The letter is a great idea, but don't expect it right away. I write letters to my son all the time, but I haven't written any one letter that imparts all of my knowledge about my family.
As for THE letter, I haven't written it, but when I do, I'll hold onto a copy for him and my attorney will have the other.
Pregnancy and birth are the only thing that most first moms get that are theirs alone, we shouldn't be forced to share it with the rest of the planet (which is how it feels, and I know that aparents share ultrasound pictures and stories and stuff before baby is born about emoms) just because of an adoption plan.

First mom to the amazing Kiddo and adopted adult.
1-4-2009 Mom and I visit Kiddo despite the bad weather. He really loved the blue mittens I made him and even helped me plan my living room. Apparently Hot Wheels wallpapper is the way to go.
2-16-2009 I got a promotion, that comes with a raise. Mom and Dad are visiting and we're going to Al's for pie to celebrate.
4-27-2009 Dad surprises me with a Lady Ugly Stick (an awesome fishing rod that is pink) and a 2nd Iowa Light Artillery Battery jacket. I'm a lucky girl!
5-30-2009 Kiddo turns five. It is hard to believe he is that old already, it seems like just yesterday he was being born. I was at peace for the first time on his birthday, what a nice feeling.
6-13&14 2009 A cannon live fire in Casper WY. We got third place and I got to see Devil's Tower for the first time, it was pretty awesome.
7-4-2009 Amelia the kitten comes to live with me and Liz. Talk about jealousy, Liz will adjust though.
