Every year I tell myself that I am going to get serious about finding my mother. Another year has gone by, still no Mother. I wonder if she thinks about me on my birthday.

Happy late birthday this year! I wonder the same thing every birthday myself. I just celebrated 44 a couple weeks ago. Keep the faith, take care of yourself and do what you need to do for YOU!
Take care,
Beth

I am sure she does think of you and more than just on your birthday... I have four bio kids and I could never for get the days they were born...

I say aggressively seek your birthmoms and dads out.. I relinquished in 1965 and just knowing he is okay helped me such a lot..
Some of us were shown and told all the wrong things when we relinquished in those years.. No grief.. no therapy just hide it away..

And some of us married into relationships that were difficult because we did not know how to seek emotional help and look for intimacy in our lives..

Some women (I am sure men as well) never told their mates about relinqishing and have learned to forget..

I honestly forgot his birthdate and it was real hard finally facing that day.. finally acknowledging that he was born on that day..

Soooo if they are still in hiding and do not want contact at least they know what happened.. a gift.

The way it was done back then was wrong and IMO we all suffer the consequences. Adoptive parents included.. they were told to lie.. some of them..
