When Barbara contacted us to find her birth-sister through the Confidential Intermediary Program, she had high hopes of a happy reunion. We located Latesha, who was very excited that her birth-sister Barbara was looking for her. They spoke on the phone that night and since they lived in the same state, Barbara drove to meet Latesha.

The sisters had a nice visit and both women had high hopes for the beginning of a close relationship. Then something happened, but exactly what, Barbara doesn’t know. All Barbara knows is that after Latesha spoke for the first time with their birth-grandmother, she wouldn’t accept calls from Barbara or return her messages. Barbara is naturally heartbroken, not only for the abrupt loss of the birth-sister she had just found, but also for not knowing why. Barbara still hopes that given time things may work out.
