At nineteen years old, Anne E. Mortensen faced a decision that would remain with her for the next thirty-three years.
Pregnant, frightened, and unable to see what her future might hold, Anne made the heartbreaking decision to place her newborn son for adoption. She believed she was giving him something she could not yet provide—a chance for a stable and loving life.
She held her baby for only a few precious minutes. She counted his fingers and toes, kissed his tiny head, and made a promise in her heart that someday, if she could, she would try to find him.
Then she let him go.
Life moved forward, but Anne never forgot the son she had named Michael. The years that followed brought struggles, painful choices, new beginnings, faith, love, marriage, family, and a life very different from anything that frightened nineteen-year-old could have imagined.
More than three decades later, the impossible happened.
The child she had surrendered returned as a grown man named Gil—with a wife, children, and an entire branch of a family Anne never knew she would have.
When mother and son finally stood face-to-face, he wrapped his arms around her and spoke six words that brought their thirty-three-year journey full circle:
“Thank you for letting me live.”
Thank You for Letting Me Live is an intimate true story of adoption and reunion, but its message reaches far beyond adoption. It is a story of choices and consequences, sacrifice and forgiveness, faith and redemption, family and second chances—and the extraordinary possibilities that may exist beyond our darkest moments.
For anyone who has ever faced a life-changing decision while unable to see beyond the circumstances immediately in front of them, Anne's story offers a powerful reminder:
What you see in front of you today is not the rest of your life.
