For those of you who relinquished a child through closed adoption, what would you want his or her parents to know about you? What would you tell them if they were sitting right in front of you?
For those of you who are navigating open adoption (OA), what do you want your child's parents to know about you? Is there anything that you've held back, but really want to tell them?

Okay, I'll be the first to go here....
When my son was a baby, a child, I hoped with every ounce of my being that his parents would love him unconditionally, no matter what happened. Even though I never met them when our son was born (Baby Scoop Era), I considered his adoption to be a "sacred trust".
I trusted them to love him, to protect him, to treat him just as they would treat a child born to them, to cherish him.
I would want them to know that I loved him when I carried him, that I loved him when he was born, and that I will always love him until the day I die...and beyond.
I would want them to know that I pray for their family each and every day...always have, always will.

Ravensong ~ that was beautiful! I also prayed that my son's parents cherished my son as much as I did. I prayed that they were great parents to him. I prayed for my son's parents as much as I prayed for him.
What I would love to tell my son's parents today ~ I want them to know how much I am thankful for & cherish our reunion. That I in no way mean to take anything away from them, I know I will never replace his mom. My greatest wish is that his parents would want to get to know me, to be a part of this reunion also.
