Letters to youIntegrative

Tell them about the day they arrived.

Why this question

Written to them, not about them: 'You came on a Tuesday. It was raining. Your grandmother cried on the phone.'

Where it leads

Tell it the way you'd want to hear your own arrival told — true, warm, and theirs.

If your child came by adoption or surrogacy

However they arrived — birth, adoption, surrogacy — this is the letter version of that story, addressed straight to them.
