What To Say
Its odd. I'm usually pretty good at writing letters. Definitely better at conveying what I need to say in writing than I am on the phone or face to face. I'm having a really hard time though figuring out how to jump into this one though. Or maybe it's just the fear of being rejected. Again.

There are probably some how-to letters on the net from other adoptees.
OK, here's my lame suggestion:
Dear ____,
My name is ______, and I was born on _____ in _____. A wonderful family adopted me, and throughout my childhood, I never minded being adopted. More recently, I've become curious about my birth parents. To come right to the point: I am wondering if you might be my mother.
(reasons for thinking this)
Although I'm terrified of being rejected by my birth mother, I need to reach out. My contact information is below....
