Hello. I just sent my letter to my birthmom two weeks ago today. I sent it overnight, priority and registered mail. It took 5 days for her to sign for it because of the holiday and her schedule at work. I had been tracking it with the post office by e-mail, and the day she actually signed for it, I was in a fog. Thankfully, we spent the afternoon and early evening with my husband's family for Yom Kippur and that took my mind off it (somewhat). When we returned home, the phone rang, and it was my birthmom. We talked for two hours and I can't believe how we connected. The letter I wrote was from my heart. It started with my name and date of birth. I briefly explained my childhood and let her know that I was fine and raised in a loving home. I then explained my current life including my husband and children. I explained to her that it was very important for me to get updated medical information for my children. I also let her know that I often thought of her on my birthday, and hoped that she was well, happy and at peace. I ended it with expressing my desire for answers to the medical background, and basically let her know that if she wanted contact, I would be thrilled and welcome the opportunity. On the other hand, I also let her know that if she was uncomfortable in any way, I would understand, but I hoped that she would find it in her heart to send me the medical information.
I really believe that you should write from your heart. After all, how could it be any other way? Good Luck to you, I hope you find all that you are searching for
