Hello,

I placed my baby daughter for adoption 20 yrs. ago. It is an open adoption. I always knew where she was and who the parents were. I had their phone number and address and I wrote and called over the years.

She will turn 21 in June. I'm so glad I chose adoption instead of abortion. Now she is 20 and I'm about to make contact. I called her parents 2 years ago when she was 18. It didn't go so well. I had a bad attitude . It didn't work. I waited two yrs. and called them again just a few days ago. I had a big long talk w/her mom. Her mom said she would let me talk to her but she wasn't there. We agreed that I could write her a letter so that is what I'm going to do .

I've already written her a letter. I think this is the best way to "break the ice" and open the door for communica-tion. I'm not much of a conversationalist on the phone. I can't think of much to say. But in writing I think I can do much better.
