Update on DH & meeting his adopted daughter....

Just a quick update, thanks for the thoughts & well wishes when DH was meeting his daughter that he had given up for adoption. Unfortunately, he sat in the restaurant for an hour....she didn't show up. Needless to say, he was absolutely devastated & it was a very hard night so I didn't post anything.  We are hoping that maybe she just got nervous, or maybe her friend couldn't come & drive her...just not sure. Poor guy, he's so hard on himself...of course he said to me...:"well, I guess I wouldn't want to meet me either!" Uggh...just broke your heart! I know that can't be the case because she was the one that reached out & made the call (with her aunt) so I know she in interested & questioning. We did call & leave a message for the aunt...just in case it was something as simple as getting wires crossed or something. I told him...you don't want her going to the wrong restaurant or something & thinking that he had stood her up.  So for now, we wait...patiently & hope it will happen soon.
Thanks for thinking of us! 

Thats too bad. I hope it was something simple as time or Restaurant mix up, but I'm sure the nerves just got the best of her. Your poor Hubby, my thoughts and prayers are with you that it all works out. Please keep us updated.

I'm sorry it didn't work out...but it's good that you called just in case there was a mix up and you don't want her thinking he's the one who didn't show up.  I'd guess that she got scared and didn't show up...and hope that eventually things work out for them to meet.  Be patient w/her...this can't be any easier on her than it is your DH.

I feel so sad for him... I am praying there was a mx up and hopefully they can meet sometime soon!!!

Hugs,
Erika

I am so sorry.....I too pray that it was just a mix up...and if she was nervous that you can reschedule.....big hugs for you too to know what to say to him....

I'm sorry things didn't work out the way you both hoped. Without being able to speak with her, I'm sure all kinds of thoughts go through your minds. The good thing is that your DH has initiated contact, like opening a door. She likely needs time to sort out how she feels and what she expects from meeting her birth Dad. She knows he wants to meet her, so with patience and prayers, I'm guessing she'll be ready to try again.

Hugs,
