Daughter's search for her mother

Madam, – Good news! I want to thank the Editor for publishing my letter on July 19th

Madam, – Good news! I want to thank the Editor for publishing my letter on July 19th. And I wish to also thank all the kind people who, as a result of reading that letter, came to my aid by phoning and writing (letters and email) – some telling their stories, sending good wishes and suggestions that might help in my search for my birth mother. All of this helped to bring me to this day, where I find myself giving thanks because I recently found my family – although unfortunately my birth mother had passed away.

My daughter and son and their children now know their roots. It is truly a special time for them and me. I am so grateful, and hope that others in similar situations will have success, soon. I’d urge them to never give up. Thank you all so much – again and again. – Yours, etc,
