My oldest daughter is 35, I'm seeing her for the 2nd time when she gets her Masters (links corrected

[Omaha Steve]

I posted this earlier with a bad title. So I'm trying this.

For those that remember from my posts last December. I will be traveling to see my oldest daughter Bobbi graduate from Physicians Assistant school in August. This will be our second actual meeting since she was adopted out after her birth. I wasn't 16 for another couple of weeks at the time 35 years ago. I only saw her once for just a moment after she was born. This is a closed adoption success story. Her birth mom and I had to trust in the system. I can't say enough about what 2 strangers did for Bobbi her entire life. Her graduation confirms that.

1. You should be very proud and she should feel very blessed.

Two sets of great parents! I bet you can remember back to the dark day when you gave her up and you probably wondered what would happen to her. You are so fortunate to know! Congratulations!

3. You need to redo your links to your previous posts...

They don't work, and I would like to read them. I saw one of them when you posted it. I remember how great it was to read.

Thank you for sharing your family's story. Your links worked fine for me.

Congratulations to Bobbi on her graduation.

She's fortunate to have such loving people in her life.

6. Well, now I’ve had my sentimental moment for the day.

I am so glad things worked out for all of you, that had to have been a rough time 35 yrs ago.
