    Yes  I agree i found my daughter after 32 years . Or she found me it was quite a meeting . We love each other , and we stay in contact . But not as much as before she lives away from me and we call each other every so often . But never had the chance to really spend any time together . She has now given me five great grand children . Hoping to get chance to go meet them this spring.  With things so high and we are on Ret. My husband is old noqw and had stroke and we can't seem to get there yet . I am 67 and hsve had a hard time this year . But do know I hope to get up to see them this summer.. We love each other tho and do stay in touch. I am thank full for that .

HI, while I love my family very much and they are the only family I know I feel I have a right to know my biological family.  I have always wanted to know ever since I can remember. I was told at a very young age that I was adopted. My family was/is loving and kind. Both adoptive parents have passed away.

I was born 04/12/1960, Sheila Marie Lane, Booth Memorial Hosp Queens, NY, My bmom was 22 at the time of my birth. I was adopted through Talbot Perkins Adoption Agency in NYC.  I am registered with Albany DOH and rec'd non identifying info which wasn't much help, I found out she was 22 and I am caucasion (as if that was a shock!) I am also registered with ISRR and all other regerstries I have been able to find. Any info I would be enternally grateful.

Thank you

Dear Amanda,

For some reason, I thought you were on another board a long, long time ago and we had talked. Anyway, I used to go to Truth Seekers and it was in Park Ridge, IL. I don't know if they have that near you, but that helped me a lot!!! I went for a year to prepare myself to find my son. After that, a Private Investigator used by Truth Seekers found him for me at a minimal fee in a day!! He was living in Colorada at the time and it took another year of great e-mails to finally meet him. I guess we were both very scared. But all worth it. What a relief  !!!!  This whole thing started  in 1998 (I think). We used to keep in touch more, but I realize he has his own life and so do I. It's been shaky and it's been great. It definitely did have a huge impact on me. I was so happy he was alive and well. That was all I wanted in the beginning. Then I couldn't talk to him enough. Everything has died down. He married in April and wrote me in July or Aug. So we do not go to any family functions at all with each other.  So you see, it is a slow process learning all of this, but that's how I did it.

I thought maybe if you could find Truth Seekers in your area, you may want to hook up with them and go to some meetings. It definitely prepared me for what was to come.

There wasn't a day after he was born that I didn't think about him. I gave him up (with no choice at the time) with a ton of love and wished so hard I could have kept him. I was only 17 and now I see after raising my own, it would have been impossible.

Take care Amanda and I am rooting for you!!
