Ok, Well now that things have settled slightly, And its an involved one. 18 years ago, the girl I had been seeing a few months earlier, notified me that she was pregnant.Well long story short, she had a daughter, and she was put up for adoption. Fast forward to the begining of November this year. I basically got the internet version of the I have been spending the last month getting to know my daughter Sharie. The process was mostly via internet, but last week, we arranged to finally meet. I've documented the meeting and the few days that we spent togehter. She has her fathers flair for the melodramatic. As she wanted to meet at the fountain at Balboa Park. And she added the flair of standing facing the fountain, so she wouldn't see me walking up. Because she said she wouldn't know how to react if she saw me from a distance. So anyways, heres a link to the photo album http://mygirl.shutterfly.com so there you have it. as you can see, i've been be dropping in from time to time....

Wow, TG, you got some strong genes there!! Mouth, nose, eyes - everything!! I'm so happy that it was a happy ending for her, especially - that her father wanted to meet her and treated her with love. That will make a HUGE (positive) difference in her life, I predict. Congrats on gaining a beautiful (grown) daughter :) |

What a thrilling, and emotionally riotous thing, to be going through! She is darling. TG, you are such an open and caring person -- I cannot put myself in your daughter's shoes, but if I were going through a crazy life circumstance like that, you're exactly the sort of guy I would hope to find on the other end of it. Congratulations on your new family! |

What a beautiful girl. Speaking as a father, I find kids to be the sweetest when they are really small and then when they are really big. Congratulations. |

Well to be fair, she really does look a lot like her mother also. She wears both of us very well. |

Don't forget Craigslist -- I've heard all sorts of success stories from people who've used it and found neat places to live in Los Angeles. Best of luck, and I'll keep my ears perked! |
