Recently, my oldest adopted daughter reunited with her birth mother and it was a wonderful reunion. Sara and I are going to Iowa in November so that I can meet her biological family! We will be taking with us Sara's newborn daughter, whom she decided to keep rather than place for adoption after soul-searching for a long time, and my husband and I are helping her to raise little Katherine. Sara is a prodigal daughter is just recently returned home in August before her daughter's birth in September. I am like you in the sense of wanting to write a book because there IS so much to share to help others. Perhaps we can discuss this at some point in time - it would be interesting to hear your point of view as the biological mother and compare it to mine as an adopotive mother, plus both of us now in the midst of helping to raise our granddaughters. Who knows - maybe we could even co-author a book together! God bless you! Trish – You may remember me from our recent involvement together on the online SANITY support group.

I would throw out there that quite often authors use made up names....for the very reasons you mention. Praying with you as you seek the path that God would have you take.

It's me again. Oh, how I wish I knew the right way to go on this. There are pros and cons to writing a book just as there are to EVERY choice we make. My husband is famous for saying "The bad thing about choices is that you have to live with them." Bah! :-) Pray about it. And then pray some more. As long as it's not about personal gain and it glorifies God then that should be your decision. Only He knows your heart. I don't understand how people feel they have the right to judge you or anyone else for that matter. You are not the same person today that you were yesterday so how could you possibly be the same person that you were 2 decades ago? No one is. The great thing about our glorious God is that he gave us free will. If someone doesn't like what you have to say thay are *free* to stop reading. Hm... how 'bout that??? I'm done ranting... I just want people to understand that we should embrace each others differences and learn to love one another rather thanspend our time trying to tear each other down. Ephesians 4:32 NIV "Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." Your Sister in Christ, Delaney Trish,
