Some are good, others not, but I can not regret them for I am them, and they are me.
I hope you do not regret your choice, for I do not.
Please know that the little one you gave life to, has lived it.

oh my goodness..... I cried as I read these words. I picked out the parts that hit me the hardest/best (quoted above). I am a birthmom, and although I may not be yours, I can assure you that she would be so proud of the depth of person who you demonstrate you are with these thoughtful, kind and heartfelt words... she would be so happy to know you. She would certainly NEVER regret her choice, and you must know that no matter the circumstance, she loved you and her decision was probably the hardest she had/has ever made.
We are all the sum of our experiences, and sometimes I think we spend a lifetime trying to figure out who we are through others, when we have always had all we need within ourselves.
I hope that someday your birthmother and you have that chance encounter.... and if not, I bet in her heart she will somehow feel at peace.
