[quote=Anonymous]OP here again - I assure you I harbor no guilt. Giving a child to a family that is better equipped to offer the child a better life is natural and as old as human civilization.

I figure I will probably be able find some way of sending an open letter to her via a 3rd party- with some brief information about myself, my health, and include my email address for further contact if she has more questions.

I do feel badly about not being ready to "deal" at the time she attempted to contact me previously. I really had not thought at all about contact, as I  literally had sealed that envelope. I have had 5+ years to  think about it now and feel better prepared.

I was not offering to merely share photos via FB; it seemed like an opening and a way for her to view photos of me without having to make personal contact if she didn't really want to.  I know that adopted children get curious about the health/genetic traits of their birth parents.

I am not able to find contact info for her outside of FB. Also, at one point, i saw that she was FB "friends" with the birth father! So that's why i considered FB. However I have decided to  proceed through a 3rd party.

I do appreciate all the feedback. it's been helpful - especially from people who have direct experience w/adoption.[/quote]
