[EMB362]

I am trying to find my birthmother/father... I was born in Huntsville, AL on March 13, 1980,and placed for adoption on May 13, 1980 through Catholic Family Services in Huntsville. I am not too sure on all the details of my mother, I had contact with her parents (my biological grandparents Dr. Oskar M.& Katharina Essenwanger) back in 1999, I have done some research on the internet and I found out that her mother died 12/11/03, and that her father is/was a professer at UAH and that he remarried shortly after her mothers death to another German lady , I know more about my grandparents than I do about my Birthmother and even less (nothing) about my BF.....all I know is that she was 18 when she had me,and that her parents didn't approve of my father, I think that her name is Mary, I am sure that her last name (Maiden name) is Essenwanger, and that she is married and has not told her husband about me, at least that is what her parents told me. I don't think that she lives in Alabama anymore.She was also adopted (out of Germany I believe). I know that my details are sort of sketchy, but I have wanted to know her for so long that I don't know where to begin. If she doesn't want to meet me I would at least like to have a picture so that I can see what she looks like. I heard that she has moved on with her life and that she doesn't want anything to do with me, but having put 2 kids up for adoption myself I find it hard to believe that a mother could feel that way toward her child. I just want some closure I have felt confused and lost since around the age of 13, as I am sure most adoptees do. PLEASE, if anyone knows anything let me know
