I just read your letter and I was glad to see how your feel. I am a birthmom, and cried all the time cause I missed my son so much. I was 20 yrs old when I gave him up for adoption, cause I knew I could not give him what he needed (except Love). I went to therapy for yrs and finally when I was turning 40 a new therapist says to me contact the adoption agency that you went through and get their address and write him a letter. I did just that. That was in 1988. In 1992 my son contacted me. He said he had been looking for a while and finally found out where he was adopted from and called them and asked about me. They told him to come in and talk. They gave him my letter. He called me a few days later. Am I glad I wrote that letter. All those years he said he never thought I wanted him. It was the letter that I wrote that explained my heartfelt love for him. Maybe this will help other birthmoms and adoptees. My thoughts are with you all. Anita
