I was born on June 27th 1969 in Buffalo, New york to a young mother who was only 16 years of age at the time. All I was told is that my name was Thomas at birth. I was born at Mercy hospital in Buffalo, New York and was adopted through Catholic Charities in Buffalo, New York. If your reading this mom you came to see me while I was in foster care and bought me an outfit. However you remained firm on your decision and surrendered me on August 22nd 1969. I was adpoted by a couple Rose and Bob. I am now 39 years of age, and I really want to find my birth mother or anyone who may know her or any of her family. Ever since I was told that I was adopted I have had this desire to meet my birth mother, and know who I am and where I came from. I just want to meet her even if once just to see who she is, and know that I at least got the chance to reunite with my biological mom. I understand that she was young, and could not tend to a young baby at that age in those times, but I am older now, and I just want to be able to unite with her. I am married now and have children and it's hard when a part of you is missing. What do you tell your children when they come to you about your family tree? I have been through so much in my life, and just want to finally find some part of me to make my life complete. My wife is the one trying to make this happen for me by pursuing the matter, and finding this one thing that would make everything so right in my life. She has been working so hard to research everything that she can to bring me and my birth mother/ family together. I think she agonizes over this just as much as I do. All of my life I have looked at different women and have wondered is that you mom? Is that you dad? Are these any of my siblings, or cousins, or any part of my family? Being adopted can be a wonderful thing, but for the child who has been given away it leaves an empty blank in your heart. You wonder WHY?, WHY?, WHY all the time. And while some people have had great adoptive parents others just want to know who they are and they want to unite with their family and find their roots. So if you are reading this mom..............Please contact me. I am in the New York State Registry. Please register there so that we can unite. Any of my biological family can register. I won't feel at peace until I find my biological family. Even if it's just a sibling. We have alot of catching up to do. I have had a rough life thus far and need to finally be able to give my mom a hug and tell her that I now feel safe. I know that sometimes people don't want to open up a can of worms like this and bring up the past. But if my mom is out there and I can just see her and talk to her I would feel so much better. I am not trying to cause you any pain in the life that you went on with. I would just like to see other parts of me and where I originated from. I pray that I find my mom or family somehow on here. You can E-mail me at CassElliot1965@Aol.com. Or contact me here on this site. I will always be checking. LOVE. PEACE, and UNITY. I was a child of the 60's. With love Dave S.
