[Johnson cy baby]

Rebecca,

My heart skipped a beat when I saw your post. First, because I had not figured out why I ended up in Johnson City at birth until the discovery of Springer. Second, I felt a little relief knowing that I wasn't the record holder for taking 39 years to discover, all on my own, that my arrival into this life was the first of many secrets kept from me. Second of four daughters to a young couple, It would defy logic to even question my birth. I would love to know how the legal/medical and transfer of a child was handled to start accepting that this is a reality. I also wonder if Wilson Memorial Hospital worked in some fashion with Springer. My copied record of birth only shows the town. I hope I can soften the hurt you stuff in the back of your heart in sharing that, not all parents believe that knowing the truth is important. My parents devoted every ounce of effort to keeping the secret sacred. I also hope that there is another birth parent with the same committment and devotion to never give up that you so beautifully demonstrate. I thank you for any insight.
