What adoptees want birth mothers to know

"Let me start by telling you how thankful I am for your decision to give me up for adoption. I have a wonderful family. My mom would tell me that even though I wasn't born from her stomach, I was born from her heart."

"The family you picked for me was the best! They raised me with love and care and always made me feel special because I was ‘picked” to be part of the family. Thank you! Thank you!" 

"Thank you! I was adopted into a large family that has showered each of us with so much love. Our house was always full of fun, laughter, respect, and care. Thank you again for making such a hard decision."

"Some people have tales of how they were saved from a deadly situation by a fireman, policeman, or just a heroic citizen. I have you – an unsung hero. By your selfless actions, you allowed me to have a wonderful life."

"I am not angry nor have I ever gone through feelings of anger or resentment towards you. I have always felt completely content and satisfied with my family – never questioning the adoption. I have been raised to feel it is a part of me that makes me unique and for that I am grateful to you and my parents."

"My birth mother is truly a wonderful woman who gave with her heart. I am very grateful to her for giving me the opportunity that she couldn't afford at the time. Her act of pure love and unselfish behavior gave me a life filled with all the extras – I can never thank her enough."

"I always thought of my birth mother as an angel who did the right thing when it was the hardest thing in the world to do. I have been blessed by two women who have loved me unconditionally."

"You provided the initial direction for my life and I cannot express my appreciation enough for the choice you made. Please know that I have had a wonderful life – I have always been surrounded by loving family and friends and have had an amazing journey that has been filled with wonderful opportunities. I have been truly blessed." 

"Because you loved me enough to let me go, I had an exceptional life. My only hope is that by giving me up, you were able to grow in your life."
