I was wondering if any of you would mind sharing your 1st contact letters if you have written them. If you haven't written one, do you have any suggestions on what I should include or exclude?
My daughter turned 18 yesterday and I would like to send her a letter but don't know quite what to say. She knows she was adopted and knows who I am though she and I have not had any direct contact. However, I have sent letters to her adoptive parents throughout the years so there is some limited contact between her parents and myself. Primarily, I want to convey my love for her and my willingness to have more communication with her when she is ready.
Any help you could pass along would be greatly appreciated!

My placed son turned 18 last September. I wrote him a letter that basically said that I loved him and thought about him every day. I told him my life was a mess when he was born and I wanted him to have a better life than I could give him. I told him that I appreciated his parents for giving him the life I wanted him to have and couldn't thank them enough. I told him I was not trying to interfere with his life or hurt his parents in any way. I just wanted to get the chance to know him. I said whatever relationship he wanted to have whenever he was ready I would be gratefull for. Good Luck to you in reaching out to your daughter! Just write the letter from your heart and it will be fine.

Hello....
I am new here and am glad to have found this site. My daughter whom I gave to a loving family 30 years ago wants to connect with me. I got the letter this past week from the Children's Home Soc of FL in Jacksonville. What a wonderful thing! I am grateful for all of your posts! Had anyone had experiences with this particular office? I saw a short post the other day that said that these offices can all be run differently. If anyone has any tips I would appreciate them! Till next time! Neal Ann Werner in CT
