I have a new leader for my favorite story. It resonated with me because I'm adopted. A couple points hit me hard:
I know that the agency was sponsored by Catholic Charities - Yep
I didn’t want you to think I didn’t love you, so I searched for my birth parents without your knowledge - Been there, done that
My birth mother was 21 when I was born, but unmarried. Jamie never met his birth mother. For me it was the opposite, I never met my birth father. I knew who he was because birth mom told me, and knowing my birth siblings' last name. Now, my two moms never had a relationship, but they did meet, and they thanked each other for what the other did for me. By then, my adoptive dad was dead, like Jamie's adoptive mom.
SA, to quote Bill & Ted - "Excellent!"
