God's blessings Hanbanana in your search for your birth mother. It can be a rollercoaster of a journey! I pray you find answers and support from others as you navigate this new journey. God's timing is perfect in these things, that is what I found in my search and reunion with my 3 birth sisters.
Blessings, Jody
PS. And Gretchen, I pray you will find your daughter too and be blessed by a face to face reunion! Hold on to Hope!
