Wow I can't believe my birthday is in 2 days. I sit here today and think about my birthmother. I wonder what she went through in the process of making her decision. Back in the late 1970's all adoptions were closed and so I don't know her. I thank her from here though because she gave me a chance at a life with both a mother and a father. She gave me a family to grow up in and to always have to support me. Some people ask my what it is like to be adoption and not know my mother and father. This is how i respond. I do know my mother and father. They are the ones who raised me from the time I was 4 weeks old until now and are still here with me. They taught me everything I know and have always stood by me no matter what. My birthparents made the unselfish sacrifice to give me away and hoped that I would know that they truely loved me and wanted the best. I thank them for the gift they gave my family.
