Write to your mother

[FONT="Palatino Linotype"]Hi Liz! I think this is a fascinating idea and would love to participate...I was actually just on the hunt for some of the letters that I've written over the years...I remember writing letters to my birth mother as a child (I was in a closed adoption) and having them returned by the agency with all self-identifying information whited out. It was incredibly bewildering to me as a child (and even now as an adult) to be so close to corresponding with my mother, but having an intermediary party have so much power over my ability or inability to share my deepest feelings. I have found the writing of letters to her (even though they often go unsent) to be incredibly therapeutic as a process though. I will definitely be in touch again when I have found some of these letters![/FONT]

Just submitted mine. I wish a lot more people would be on board, it's always good to know that others feel like me and are going through the same thing.

How long, how short? I'll submit mine but don't want to write too much.

I would do it too...is the original poster coming back? I'll spend time on it but only if I know it will actually be received.

a letter to your mother can be however long you feel necessary to get your message out. dont feel limited and worried about how long or short it is. anything coming from within is not limited. as far as the orig. poster, hit up her email. thats what i did and she replied. she told me she is still putting it together.

Liz, Are you still accepting these letters? i think it's a great idea. ~Elinor

Hi Elinor, Yes! This is a slow process, very slow in getting responses. I would love to hear from you, and read your story. Thank you for asking, Liz writer4now@aol.com
