I'm a 33 year old, adopted when I was 2 weeks old.
I just want you as bmums to know how I feel about mine, although we have never met (My name is on the reunion registry, but hers is not and I have not yet started an active search).
I am so incredibly grateful, from the depths of my heart, for the decision she made for me. It must have hurt so much to go through with the pregnancy and birth, knowing she would not see me again. I have so much respect for any woman who makes that decision. It is unselfish, kind and loving of you to do what you have done.
My amum always talked about my bmum as someone who loved me so much that she gave me up because she wanted the best for me. I've always loved her although I've never met her. My amum is and will always be my mum, but my bmum will always be an important and beloved person in my life, even if I never meet her.
Unless and until she decides she wants contact I can't tell her this, but I wanted to tell you who are going through the same experience - THANK YOU for your guts and your selflessness in doing this.
