My son is 18 in eleven days (yeah!!!!!). I have written my letter to him. It is 5 pages long - hope I don't put him to sleep. I mention his birth, his father and I back then - little about his father now, little about my life since, my husband, our children, and that I have enclosed pictures so he can put faces to names and that I hope he is interested in slowly getting to know each other. I put in some pictures. I think some cute ones of my kids - a couple different of each kid. I also put in a picture of his bio-dad, but it was his senior picture, so it's a little dated. There is one of me and my daughter, a picture from my brother's wedding which includes my husband, kids, and brothers and their wives. I have a picture of me and my son (the one I am sending the letter to) when he was a new baby in the hospital. Should I put in a family picture? I didn't know if it would make disconnected from us to see a family picture of my husband, kids, and myself. The others are mostly snapshots.

Also - I was thinking of having someone deliver the letter to him personally. Not anyone in the triad - I just want to make sure he gets it, and I have had a couple conversations with adad lately (my dad's relative) and I am not sure he'd pony up. Thoughts?

Thanks
