"Yes, I do think that you should write to him," Giles answered, choosing to bypass the muttered answer. "As far as encouraging him to come after you, I don't believe that is your choice. Children will do what they choose to do, and when it comes to finding their real parents, they're far more of a genius than we ever give them credit for being. Connor already knows you, Angel, and he already knows how you feel about him. And he already knows where to find you if he should want. The only question is when he will come and see you again, and if he will stay. A letter is a balance between those things; it's an open channel between you and your son, a way to let him know that you want to be in contact with him, but feel his life should come first. Only you know how to truly word what is in your heart, but no matter what you say, your son will know you wanted only the best for him."
