Dear Dad,
I'm very happy to receive your response. I have peace in my heart that I never had before. Everything that happened to me, I would always wish my parents were there to share it with me. My wedding, the birth of my children. How I longed for my mother during those times. I was always dependent upon the kindness of strangers.
Adoption is total exile from your entire family. Societies only exile their most hated and despised people, it's considered a terrible thing to do to someone, yet our society allows it to be done to helpless infants.
I had no identity, no information about where I came from except for some sketchy (and incorrect) information my adoptive Mother told me. It was a closed subject in our family, a shameful secret that must never be spoken of.
I appreciate your honesty about the choices you made. The past can never be changed, so we must try and build a better future. I hope that is possible.
I love my true mother very much. I'm surprised by the way I feel, since I've never felt it before. She had the saddest, meanest life of anyone I've ever heard of. It seems that every single person who was supposed to help and protect her instead hurt and abused her. It breaks my heart. No one deserves what she's been through.
Well, I'm surprised I've written so much! I guess I was waiting to hear from you.
Your Daughter, Michele
Why was I cast out of Eden?
Was my sin so great?
Why won't anyone tell me what really happened?
