Letters To Her Biological Parents From Monique

​
A Letter From Monique To Her Biological Mother


Dear Mom,
 
Being Adopted is emotional life sentence, not knowing your identity. most Adoptees have so much love and sensitivity. We have been through depression, anxiety, Just because two people have never met, does not mean that love between the two don't exist.
 
What ever was the circumstance , many of us Adoptees have forgiven, but not forgotten our loss.
 
I personally want to say these words to a women that gave birth to me..
 
You are awesome... I forgive you... You had tremendous strength for giving me away.... I am so sorry that you had suffered in silence... You deserve to be recognized as my mother, even though you did not raise me, you brought me into this world, and gave me to a total stranger , in hope that I could receive what you felt you would be unable to provide for me.
 
No one has ever thanked you, for your unselfish love.
No one was there to guide you through after your hardest decision.
 
I want to thank you personally for making me strong , and by doing what you did.
 
The love I have for you, YES YOU! It is so strong.
 
I Pray that in your heart you will feel at peace with yourself, and remember no one has the right to judge you...Not even me. If you have passed on, please give me the opportunity to place a rose at you resting place, and await till we meet again someday.
 
From your biological daughter to my biological mother...I never knew. I love you!!
 
-Monique

I know that my place is not to judge, and I promise I won't !!!!

I am willing to receive you with open arms, please do not let your mind and heart feel troubled, but know I am here for you.

If you should have passed on, please I pray that you might of shared your deepest secrets to someone that could reconnect with me.

My promise to you if you were taken to be among the Angels, is to place a rose at at your resting place, in remembrance and respect for you, for accepting the many challenges that this may have caused you in your lifetime.
