Adoption reunion

To the editor:

I’m so glad to read this story (“Foreign student helps resident reconnect with Brazilian roots,” Journal-World, Feb. 17). My 13-year-old son, (whom I adopted at age 3 months old) and I traveled to Brazil in August 2004 to reunite with his birth family! 2004 must have been a good year for adoption reunions in Brazil.
