From a Birth Mother in BC - not yours - but I want to talk
Hi,
My name is Shelley. I live in Vancouver. I am a birth mother and I have recently been in contact with my daughter who was born in 1984 and is the same age as you.
How is everything going with your search? Are you getting anywhere yet?
I just felt compelled to write to you. I know this all must be difficult for you and if you are looking for anyone to talk to or help you, I certainly can do what I can. It would be an honour for me.
Adoption is very hard on all of us, but I now am seeing how it is for some adoptees, the need to connect with a birth parent.
I can only tell you from my point, that I never, ever stopped thinking about my daughter and would like to say that it is possible that your mother thinks of you.
I am here if you have any quesitons. I put my name on a registry in Alberta, that is where my/our adoption took place in 1984 and this registry posted my daughters name on the internet, just her name, and she was on the internet and found that I was searching for her and it went from there.
I wish you peace of heart and mind on your journey.
Shelley.
