Helping my friend locate her biological father
Hello all,
Recently I have been assisting my friend in locating her biological father. Through her Ancestry DNA results and genealogy research we were able to identify him and get a phone number and an email address. She decided to email him yesterday and as of today he has not responded. Which I didn't see as a bad thing. There could be a number of reasons why he hasn't responded yet. But his lack of response has sent her spiraling. It hasn't been a full 24 hours yet. And she keeps texting me that he is ignoring her email.
She sent me a text about an hour ago saying she is going to delete the email account I talked her out of it but she has put a week deadline on receiveing a response. If she doesn't receive a response she is going to cut the only line of communication she has if he does eventually try to reply. Because she didn't include a secondary email, she didn't include a number or any of her social media accounts.
I think this is a bad idea but maybe I am wrong and I should just let her do what she feels is best and not try to convince her again otherwise. My question is what do you guys think is a good waiting period to see if he responds back?
