Adoption kudos

To the editor:

Cindy Barclay is very elegant in her expression of gratitude to her birth mother (Journal-World, Oct. 1). But we are witnesses to how great is the love of a birth mother in adoption – not only to her child, but to the expanded family. We are the grandparents of six adopted children. We daily are in gratitude and thanks for their unselfish love to their child to place him/her in an adoptive family. Our entire family values each of them and let them know constantly of the love of their birth parents. Thank you to all who support adoption.

Mike and Mary Easterday,
