confused.

I don't understand this but... I don't care! My daughter actually sent me a message on F/B!

Maybe.... I WILL have an update soon.

Could be good or bad.... but.... it will be verified, not just a guess!

Thank you all so much. Special thanks to one.

I am beside myself.

AS I TYPE: I got a text from her! She says she can't talk right now... her MOTHER wants a chance to "explain this."

WOW! What a night!

 

wow, and i was just about to give up hope that this saga was going to be picked up for another season.

here's hoping the ex wife doesn't try to muddle it for you.

 

I would like a dollar too!

Great news Hobo!

 

Sorry I haven't replied to this sooner, hobo. I'm sorry I been out of the loop.

Sounds like good news. Hope that you two can be reconciled.
The very same thing happened to a friend of my sister. I don't remember every detail, but her dad found her on facebook. Her dad was in Atlanta. He has moved here, to be with her.
Seems pretty common. I believe that facebook is not only a networking deal, but like yall, I think it brings people together.

Hope everything works out well for the both of ya.

Keep us updated..

 

Wow this sounds positive. I hope it works out.

As long as I've been a member on FB .. I've never been told I'd have to pay for a responce to Any message I've sent someone. ....;-) .... Has anyone else heard of this/ paying to send a message or get a responce ???
