Hello, my friend. You are doing a splendid job of relating this story, Ulla. Your writing is inspirational for any out there who are in search of a parent or parents. I think I told you I was raised in foster homes and orphanages until I was 17. I can relate in many ways;

""To be honest, it freaked me out. I can't say that I had forgotten about you, Ulla, but I had sort of put it all into a compartment that I didn't visit, but this brought it all back. I was shaken to the core." (Good solid writing)

Blesssings and Merry Christmas! X Bob

This is an interesting post that the author has created with this piece of writing. This is a sad story and luckily, I have never had to contend with any of this. This story is an eye-opener and it reminds me of the move 'Philomena'.

Hi, Ulla

= Oh, jeeze! What a cliffhanger you left!
= And she had just married.
= Oh, her mother didn't hold it back until after she married did she?
= That would be nasty business.
= Super chapter. (*<*)

* Merry Christmas to you and yours*

Cheers & Blessings...

Oh,My goodness, Ulla... what anxiety you must've felt! Your mother also at the time of the letter no doubt. this must have been such an emotional time for you, I'm sure. I can't wait for the next part. Giddy

Another interesting chapter. Of course, I am very curious as to what the letter says. I will have to wait for the next post to find out.

Wow, so maybe I was correct, she did hide the letters from your mother. That would be so mean. Guess I will find out with the next post. I'm glad you had a happy childhood with your adoptive parents, it doesn't work out that way for everyone.

    I'll never understand how some individuals think they have a right to alter the destine of others but sadly it happens far too often.

    You are so right, I couldn't agree more, and I can assure you my mother would have agreed with you as well. All best Ulla

So far this is proving to be a riveting read!
The end had me worried. Did your grandmother hide the American's love letters from your mother? I really want to know! I sure hope not, because that would be terrible. I'm looking forward to reading the next chapter.

Suggestions:
It was right under the surface, yet it stubbornly stayed underneath as if prevented from coming up and catch a breath.

I could easily have denied to do it,

Finding My Roots "The Quest Part Sixteen" This is a very good part in your book about finding your roots. A great story so far and of course I'm wondering what is in that letter. Very well done.
