Thanks for the information. I don't know anything about the family she was placed with. Never got to meet them or anything. I placed through Catholic Charities. I contacted them in 1996 when my son was born with serious kidney disease which resulted in a transplant. I wanted to make sure her family had the medical information so that they could get her checked specifically for kidney problems. It does not run in our family anywhere, but my son has it. I have printed the ISRR form and plan to send it out today. I have contacted the Illinois Adoption Registry and have been registered for at least a year there. I guess I need to call Catholic Charities again and see if I can get any non-identifying information. The Illinois Adoption Registry said that I cannot contact her at all and that she has to search for me. They said that she can't even do that until she is 21 without her parents' permission. I've waited 19 long years, I can wait 2 more. But when I think of all the things I've missed--her first tooth, learning to walk, her first words--I don't want to miss another day (let alone another 2 YEARS) of her life.
