Okay, take a minute. Think about all the things you want to tell them. If you are not sure what to say start with the basics.(your likes and dislikes.). Tell about your life now, and what you hope to acomplish in the future. i know this sounds crazy but act like you are talking to your grandmother who has not seen you in a long time. Then if you start talking with them more write more personal things. Write what you feel comfortable writing. The more pressure you put on yourself, the more nervous and crazy it will make you. Dont be afraid to add into your letter just how confused you are about what you

I have been asked to write letters to my birth parents that can be givin to them once they are found by the case worker. I'm not sure what I should say, I don't want to overwhelm them by saying to much but also I don't want to seem cold by saying to little. If any one could help me I'd be greatful. Debra
