But I had noone to give me guidance. Now not only do I regret my decision, but also my Mother deeply regrets not helping more. We are very close, my mother and I but we will always have regrets for that decision.

Your decision to give your child up for adoption is the most couragous and loving act that a mother could ever give her child.

God has forgiven my mother and I and has blessed me with a wonderful son. You are as well blessed.

I don't know why I write this to all of you except for maybe to give you a deeper appreciation for what you are doing.

If I can help is anyway, if not just to listen, feel free to e-mail me.

Thank you for this opportunity and I hope I didn't offend anyone.
