Dear Vicky,
Amazing, I finally have the name of my birth mother. No more ghosts, shadows or fantasies about names.
I am writing this letter to a person who has a very special place in my thoughts and heart. You have given me something so wonderful and precious - my life.
My name is Nina and I am now 30 years old. I was told about being adopted at a very young age and have always wondered about the person who gave me life. I grew up in a very loving family and wanted for nothing. I laughingly tell people about my "Beaver Cleaver" family. Without you I would not have experienced such joy and love and for that I will always be grateful to you for your sacrifice.
I now know what it means to give life. I have a beautiful little boy who is 18 months old and truly the love of my life! This experience has given me an even greater respect for you. He has blue eyes - amazing - because his father’s are brown and mine are green. Had our son been born a daughter, we had planned to name her Victoria.
I guess I should tell you more about me. I am 5’2 and ¾" (I stress the ¾ of an inch) have light brown hair (sprinkled with grey) and green eyes. I have been married for almost seven years and am so lucky to have found such a terrific man. I worked as a cosmetologist (I love people) for many years but now I have the most challenging job of all, I am a full time Mommy.
By this time you must be wondering why I am seeking you now. Truthfully this is not the first time. When I was nineteen I approached my mother explaining my wishes to find you. I was met with much opposition and hurt feelings. I even received a phone call from the pastor at our chruch to dissuade me from my search. Make no mistake, I love my parents with all my heart but this one topic (my adoption) has always brought on mixed and conflicting answers.
I am by nature (or genes) a very curious person and dislike not knowing all the facts. So I turn to you, Vicky, my birth mother to help me complete my "circle." I simply seek to untangle my genetic background and answer the questions I’ve lived with without answer.
My intention is not to disrupt or intrude in your life and yet here I am. The need to know has become more intense for my sons future and mine too.
I hope that you will not feel sadness upon receiving this letter. You are responsible for so much joy and I hope some of that joy will be a part of your life as well.
Anxiously waiting to hear! Nina
