I have known all my life I was adopted. My imaginary friend as a child was an older boy I said was my brother, turns out I actualy have a biological brother 3 years my senior. I was raised as an only child and my adoptive mother turned out to have intense psychological problems so I never attached to her. I have a horrible need to know my birthfamily, when I think about it I feel a deep pited pain.
I have done a lot of leg work on my own, I have placed classified adds in the orland papers, gone through as many public records as I can. I have loads of non-id information, hospital, time of birth etc. But I have found all this to be useless information, I can't get anywhere without a name. I finaly hired a search company (PLEASE email me for information on this well advertised company if you are about to hire one!!!) and gave them a year. I had always had it in my mind that when I actualy hired a company I would reach the end of my search. Now I am so disheartened and I feel at the end of my rope. I don't have thousands of dollars to do this, I have a young baby and my husband is in the Army.
I was born in Orlando Florida through Children's Home Society. I need some more answers, there has just got to be a way to do this. Any support is welcome, thanks for taking the time to read my story.
