[FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Thank you for the gift that culminated in my birth 42 years ago today. This evening, I shall go down to the sea and I shall watch the sun set. This shall be your gift to me this year, the sunset that I never might have seen had you not made the choice you did. Thank you, and blessings to you in this new year.[/FONT]
[FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Happy Easter mom, I am serving as the interim pastor at our church now. I have been preaching since January.... most of what I do is about just teaching, and counseling.... helping people. The life, the opportunity you have me to serve has not been wasted. Because of your sacrifice, I have a good life. The Easter message I gave today gave people hope. I would not have been able to give it if you had not given me hope. I hope you are well, and that you read this. I would like to meet you some day to thank you. God bless you, and thank you mom.[/FONT]

To whoever the brave woman was..... Thank you. I pray that you are well. I pray that you are comforted by the knowledge that your sacrifice has allowed me to grow up in a family that was able to support me. I pray that you were able to go on and have a family of your own. I am thankful that you did not choose an easier way, I know so little of you, or your world. I believe you were a student at Cal state and being pregnant in college with your life before you must have been a chore. I am thankful that you choose to give me my life, and I want you to know that I do not judge you, or your decision. I imagine that your handing me over to another was one of the hardest things you ever had to do. Were you ever even allowed to hold me? I do not know. I do know that my mother (the one who adopted me) has loved me. Things have not always been easy, (as they are not for anyone) but she has loved me. You would have been pleased. I pray that if you read these words they might be a comfort to you. I have never sought you out, but have been content to respect your decision. My info is posted in a few places, in case you should have ever come to need to know. I am content to live in the knowledge of who I am. I am the sum of the experiences I have lived, and the choices I have made. Some are good, others not, but I can not regret them for I am them, and they are me. I hope you do not regret your choice, for I do not. Please know that the little one you gave life to, has lived it. Thank you.

I always wanted to thank my birth mother for giving me life. I didn't go in search of my real mother despite being adopted when I was born in 1967. I later met someone in a restaurant in the South of France and because they were Irish bravely for the first time asked them if they knew my mother who had an unusual surname and they did! Unfortunately i was too late. She died of breast cancer in 1988. I was to find out that she later became a successful model and fashion designer. As a result of her decision to give me away I have had a rewarding and sometimes difficult life. I have written a book about finding my mother called "Abandoned Love" on Amazon. The first pages are free on kindle. Rosie Houghton
[FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Happy mothers day! A very happy mothers day to all the birth mothers reading this thread. I do not expect to be able to post on mothers day, so this is a little bit early this year. :D I hope someday to be able to share with my B-mom how thankful that I am that she gave me life, but am thankful to be able to share that with other birth mothers out there. Thank You, and happy mothers day!:thanks: [/FONT]

C_Amos, I too am an adoptee (a little older than you) who wanted to thank the girl who had given me life from the time I was 17 (her age when she had me) and I understood the courage that she had. And, I always knew in my heart that she needed to know the rest of the story - that I was loved, had a good life with a wonderful family, that she had made a good decision for me. It took over 30 years from then when I found this website and registered. A year later, a friend of my bmom found me and we connected. I found out that I was right ... she did need to know. Saying those words to her in person was the most perfect day. We had an amazing 4 years together. Friends tell me that she was at peace for the first time in her life and she told others that her life was now perfect. It is just over a year ago that I lost her, this time for good. But I am so grateful that I got my wish to tell her how much I appreciated her. She would never have searched for me, she didn't know how and she didn't feel worthwhile. This is an amazing string - that you come back year after year. My opinion only - Don't be afraid to search - even if all you get to do is say the words that you feel in your heart, it will be worth it. Sometimes the universe just works in your favor when your heart wish is strong. Take care, Jill
May the gratitude I feel in this moment some how reach you. You gave me a great gift, and I learn more and more each day what it means. I am anchored on a boat in the US Virgin Islands tonight. I have played my flute in the moonlight, and my thoughts are filled with gratitude. Peace and blessings to you,
