I was adopted from Russia when I was 3 by an American couple. I had a pretty normal childhood; my three other siblings were my parents' biological children. My parents always said that they loved me as much as my other siblings, and I never doubted it.
Over these past few months, something really awful happened between my brother and they ultimately ended up taking his side. I was blamed for it, and they cut me off. They said they were going to throw away all of my personal things since I wasn't their daughter anymore, but I begged them to let me come get them after I was done with my finals. I only found out about the letter recently, and it makes me think they never would have made it known to me for their own selfish reasons.
I was able to get a box full of stuff, including the letter and my biological mother's baby blanket. Seeing my own mom's handwriting made me so emotional, and I have been holding the letter against my chest every night while I fall asleep. I have never felt more at peace to know how much she loved(loves) me, and I hope to meet her someday if possible.
