[MeImmortal1]

I was born at St. Vincent's adoption agency In RI. My adoptive mom told me that my birth mom was very young, and that she had aspirations to be a nurse (I hope she doesn't smoke). That is all I know. I was born I think in Pawtucket, I do not know where the St. Vincent agency is. I have been so curious for so many years. It would be nice to know, that's all. I also want to let my birth mom know I thank her and that I know it must have been hard in those days to be a young unmarried girl carrying a baby. For all the kids who talked trash, it was totally worth it Mom, I was born after Roe V. Wade, you could have took the easy way out... and I wouldn't be here

BUT - you didn't and at my young 31 years of age (05/17/1973) I have had the best life, I've experienced so many things and enjoy the air, the earth, the water and the sky. I've met a lot of good people and also learned about the bad people there are here too. But out of all the hard things that have happened, I wouldn't give it away for the world. Thank you for giving birth to me, for sacrificing me and giving me up to a good family who were able to support me and show me love. To give me the best of everything. My adoptive parents are the best, and a lot of sinlge moms aren't strong enough to let there kids go. They either abort them easily, or if they hold them - they say, "how can you give your child up after holding it all those months". It is easy to keep the child, thinking you are doing the right thing. your emotions don't give the child a chance to break out. My parents had the ability to give me a good home life, and a quality education. Lots of single moms just don't have those resources, and sometimes their kids grow up ghetto, and end up being destitute, with little opportunity.

So thanks Mom, for giving me life, opportunity, and for making the hardest decision a mother could ever make. For your sacrifice I will always cherish you for
