I've gotten my file from court, as far as what they had record wise with regards to my adoption, and it says a bunch of nothing! It does list the parents names, however, I don't believe the birth mother's name is right. On the birth index, it lists me as "Infant of" James Spence, with no mother's information. In my court file, I am identified only as Baby Girl Spence. I have only a...

Dickons - You always have such well written posts :) I think the answer would be primarily how similar our genetic make up is, but it would be also cool to see if we had common ancestors.

I hope you have found some answers since you posted this concern. I have a son your sons age, from Guatemala. He has been home 3 years. (From an orphanage). We did have a bit of up and down time with discussions of color. It is normal...(he also still has attachment disorder so we are in counseling). Please get someone to talk to your son. Any child who even one time verbalizes they want to die,...

Hi! My name is Carla, I was born 4/1/67, in Harris County Texas! My file identifies me as Baby Girl Spence, and states that 4 older children were placed by a court in Chicago prior to 1967. Please, if you know or are James Spence, please get in contact with me. I do want you to know that I'm not mad, upset nor do I want anything more than the chance to get to know you, and possibly learn some...

Suze, I think all those years my sibs and I were mainly Type 1 tattling when our parents assumed we were Type 2 LOL!

I'm new to this forum but just now starting our homestudy process. I have a 2002 misdemeanor for disorderly conduct and have been asked to provide a police report. What I'm worried about is if this will cause my homestudy to be denied - it started out as an arrest for simple assault for domestic. (I'm not sure if the charge includes domestic but the report will mention it) My wife and I were...

Is anyone who is looking for birth parent information aware of any pending changes in vital record laws in Nebraska? I am awaiting the death of birth mom to get records. Not a very satisfactory outcome.

I was born April 28, 1980 in Moline, IL. I was adopted in September of 1983 through Lutheran Social Services along with my half sister Ashley who was born May 8, 1983. Anyone have any info???

I haven’t been on this site in a long time. Our adoption went through in September and things have been really good with our little girl. We were even talking to our attachment therapist about discontinuing therapy, but then the holidays hit, and I started travelling for work and working late. We got lazy with our parenting, and boy did we pay for it! All of our daughter’s behaviors came out...

I use it. Have not thought about it for anyone else but maybe the baby could use i to chill and sleep! Will talk to his pedi next time we go in. I'm not so sure about it taking weeks to work, never heard that but mine works after I take it. I dont get loopy or doped I just relax and it's easier for my brain to sorta shut down and I can drift off faster and get a better nights sleep. I like it.
