I wish you luck, I also am one of those children the state took away, with no explanation as to why, or if there where siblings. I am from Michigan, Just started my search in oct. 2000. But I know it would cut down on searching if they had a board just for the children taken away by the state. Good Luck and God Bless!

I also seen on how many kids are in the system and they are not doing anything to get them adopted.My one ? is did you have a good life with the people who adopted you? and do you know where your family was from? if so look at the library. I have a friend who was adopted out from the state and she found her mom 3 years ago and is now living up 4 hours away from her adopted family the people who adopted her are sad but yet happy that she has the chance to get to know her mom and her sibilings.I have seen so much from my parents being foster parents that it makes me really sad to see the kids of the state move from home to home. Then they wonder why they have problems of emotions. Well enough about me ramling on and on good luck to you and thank you for listening to me.

I'm with all of you...I have left the state of W.V. Where the children were taken. I got a lawyer...Dead end...Last step made was to call the DHHR of Beckley, W.V. and leave my personal info and pray to God above that they will contact me ASAP. Patiently waiting. And not giving up hope!!!
