I personally believe your choice was more difficult. I have reconciled my decision and am at peace. We all need to understand grace, unmerited favor. We all live under grace. You did receive the best gift. Thanks for sharing.

I am so happy for you I have tears in my eyes. I'm around your age and I remember those "homes." Something right out of Dickens, thank goodness our society has changed attitudes for the most part.

Vickie, you are one one of the Fortunate Ones ! So happy for you.

@After my Adoptive Mom & Dad died (in the 1980s), my Adoptive records were left for me, by my Dad. My Hubby did an extensive search, based on her name, and he located/called her in 2005. She called him back @ his work #, and had a brief convo with him. She denied being my Birth Mom -- and she had 2 other children that apparently she didn't want me (her firstborn) to meet.

I had to respect her rejection of me....my Bio-Dad was in his 60s (with a grown Family) when I was conceived, and she was 22. So, I keep SMH about that New Years Party...OYYYY! I'm sure that he passed along time ago.

She has since passed, and I do not wish to open any avenues with my half/siblings with them, since they are probably unaware of their Mom's giving birth to me. They have their memories....I don't (since I was in Foster Care) until I was 15 months old, but my Adoptive Family (and my 2 Adoptive Brothers) made me feel secure and loved.

@maryebrown ... I am so sorry your birth mother denied or admitted that you were her daughter. It sounds like your adopted parents were able to show and give the love you deserve.

OP, What a wonderful Christmas Eve for you! I'm sorry you found yourself in that position in the 60s. I greatly admire you for putting the interests of your child above your own. What a selfless act! I'm sure your daughter is wise enough to understand that! I wish you and your daughter the best, moving forward! Hugs!!!
