Once upon a time (1981) in a land far away (from where I live now) there was a girl who got herself in a family way. And through a course of events not totally in her control, the child she carried for nine months was given to a loving couple who desparately wanted a child. The right decision was made and the girl grew up, went to college, married, had another child but never did a day go by that she didn't think about the boy-child she had given away.
Fast forward 29 birthdays and throughout all of those the years, I've registered at every adoption reunion site I could find. There were a couple of "nibbles" that didn't pan out; excitement, fear, heartache, and trying not to think too much about the possibility of a reuinion...
Until this past Monday when I received an email from Linda Cecil at the KY Adoption Reunion Registry. She had a possible match and had some questions. I answered her e-mail and we spoke by phone. She apologized for this taking so long...
I've waited 29 years so a little longer wont hurt. Apparently his parents are not too interested in being helpful. I suppose maybe they are afraid of being replaced. I have to tell them this: I gave birth to this boy but they raised him - they are his parents and I could NEVER replace that.
I'll update as I get more info.
