Hi
After searching for 8 yrs I have finally found my birthmother's sister and I am ready to make contact. I need advice on the letter I'm thinking about sending her. I'm not sure if there is too much information or if I should add more about myself, ect... If you could let me know what you think I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

Dear C---,
My name is M--- B--- (formerly a S---) and I am looking for a K--- L---- C-----. With the research I have done I believe this might be your sister. She was born ---- and grew up in -----. I was told she has one older sister and two younger brothers. I was also told she had a daughter named J--- that passed away when she was two years old. On ---- I was given up for adoption by a K---- L---- C----- and a G--- W-----. I have contacted G--- but he had little information on K---'s where abouts. My intentions are not to disrupt K's or her family's lives. I would just like her to know how grateful I am for her choosing to give me up, she gave me a wonderful life and I am truly blessed by her decision. Also if she is willing I would possibly like to get to know her, ever since I can remember I have been curious about her. If I have made a mistake and this is not your sister I am sorry for taking your time. However please let me know one way or another so I can continue on with my search. Thank you very much and have a wonderful day.

Sincerely M--- B----

I do found my birth aunt and sent her a letter a few years ago.

If you would like I can send you a copy of the letter that I sent to her.

Good Luck,

I did not tell my sister that I relinquished for a very long time.. she was cut out of the loop.. my mom and dad wanted my bson kept a secret and I complied..

Can you not ask if you can contact her sister?

Just a question and some birthmom info..

Hi Jackie
I would rather contact my bmom first however I have been looking for her for 8 years and can't find her. It's funny I have so much info on the rest of her family - who they've married, devoriced, occupations... But I can't connect the dots of my bmom's past to the present. I thought my bmom might have told her sister about the adoption becuase she too was young and already had a child at 19 also they were both pregnant at the time of my adoption, so I thought maybe the sister wouldn't look down on her like the rest of her family if that was the case. I do know that my bmom told her parents that I died after she gave birth to me. I'm in a delima not sure what to do, Ive had this info on the rest of her family for years and finally decided to try and make contact. I'm afraid if I let this sit then maybe I won't find her at all. I have tried alot of the search (fee) websites out there for info but never find anything new. It is possible that I can't find anything becuase she could be in jail and I"m not really sure how to search to see if she is, I know she had some legal problems around the time my adoption became offical. Anyways thanks for your inpute, I agree contacting her would be better, I'll probably sit on this for a while and hopefully find some clue to where she is. Thanks Jackie
