Regina,
Neither Brandy nor I said anything about being perfect. We offered up the fact that we would have been hurt. We gave the perspective of a birthparent. Neither of us condemned her. I gave her info on a good way to contact.
I am of the utmost belief that this relationship can be fixed. The birthparents just need to know that they can trust the adoptive family again. Trust, once broken, takes awhile to fix. (And that's in ANY relationship.) It takes time, hard work and sometimes creative endeavors.
I still say to go with a letter from the daughter. Kids handwriting is touching to even those without kids!
