Don't be Sad!!!

Quote From: tam_116

Reading this message board is making me sad.  I have been searching for my birth parents for a few years now.  I discovered my birth father is dead, he died in another province and I can not even find out how or when he died.  the agency has his name and information, but they can not share it with me.  The same goes with my birth mother, they have her name, but they can not find her, I believe they simply are not looking hard enough, nor do they care to put the slightest amount of effort into searching.   

  

Seeing all these people who are searching just reminds me how I am not alone in my frustration and longing.   

Hi my name is Julie, I too was adopted and I have searched for my mother.  I live in Australia so the rules here are very different, I was extremely lucky and have found her and we now have a great relationship.  I haven't found my father and have only recently found out his name and have been given permission to find him.  Please don't give up hope.  I have had friends who have had similar situations as yours but any information any of us find out about where we come from is a piece of our own unique puzzle.  I found that my mother was from another country and I now have medical history, a cousin, an aunt, a sister and a grandmother and I can tell you that it does make a difference in my life.  I have two children who now have a grandmother and that is special.  If you can find out your mothers name try every agency you can to find her.  There are internet based searches and many many organisations all over the world......try them all if you have to. I wish you all the luck in the world and let me know if you succeed.  Take Care!!!  Juliexx

What province are you in??  Can you get records from the govt? In BC records are unsealed and you have a right to them.

Hang in there, i searched for 49 years before i found my son. I give up many times, hit too many dead ends.had many people that could help,but  was not interested, wasted lots of money on the so called search companies.

  Had dreams about my son,many questions in my mind . I was a wreck. But i refused to give up.I had very little info because my son was born in Germany and i was shipped back to the U.S. when he was only three days old.. Now 49 years later,i had a very pleasent talk with his mother whom i have not heard from in 49 years.We are now working on a way to break the news to Bill. I am so excitied, but scared that this  may not have a happy ending. But whatever happen,s, Bill will know that his real father never gave up

  So as you can see it,s very possible that on this day, your parents  may be searching for you
