That's such a great question, jennings. And a tough one to answer. I would have to say that I had so many moments of regret over the years, but the emotion was always tempered by the possible reality that the young girl I was could not have kept the baby and done right by her, or kept sane. I say possible reality because I just don't know. I might have been wonderful, victorious, best mom ever. I will never know. When I met her, the overwhelming emotions were love and relief. I finally knew that she was okay after all of those years of worry.

All I can do now is be the best person I can be, try to live moment to moment. I am so glad that she wanted to meet me, and gladder still that she wanted to continue to build a relationship.
