Dear Lisa, I have read your letter on the internet and I know just how you feel. I had to give my little baby up 24 years ago because I was only 17 and my parents would not allow my boyfriend and I to marry.
When my baby was about a year old the adoption agency sent me two photos of her sitting in her garden with a teddy and she looked so adorable. I carry these photos with me always and wonder how she has turned out.
My boyfriend and I did marry four years after she was born and we now have three teenage daughters. So I would really love to meet her and let her know that she has three full blooded sisters. I hope all our dreams will come true one day.
Regards, Leona
