You've made me cry
Hi all.
I've just read all of these postings and began to cry. I was always hopeful that my son will be able to find me - in fact, my LDSSS case worker told me that all I have to do is contact them when my son is of age and they will handle the reunion - is this a crock of sh*t? I guess I am lucky in the fact that Oregon (his birthplace) has the ability for adoptees to get original birth certificates when they are 18.
I had a baby in 1988 and was forced by my mom and church leaders to give the baby up - in fact, I found out years later that the adoption was illegal and I could have sued. But at that point my son was 5 or 6 years old and it would have traumatized him so I left him alone.
One year ago on his birthday, July 27th - my son found his way to this site and sent me a message. Unfortunately, the LDS Social Services caught wind of it and contacted his parents and they stopped the contact.
He just turned 17 and I hope in a year he does find me. I look at every teenage boy and wonder if it's him.
Goodluck to all of you going through the same thing as I am. I wish you all the best and will keep you in my thoughts.
Debbie
