Campaign idea: Vicky writes to her daughter's adopter

Vicky struggled knowing someone else was raising her daughter, but annual letters built an unexpected bond with her adopter.

This story

When Vicky's daughter was adopted, she hesitated to maintain contact until her mother and support worker encouraged her to try. Meeting the adoptive mother face to face helped them connect, and they began exchanging letters once a year. Today, the adopter shares regular updates about her daughter's life, and the two write back and forth like friends.
