Quote From: yogamamaI placed my little girl with loving parents on November 23, 1984. I spent my entire pregnancy reading profiles so that I may find two people that were able to give my child the sort of life I would have had I had the means and opportunity. They named her Elizabeth. I have dreamt of the day when she calls me or knocks on my door. That will be the day when I feel like I won the lottery. She will be the one to decide what kind of relationship we will have. I now live in a nice town in Connecticut with two beautiful boys, 6 and 4, and a kind and loving husband. I will be 40 years old in November.
I want everyone who has been adopted to know that any mother that had the courage to place you with another family, did so from a place of love like I did so long ago.
I too gave a daughter up for adoption, like you i read hundreds of case files trying to find the perfect people to raise my daughter. just when i was about to give up hope i came across a couple whom were too good to be true. everybody else just wanted to have the baby and then cut all ties. I knew i could'nt live without knowing how she was. this couple wanted me as part of their lives as much as my daughter. it's been twelve years and we still write back and forth. I am not sure if i am ever going to be ready to meet her, but i also know the time is coming soon. I'm having trouble coming to terms with having more children. Although i would really like to have them, my head says it's okay, but my heart says it's not. I would consider my lifes dreams come true if one day i can accomplish what you have. you must be an incedible woman and even without knowing you i respect you a great deal.
