[Ann Myre]

I swear I'm losing hope of ever finding my daughter. I don't mean to sound like a crybaby but I don't know what else to do. I guess anyone who is looking can understand, anyways lol. My daughter was born in April of 1983 in Michigan. I miss and love her very much. I was 16 at the time of her birth. I was young but I wish I could have kept her. I love you sweetie, I always have.
