My daughter will spend Father's Day with the man who gave her her curly hair. (Update post #30)

10. I hope so!

We still haven't heard whether he was actively searching for donor kids, as is possible since he contributed DNA to the same service my daughter did. But he saw the match first, and made the initial contact. My daughter had apparently set her account up so that contact was possible, but not quite enough so that she was able to see the match when it came up.

I hadn't even realized the significance of the day when my daughter told me that they had set a meeting up (I tend not to pay a lot of attention to holidays, unless there's a lot of hype in advance of them). So either it was convenient - since all of his (known) children will be gathered together.

Things have been moving slowly so far. I think that's a good sign. Since there has been a fair amount of PR over the years about our family, once they had the name and where we live, they easily learned that there were two moms involved. At least that won't be a surprise tomorrow!
