I am grateful to my birthmother for many things- my heart, my compassion, my long fingers that made me a piano player. I'm grateful to her for my natural artistic talent, for my eyes, my features and my intellect. I am grateful for the blanket she made me, for the way she took care of me while we were still together, and for the parents she chose to raise me. I am grateful that she did what she thought was best for me, at the risk of creating a hole in her own life.

I am grateful for many things. But grateful that she didn't abort me? No sir. She never considered it. She told me this herself.

I was born just as every other child in the world is born- to a mother who loved me just as any other mother would. I have a right to be alive, and though I am thankful for the amazing life that I have- I don't think the fact that I was adopted has any baring on my personal value in this world.
