I am remembering Cindy today. Its been five years since her death and I think of her often. She was my friend and she died tragically. Adoption caused her so, so much pain and every single adoptive parent needs to know and remember her story. TO know she was a real person who lived and loved and was absolutely destroyed by her child's adoptive parents. Think of her today please.

Jen,

Thanks for keeping her memory alive. Her death and the way she was treated prior to it was truely a tragedy.

I never had the honor of knowing Cindy, but I've come to know her story from those who did. I urge everybody to take a few minutes to silently reflect on her life and death. I'm also thinking about all the other birthmoms who have taken their own lives out of desperation and loss of hope...and keeping them in my daily prayers and meditations.

I knew Cindy too. Thanks for the reminder, Jen. She was such a kind, generous soul.

Missy M....I can only hope that the media will have some relationship to honesty and tell it all...not just the drama parts that sell media and make money for furthering media agendas....
