That is such a wonderful piece! I met my Birthmother, and the first words I said to her were, "thank you for the gift of life!" It is wonderful that you have such a positive outllook on adoption. I was adopted in 1966 and my sister in 1969. We had a wonderful upbringing and 2 loving parents that have married nearly 50 years. My sister has decided not to search... It is such a personal decision. I have never regretted my decision, but deeply respect my sister's and other adoptees like yourself. God bless you.
Smiles to you--my fellow adoptee,
Jeanne Erickson
P.S. My birthmother has had her poems published on this very site!
