I am a Birth Mother who entrusted her first born to the Adoption System in 1969...These are my thoughts...and my letters to that child...now almost 46 years later...
I will begin by telling you that for 43 years I had no idea where my child was or what kind of life that child had...like most Birth Mothers I was told to "forget" about the birth and get on with my life. That is totally impossible...I met my child the year I turned 60 and my child was 43. We had several wonderful years together and now we are separated once again. There is nothing I feel I could of done in 1969 and in 2014 to have stopped either of those separations.
I will say that I love my child dearly...and my life is good knowing that growing up was normal and wonderful. The Adoptive family gave all of their love to their children and they grew and prospered to be wonderful adults...
I recently ran across several boxes of letters that I wrote over the years as my child grew. I never had the opportunity to share them...so I share them here...
