I got this letter in the mail awhile ago for my birthday.
E dictated to her mother what she wanted my birthday card to say.
In case you can’t read it, it says;
Happy Birthday Janessa,
You love everyone – parents and children. Happy Birthday to you, two cakes. You got married to Scott last year. And you love me Janessa, you do. I was in your stomach. Cause you love me, cause you love me. Happy Birthday to you. You love me – you didn’t get scared. Happy Birthday. to you. To Janessa. And I do love Janessa. You do love Scott.
Love, E.
This letter is beyond precious to me! I absolutely love it and tear up every time I read it. Not just because it is adorable and perfect, but because it shows me that she understands my choice & her adoption, as much as her almost 4-year-old brain can.
Because this letter means so much to me, I hesitated to share it. But I want expectant mothers and fresh birthmothers to see the hope. I have dreamed of my relationship being this great, and my daughter knowing that I love her, soo many times. To see that my hopes are actually realities now is so amazing to me.
She also made me a necklace with lots of cute colored beads on it, which I love and is hanging on my fridge, next to this letter. ---->
Isn’t she lovely?

Oh my goodness! What a special and precious card! Thank you thank you for sharing something so personal and touching. It is my daughter's first birthday today and I was really nervous how it would go. Reading this lets me know that she will understand my decision some day (sooner rather than later, I see!) and that the choice I made out of love will be recognized as just that. She is very, very lovely indeed!
overwhelmingly precious--brought tears to my eyes!
I found your blog on Birthmothers For Adoption...
What a beautiful letter! How precious to you! Open adoption is incredible!
