Be Kind To Yourself
Oh, my Dear! Please don't do that to yourself. My 47 year old brother was adopted when he was 14 months old. He was and is the joy of our lives. We give praise and thanks for his birth mother who loved him well and saw that he had the care she could not give him.
Every Mother's Day our mother remembered and honored my brother's birth mother. Our mother is gone now but we as siblings have not forgotten the treasured and cherished gift we were given in our mutual mother and our brother's birth mother. We honor them both and never forget them.
People are often insensitive through ignorance. It is not a betrayal or a dishonor to your child to protect her privacy as well as your own. It is a further gift of love and if I may presume, I honor you for that. Lay the guilt down. It is false and unearned.
Warmly, Aunt Peach
