Being a birthmother who gave up her child at birth because of financial 
difficulties, I am always hoping my son will someday try to get in touch
with me.  I do not, however, want him to EVER try to see his father.  I guess
my reasoning for this is that I feel that the father never really cared in the 
first place and even though this is not fair to him (the baby) I don't think
I could handle it.  I love him dearly and fortunately am allowed to receive
pictures of him occasionally through my adoption councellor.  The adoptive 
parents have a good feeling about me, and I about them.  (I was allowed to
choose them myself.)  I just can't wait unitl the day he turns 18.
