Alyssa,
My name is Jo Peet, my full maiden name is, Joanne Caterina O'Gara. Yes, I had a baby girl April 6, 1984, that I gave up for adoption. There's no doubt in my mind, or my heart that you are her.
I don't know what to say from here on. There is so much.
I'm embarressed to say that the incredible fear I have of being a huge disappointment to you, is makIng it difficult to know what to say at all. Then the even more paralysing fear that all you might be interseted in is facts etc. The thought that you may not be concerned with anything personal and not want to invest yourself enough to be disappointed is even worse.
Then as I read this I realise I'm beginning to ramble, because I don't know what to say. Now I'm all the more afraid, because without ever having met me, you'll know what a " neurotic head case " I am. I'm sorry. Please forgive my ineptness.
If you wish to contact me -
jo.c.peet@gmail.com. I look forward to hearing from you.
Always,
Jo
