It was a huge, earth shattering realization and for the first time I recognized that I had another mother. The woman who gave birth to me. The woman who put me up for adoption. The woman who gave me away. For the first time, I allowed myself to feel the heart wrenching pangs of grief and loss that for nearly 40 years I suppressed.
