My son was due to receive his letterbox contact last month. It's our first time so I'm not sure how it works. If you hear nothing does it mean family have decided not to write? Or do the social workers contact you and say we've spoken to birth family but they've decide not to write? I've emailed the letterbox co ordinator but havent had a reply. She doesn't work many hours and trying to contact her by telephone has been fruitless.
I honestly thought BM would stay in contact. She relinquished, kept to every direct contact, we communicated during that contact and she engaged really well with social workers. I feel so bad for my son if she doesn't. He's too young to understand right now but what do I tell him in the future?
I know the social workers miss placed the letter I sent and almost didn't give it to BM on time because they asked me for a second copy but then found it.
Am I being inpatient? Or should I be chasing this up?
