John,
I too was adopted in Pratt in 1962. Dr. C V Black also handled my birth. Actually, I think that he did every adoption in Pratt during the 60's. He had a reputation statewide for doing that.
I'm glad that you found your birth mom I also found my birth mom the same way that you did. Thank God that Kansas has open records for those of us who want to know.
How did things go with the Pratt Hospital? Did they find the records about your birth? If you had any luck, I may try to secure mine also.
I am currently seeking a brother that was adopted. My mother passed away recently and my sister and I did not know about this brother until after her death.
Please remember that no matter what happens between you and your mother, at least you had the chance to talk to her. I do hope that things work out and you recieve what you're looking for.
