finding my birthfamily
my quest started 5 yrs ago to find an older sister.It had bothered me all my life that I had a sibling out there whom I didnt know.But surprises were in store....
Last year i found a sibling,who like myself ,was put up for adoption in England back in the 60's.she was a younger sibling I had known nothing about.Anyway ,we pooled information and with what I had i was able to trace my birthmother to new mexico.Not knowing her new last name,I was stuck.Even her ex husband couldn't help me as he had not been in contact for years.
Well this past Christmas eve,my half brother called me and the wait was over.Thanks to the ex husband(his dad) contacting him I have now found not only my older sister but all the rest of my siblings including my birth mom.I have talked to my older sis who was the only one who knew about me and the other adoptee.I have a total of 8 siblings when I thought I only had one.We plan on meeting soon and I am both excited and overwhelmed that this search has been successful.
my parents and sister have been totally supportive in my quest to find my roots.My next project is to get my dad's name and find him.
This is for both medical and emotional reasons.
Stay tuned for updates!!
