Stumbling through the first mother/adoptee maze

I'm trying to be on vacation with my family who are visiting from Michigan, and so I'm posting as a fresh blog post a comment from an adoptee, Tamara, and my response.

Lorraine,

Let me begin by saying I have the utmost respect for you, for your truth and your courage and your writing. I have gained unfathomable insights from your blog, and from your writings and insights. As an adoptee who found her mother too late (she had already passed) you and Jane and your contributors have helped me "know" my mother.
