“What’s Jane’s agenda?” my
surrendered daughter, Rebecca, told me her adoptive mother, Norma, had asked. After an eleven year search, Rebecca found me in 1997. In April of 1998, Rebecca let
me know she was coming to the west coast from her home near Chicago to visit her adoptive parents who lived
near San Francisco. She needed to reassure them, she explained. (No need to
fill in what she was reassuring them about.) Would it be okay if she came to my
home in Salem, Oregon for a couple of days while she was on the west coast? Of course I was delighted to say “yes.”
I picked her up at the
Portland airport. It was a beautiful spring day and I suggested we do a quick tour of Portland before driving to Salem. After we walked around downtown, we stopped for lunch at a popular restaurant on the Willamette River which bisects Portland.
