A Letter from Mom was written by the author to her son and daughter. It is a touching, inspiring, sad, and heart-warming missive addressing the needs of adopted children and adoptive parents.  It explores the feelings most birth-mothers experience, and attempts to explain to the child she gave up, how letting go was the hardest thing she ever did. Though she thought her child would have a better life without her, this sacrifice was the source of lifelong pain and sorrow.
