Mood:  Well here it is, just a few days after receiving my birth certifacte (short form) from my adoptive parents. I'm now 33 (check picture in profile) and several people are working on the search and let me tell you... People amaze me by there concern and williness to give up there time to help others; strangers. I thank all of you whom are searching for me and making this all possible. When I said in my profile I wanted to meet Santa Clause, I wasnt kidding. I joke around alot but seriously Santa is a child hoods Parents. Its a weird time, emotional,overwhelming and something I do no take for granted.
People are putting there best effort forward and I appreciate that. I just hope it all works out. Besides I havnt a clue what do to with the information when I receive it or how to feel never the less what to say to my birth family when its time. My adoptive family is awesome but somehow I just felt it was time to get things answered before anymore time moved on. I see now that some have passed and its honestly sad. But not to late. For all of you reading this, searching, wondering and considering giving up..DONT.
There are MANY great people in this forum and within the MA registries whom are making a world of difference. So hold your head up high and hang tight, and if nothing else know you tried and excepy any answers you receive because others arent so lucky.
I cant imagine having two familys. My other fear is what to say to my adoptive parents when I get ready to make contact. They have been great and I respect there feeling. Well i'm rambling on and on. One other thing is, keep posting all of you. Get your word out there and make sure you UPDATE anything even if its small because it has helped me drastically just by a simple update on one site and BOOM 1 day later.. I was forwarded something I overlooked.
Now chin up and smile, theres plenty of places to look and many Angels to help. I wish you all the luck in the world. I have some more info to get on my mothers side and then i'll go from there.
And one more thing...petition for open records. Help others. Thank You all
