Hi Brent. When C.A.S. first told me that they had located my mother, I asked 
the lady handeling the case to tell my mother that I had NO anger or bitter 
feelings towards her. When July came C.A.S. called her several times and got 
noresponse to the messages they left. So, its clear to me that my mother 
isn't ready to meet me which is fine. I wouldn't want to push her into 
anything she wasn't ready for.....I've waited 27 years, I can wait a little 
longer if I have to.
