I have not talked to my birth daughter or her mom since Christmas time. I feel extreme guilt for not contacting them but I am sooooo nervous about telling them that I am pregnant...again.

Help. Kick me into gear! Tell me the reasons why not talking to this 10 year old girl is not beneficial to either her or I. Please help me to get this email, this card, this anything sent to her!!!

As a fellow coward, I'm absolutely no help. I'll be seeing my daughter for the first time in ten years tomorrow. Maybe, I'll have better advice on Sunday.

I am no help either. I have an open adoption and don't take as much advantage of it as I should. I saw Kate in January, the first time since she was probably 9 months old.

I am friends with her dad on Facebook, so we keep in touch that way. I felt horrible that was how he found out about both me and DH's pregnancy and subsequent miscarriage. They also have 1 other daughter they adopted....I don't want to feel like a burden on them.
