Have much to offer about adoption, family dynamics, extended family response and community. Our children are different ethnicly.
Would be happy to talk about our experiences.

I have wanted to love you since I found out I was adoptived. My adoptived parents have divorced....and my a-mom is dying. I need you and she and my a-father would like to no you also. My birthdate was 11-7-1976, I was born in Strusburg Pa.. My aparents and a sister brought me home when I was a day and a half old. The layer who handled the adoption said you and my father were trying to get together. You were 21 and he was 19. my a parents were divorced in 1985. My a mother had a heart transplant in 1989. I have a sister who is 10 years older then me. I married after I had my second child but that marriage was and abusive one and we are in a cusdy battle. He has the children...My adoptived father is a paying for my lawyer bills.
I feel even more lost with out my children....I need to have you in my life.I need to find that missing part of my self.(YOU) You have two beautful grand daugfhters. Who need to meet there real grandmother and grandfather.
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH
