I...Thanks for the welcome to the world of blogging! I haven't quite got the protocol down yet so I am responding to you comments here.<BR/><BR/>I had a similar situation where my Birthmom was terrified and/or unable to meet me. I think she was afraid I was angry or crazy.<BR/><BR/>Because there is such a push for medical information, My post adoption counselor sent birthmom a letter telling her we were going around her to petition the courts to contact birth relatives on deceased birthfather's side for medical information. First, the court approved the contact very quickly and second it helped birthmom come around. She wanted to be sure her side of the story was out there.<BR/><BR/>It is unfortunate that adoptees need to use the medical card but it sure seems to work!<BR/><BR/>I would also suggest a intermediary who is from a social service agency . Very reasonable(if they charge at all!) and they know their way around the courts and reunion process. It wouldn't have happened for me without them.Hound Doggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14885623405549742282noreply@blogger.com
