Hi there,

I made the same decision only 20 yrs. ago. I was pressured into giving my daughter up and given only 2 weeks to decide as soon as I found out I was pregnant.
I have alot of regrets because I was not given the time that I needed to make a decision. But time passed quickly and I got busy with MY husband and family. I married and had five more children. I also homeschooled my children. I was just busy with life and MY family and I didn't have much time to think about the past or what could have been.

I had an open adoption. I called when she was 18 and again just the other day when she turned 20. I asked her mom if it was o.k. if I wrote and she said o.k. So I've written a letter about three pages long. I think that will go much better than a phonecall where I can't think of much to say. Maybe someday we'll be able to meet in person.
