Hi, I just found this site, man, how I wish I had you in 1992!!! I found out I was adopted when I was about 8 years old(I was born in 1949). My adopted mother would get drunk and argue with my adopted dad, saying things like you never wanted her when I went and brought her home, and she is going to turn just like her. And unlike children of today, I knew I was not to say anything. So, I held it inside of. There were very few people I confided in, because I thought it was a big taboo. But as I got older, I never held any resentment toward my bio mom, I figured it must have seem like the right thing for her to do at the time. And of course, after I found her, I was right.
In 1992, thanks to my significate other, who backed me 110% in finding my bio family, and a gut feeling I had, I called one of my adoptive father's brother, and sure enough, they knew alot and invited me into their home and helped me all the way. With there help and some very underhanded detective work on my part, I found my bio mom. I then found out I had 2 half sisters and a full brother. Me---an only child for all those years. Things were great. Until 2001. Reallly, 1999, that is the year my brother died from heart problems at 52. But in 2001, was the last contact I had with my sister, whom I thought was going to be in my heart forever. But for some reason, her and her family have nothing to do with me. I have called and written every year since then. But I have no idea what went wrong and she will no answer me. Her daughter even named her daughter after me. An honor I never dreamed would happen.
I don't know if anyone is going thru or have gone thru anything similiar, but I am hoping to make contact with someone or someones who has had similiar experence.
Thank you
