[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please consider going through an adoption agency with post-adoption services to do this. Even though you did not use their services to place  your child, you may be able to contact The Barker Foundation in Bethesda or another similar organization and ask for assistance. They have a post-adoption group that may be able to advise you and possibly reach out to your daughter in a way that won't be damaging for either of you. You seem a little naive about the possibility your daughter feeling rejected by you and could probably benefit from speaking with someone who has significant experience in this area so any contact you have with your daughter is as positive as possible for both of you.

I think this is an excellent idea.[/quote]

Another one who thinks this is a great idea.  I'm also adopted and your lack of sensitivity to wanting to invite her to look at photos of your happy family is grossly insensitive.  She did the right thing when she reached out to you years ago and respected your wishes.  You need to show her the same courtesy and give her the space she needs to decide if she wants to be involved with you now.  Don't do it through Facebook -- geez, it's like they say:  you can take the girl out of the trailer park, but you can't take the trailer park out of the girl.[/quote]
