I am a new searcher. I have grown curious, since my brother(also adopted no blood relation) found his birth mother. Also, I have just gotten married and we have talked about children but it's a little scary not really knowing my medical history.

Any tips, thoughts that you could be part of my birth family???

welcome to the forums

I suggest cross posting in the forums for the state of Louisiana and for the yeaar of your birth.

the Search guru has info for each state in the state forum. Have you got your non-ID info yet?

If you have any names or info I'd be happy to try to help you. I grew up in New Orleans and am currently a birthmother times two. I was only 10 at the time of your birth and all the birthmothers I know from that city are around my age.

However, I know a lot about the city and am willing to help out -- even if its as someone to vent to
