(My letter that ran in Wed.'s Star-Telegram):

Thanks for remembering
Thank you so much for running the Mother's Day story "Adoptive parents offer thanks to mom, wherever she may be."
I'm a birth mom who placed my daughter for adoption in 2000. Although I get to see her twice a year, Mother's Day is still very hard for me, as it is for all birth moms. Thanks for remembering us in your paper on this holiday.
