It’s Time.
Posted by Tirzah under life | Tags: biological father, curious, letter to my dad, never met |March 31, 2008
First of all, let me say that if you aren’t the same “insert real dads name here” that grew up around here and “city” with “my mom and her friends name” then don’t bother reading on, it won’t make any sense!
Well…
I’m not really all that sure how to say who I am, but I know you at least know of me. My name is Tirzah; I’m a wife, mother, granddaughter, and also a daughter, your daughter.
I’ve been debating either calling you or writing you a letter for the longest time, but up until right now I’ve finally decided that there’s no sense in waiting it out any longer. I can’t foresee waiting and wondering and then having something unexpected happen and never having the chance to let you know that I’m out here, that I’m willing and that I’m open to a relationship if you are equally willing.
I’ve been married for 10 years to my husband Claude and we have three beautiful kids together, two girls and a boy. They are 7, 4 and 2 respectively, and they give me the most joy and the most anger I’ve experienced in my life so far!
I don’t want to force anything on you, I just want you to know that I’m around if you ever feel like meeting, talking or just writing a letter. My parents know that I’ve been considering contacting you and they are ok with that….in fact they offered to help me find you but for now I don’t think I need their help. I’ve thought about the kind of person that I am, and where some of my personality might have come from.
I’m eager, nervous and hopeful all at the same time. I don’t have any real expectations for where this will go; I just needed to finally do something so I know I’ve taken a step toward satisfying my curiosity.
Sincerely;
Tirzah Taylor

As an adoptee, I know how you feel. I wish you luck baby girl. May whatever you want from this happen, and if it doesn’t, may you still somehow manage to find peace. Heart you!

I’m not sure why it doesn’t like you. lol It’s not me, it’s WordPress!
Cuz you know I love you big time!!!
Well the guy lives like 10 minutes from me, so if worst came to worst and he ignores me, I could always just show up at his door!

Good luck, honey! I hope it turns out for the best, whatever that is! (What a cop out of an answer, eh? :P)

Jess and Heather, I’m hoping for good and if I don’t get a response I don’t know what I’ll do…I just hope for SOME response!
