Throughout this past year, my recipient and I have been able to correspond through letters that pass through NMDP to ensure anonymity. I have received letters from her husband, sister, mother, and son and I get so excited when I hear from her and her family. I just received a couple of letters last week that had been written back in September (there's about a month lag with sending it through NMDP and all).
But now, in exactly 10 days, it will have been 1 year since the donation and we will be allowed to release our contact information and correspond without going through NMDP. I've been counting down the days for a long time but since November started, I've been unable to contain my excitement!
