If your name is Grace, you were adopted, and you're around 17 right now, then I may be your birth father. It was an open adoption, but due to some problems on my part, my contact with you was limited. I didn't know what to say at first, and by the time I did, it upset you when I sent letters, or so I was told.
Anyway, you've met your birth mother, Kristin. She's a cool lady. I'm jealous you two met, though. Wish I could have been there.
Anyway, the count right now from me is 7 brothers and sisters. I'm married, happy, being a dad. I know you're coming up on (maybe passed) age 17. My memory is horrible, so sorry. I hope you'll try to get in touch. Send me an email through this if you see it.
If you know someone like this, let them know about this. I won't post here unless I move, but I'll watch for an alert to my email.
I love you, Grace. I wish you nothing but happiness.
