I think that deep inside of us all adoptees know and feel their birthmother's love for them. However, just a side note --> a lot of birthmothers say they are 'out there and waiting' for their children to contact them. Most of us adoptees have no way of doing so, because our records are (unfairly) sealed for 99 years without the possibility of release. I am sure that other adoptees can relate when I urge birthmom's who want to reunite to start doing their own search - you are way more likely to find us than we are to find YOU. At this point I have basically begun to try and come to terms with the fact that I will not find my birthmom myself, and I am praying that she is looking for me, too, and that she will have better success than I have had thus far.
BUT -- back to the original post. It is always comforting to read messages from birthmom's to their relinquished children. It reminds me that my birthmom probably feels the same way towards me, and that is a huge comfort.
