For the sole purpose of letting her know that there isn't a day that goes by that she isn't thought of. If you are her, or believe you are her and aren't interested in contacting your birth mother -- that's 100% your choice. I am here to let you know that if you do want to, you would be welcomed with open arms, and respected along with your loving family.

A hug forever,
Jennifer

Have you seen or heard of canadianadopteesregistry.org ? It's an excellent site...

Hope it all works out for you.

That was really sweet of you to direct me to that site. Unfortunately, there isn't anyone with her birth information there, but I won't give up. However, I'm only out to let her know that we're welcoming her -- if she wants to be welcomed So I will register the information on that site... and we'll see how far it gets us! Thanks again.. I can use all the help I can get in order to get the word out!

Sincerely,
Jennifer

You're welcome. We just never know how things are coming together in the big picture...(if we only had a crystal ball).

Good luck in your search...she's fortunate to have family members like you.

Sorry for the wrong date - I'm not sure why I wrote 1981 instead of '82 sorry

Hi! Thanks for replying to my post.
I'm not quite sure how far to go with the search in case my cousin isn't looking to be found - or simply just isn't looking. Maybe I could get some advice on what else to do? Perhaps the easiest answer is that if she doesn't want to be found, she won't be, right?

I'm also from Ottawa - I live just outside Ottawa now It's very touching that you want to help me. Thank you.

Very Sincerely,
Jennifer

You're very welcome. I figure, as an adoptee, i'm trying to help out others if they need help, it makes me feel better about the adoption issue, and if i can make a difference, even better. I live on the Quebec side ( Gatineau-Hull)

I also figure my adoptive mom might still be in the Ottawa area, so maybe YOU have seen her

Anyway, hope i can help. Hope to talk to you later

I would really love to help you too. I must warn you that I'm a busy mom of two little girls and I'm not given much free time and my husband isn't home until after 7 most nights BUT whatever I can do, I will!
We live in Smiths Falls.. The home of The Hershey Factory. Perhaps e-mailing would be better? Let me know what I might be able to do to help, ok? I wish you all the best in your search -- who knows, right?

Happy Holiday's too.. they're right around the corner!

Sorry for taking so long to reply. I actually tried twice, but my 3 year old was demanding attention -- (as she is now, but third time is a charm... she's being patient now!)

Ok... I'll check in again soon. Take care!

Hehe, i understand perfectly, i myself have been quite busy, being a student at university and this being the wonderful "exam and essays" period. Fortunately it is all over and i can finally enjoy the spirit of the holidays.

Smiths Falls eh? Cool. I remember in grade 7 and 8 our school did some " cyclo-tourisme" where we biked to Rideau River provincial park to camp and then head to the hershey factory yum yum.

Its nice to talk to you and wish you all the best to you and your family for the holidays. Hope you hear something from your cousin. Do you mind if i ask some info ( just so i might help) like what hospital she might have been born or something like that?
