Thanks so much for sharing... I remember I read that long ago... I never said anything... but maybe here's a weird corollary; I was not adopted but I was abandoned by my birthmother. My father had to put me in foster care where I bounced around until he moved in with my step-mother and I moved in too. I was 5. You don't know how many times I wish my parents had just let me be adopted. I found out from one of my foster parents that they had WANTED to adopt me but my father wouldn't do it, took me back from them and put me with someone else. Bouncing around, wishing I could find someone who really loved me, wondering why my parents didn't want me around...
I dunno, I just thought I'd finally tell you that... as much pain as it gave you.. you did a wonderful thing. I know my birthmother but we don't have a decent relationship whatsoever. just cordial. Because she didn't have the strength to do the right thing and neither did my father.

Just wow.

thanks for sharing, again.
That's such a tough thing to go through! But I'm glad you have been reunited.
