Hi! My name is Gina and I was adopted at birth to a wonderful woman who died 10 years ago. I have always been curious about my parents and my mother always told me that she would help if we (there are 4 of us she adopted) wanted to. And that was great but I was not REALLY curious until I had my son, and then as the years went on for me. I always told my self I had my mother and no one can ever take her place and that I was only interested becuase of medical resons that's what I told myself. But I knew there was more. The older I've gotten the more in tune with myself I am. When I lost my mother I lost the only thing that I had of me. She never married, so I didn't have a father to fall back on. She was my identity and now I don't feel like I really belong. Not even my son or my marriage could help, and I couldn't tell you how many times i've heard 'just think of us as your family', it's just not the same. Since my mother past on, my family broke up and I only talk to my brother. So In the last year or two I have been trying to find my mother, I have her name, her grandparents name and there old address. I thought I had found her not to long ago, but just resently I found out how old this lady was and she would have had to have me at age 6.
So I guessI'm back to square one again. Is there anyone that can give me some advice?
I thank whoever came up with the idea of a message board.
