Thumbs up birthfather was/is a catholic priest, I was found in the street etc....

greetings,

I feel that I have a very unusual adoption story. I am the biological (41 year old) daughter of a catholic priest. I lived with my lovely birthmother for 2 and a half years and ended up found in the street. My mother had the disease of alcoholism. My father was her AA sponcer. She died when I was 9, although I had been adopted at the age of 4. When I found my mother's sister she was working for the east coast (Maine) office as a home health aide for the same company and same job I held while in nursing school, and my office was in California. The synchronicities are enough to make anyone's head spin, and too long to type here. My father has a new found case of convenient amnesia and I am contemplating going to the Boston Globe, so if you would like an exclusive on this story please contact me ASAP.

Bottom line, I am healthy, happy and grateful.

Sally

Call your local news papers and news channels. They will all want to use your story. BUT, please be sure this is what you want to do. Goodluck! I am glad you are happy. It is ashamed what a priest could get away with. I would want to go public also. You never know what you could find out!

Thank you for your kind encouragement. I have a contact with the Boston Globe, they are ready for when I say 'go'. I know that there are many priests that fathered children and many women who were forced to give them up for adoption or have abortions. I am gathering these stories for a book that will illuminate the truth and offer people insights to the humanity of us all.

Once again, thank you.

Sally
