I just want to thank you all, I didn't think I would ever see my daughter again. Then she contacted me when she was 19. After that I just knew that, that was it. Now in about 72 hours I will see the grown woman that I last seen when she was 10 months old. I never stopped loving her, always wondered how her life was going, and always prayed that she didn't hate me, resent that I gave her up but kept my son, just all kinds of thoughts through my life. If she does ask me why I gave her up, and not my son I will explain everything to her, and tell her at that time she was so young that I didn't think she would have bad memories, and be able to have a good life. When all of this happened, her premature birth, her medical problems, her bio father, divorce, moving, giving her up, all of it, it changed my son. My son was a very happy, active, busy child, and after all of that he was quiet, and not happy go lucky like he was before. My daughter was a happy baby, and I wanted her to stay that way. I knew I couldn't do for the both of them what each child needed, and I didn't want the state to take them, and they end up in a foster home. I my self was a ward of the state. Most of my time as a ward of the state wasn't good, then when you turn 18 you have to figure it all out on your own. No family, grand parents, aunts, uncles, ect. to help. You have to deal with what ever is thrown your way. The time that the good Lord let me have both my children, I would cook for my neighbor, and she would buy dippers in exchange, and I took in sewing to try to make ends meet. Well they never did. I want all of you to know these things bc you all are helping me to get all of this out before I meet her, and it helps me so very much. I have kept all of these things bottled up for 30 years.AGAIN A VERY BIG THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
