Woman shares heartfelt letter her adopted mom had written to her biological mother
The letter was written when the woman was approaching her 19th birthday.
A woman shared a heartening letter her adopted mother wrote to her biological mother when she was a teen and it made netizens emotional. The woman named Amy took to microblogging website X, previously Twitter, to share a photo of the letter.
The letter stated, “Amy approaches her 19th birthday. She has matriculated, has her driving license and has grown into a beautiful, colourful and talented young woman. She is becoming increasingly independent. Should she ever make the decision to seek you, I want you to know that I have thought of you often over these 19 years and offered many prayers for you, wishing I could communicate the joy she has been to us…her beauty and her wellbeing.”
Amy’s parents had adopted a boy first who they named Tim. When Tim was three years old, they adopted Amy. “I will always be aware of the pain you will have experienced at the separation from your baby and the enormously unselfish decision you made to have her adopted. There will always be deep gratitude to you for she has given both Derek and I unbelievable pride and joy,” she further wrote in the letter.
“Just found an envelope of my adoption documents, much of which I’d never seen before. This letter from my mom to my birth mother… I am a MESS,” Amy wrote as caption.

She also shared a photo of herself from childhood along with her mother and brother. “As this is gaining some traction, thought I’d tell you about my mom. She would tell me as a child that, ‘you weren’t made in my womb but in my heart’ and reminded me every week that I was chosen. She had a deep Christian faith which makes sense given that she was an actual angel,” she wrote in another post.
