My 26th birthday is coming up and I am still searching for my bparents. I began the search last year when my parents gave me a letter and necklace that my bparents entrusted to them 25 years earlier. It was then that my parents decided to give it to me on my 25th birthday. It was quite a shock to get these momentos but reminded me that I had been wanting to search and this seemed the time. I began my search but due to events had to halt my search. I am now able to look and was hoping someone would be able to help.

I was born 7/28/80 in the Albany/Troy area. My birthname was Catherine. My bmother was 23 at the time, 4'11", brown hair and brown eyes, and an identical twin that had been adopted as a young child as well.

My bfather was 33 at the time, 6', brown hair and brown eyes. He was in the Navy out of high school and married at the time but separated from his wife.

I don't know what to say to them but due to recent health issues I need to know some updated information.

Please help.
