I received an early morning email from Nita. She contacted the Lab and the results of the DNA tests will be ready tomorrow. These last few weeks have been a test of patience for sure. Time has passed, so many years really. I have searched for so long and have had many heartaches and blessings. The last few years have been truly wonderful ones. I have been united with a brother and sister I never knew and visited the country of my birth family.
Though the chance to speak briefly with my birthmother was not joyous I even look at that as a blessing. After 51 years I was able to hear her voice and speak to her. I was able to thank her for the choices she made. Still there is one piece of me which remains hidden and I hope tomorrow will bring the answer.
If Nita is my sister I will truly be a lucky woman. While we have only written back and forth a few times I already can sense her kindness and warmth. If the results show that we are not sisters…I will not give up. I will not end the search. Each bit of news is a clue, whether yes or no I will accept and continue to move along this journey.
