I have been looking for my daughter who was born on 1-12-84 in Georgia. I may be off by a day or so because I have tried not to think about it over the years in order not to feel the loss. She was born in Piedmont Hospital and adopted out through Friends of Children. Thanks.xoxo

I just wanted to say hello and let you know that I am here if you ever need to chat. I also gave birth to a daughter at Piedmont Hospital in Ga. My daughter was born in 1988. I know exactly how you feel about making yourself go numb at the time of the birth and for so long afterwards. Probably so that we would not have to face the reality of it, because if we did, we would not have been able to do it. I had suppressed so much of those feelings for so long and of course never forgot her and always thought of her, but it finally took over me a few years ago. I have not been able to function as a mother or an individual since. I have been searching for anything to let me know that she was ok, so that I knew in my heart for sure that I did the right thing sixteen years ago. I found her just recently by the grace of God and contacted her parents so that if she did not know of her adoption, I would not be shocking her. They communicated with me for a few months and then decided not to tell her of my contact. They want her to decide when and if she locates me. I personally think they should leave it up to her and not hide anything from her. I am praying that what they have decided will work out for her and not hurt her. Anyway, good luck in your search and pm me if you would like to chat. Hugs!!!
