Well, I recognize that my chances of locating my birthparents are slim, and I am okay with that. My concern is that there are 2 people out there that may be wondering how I am. If so, please read on.

I have been given a gift. Life. Thank you for that. I look at the sacrifices that were made on my behalf by you both, and I am in awe. You may be living with regret or even shame, but please do not. I am not ashamed at how I came into this world at all and desperately want you to know how much your sacrifices mean to me.

I am fine. I was raised in a loving home and now have a family of my own to enjoy. I hope the same is true for you. I also recognize that who I am today is a representation of not only how I was raised, but also the nature of you both, which reassures me that your choice to give me up was a sacrifice you made for me out of kindness and concern for my future. Incredible!! Thank you!!!
