I have searched for so many years. She will be 25 years old Sunday, and we both have been searching for each other. Our prayers were answered last night. We talked until midnight, she is wonderful, and has a great parents, who are devotee Christians. She has a different first name also. Natallie is that not beautiful!We live less than 45 min. apart and she is coming Monday with her husband. She looks just like me, and sounds like me! Praise God for His mercy!!!! She wants to be part of our family and I am so blessed. I told her about the medical history so she can be tested and take precautions. Thank God she has been basically healthy. Thank you all for your help and prayers. I searched 2 hours a day and would read 350 post from adoptees' a day. Praise God!!! He is an awesome God! I will remember you all and will keep trying help each of you also, as I was doing as read the post and would find similarities. My heart is so full of joy that I can not even begin to thank God enough. My Mother is very ill, and the chemo is not working, but last night she talked on the phone to her second grandchild. She was so happy!!!!!!! I will post again after Monday and again thank you all!!!!!!

Hi all,
Sorry I have not posted as quickly as I said I would. My beautiful (Cathy Renna) to me always, is truly a blessing. She embraced us all with open arms and a heart full of love. We talk almost everyday and am planning to spend Saturday with her and her husband if all works as planned and is God's will. It was as if she had come home from a long trip. The feelings from all are so natural and comfortable. In one of her letters to me, she wrote of asking her mother why I had not wanted her, and had gave her away. I am blessed to be able to tell her how much I have always loved her and the circumstances involved. She will see my oncologist in a few days, and I ask each of you to pray that she does not have the disease that has wrecked my body. If she does though, I am so grateful to be able to tell her before she had complications from it. Each child that is adopteed needs to know the answers to their questions, and that is why we must help each other to find each one because, one at a time is making a dent in the numerous searches. I am sorry for not being on the net for the past couple of days, I have had some rough days physically and have selfishly been enjoying my time with my birth daughter. I am working on a couple of leads today for a lady that is searching for her son, please remember D. in your prayers today, she is losing hope, and one must never do that or all is in vain, and your loved one could be searching just as hard. Any way possiable to keep this site open should be done. I relly beleive we must work together to accomplish these dreams. Until next time God Bless All
