As I get older it is more important to me to find my birth family. Who do I look like? Do I have any siblings? What health problems can I look forward to? I have many more questions. I hope someone can help me find the answers. |

| Comments: | I am searching for my birth mother/family. I was born August 8th, 1983 in Baton Rouge, LA at Women's Hospital. Dr. Karl Pizzolatto delivered me. I was 2 to 3 week premature. I have brown hair and brown eye, but i may have had blue eyes at birth. I was part of a closed adoption and was adopted at birth. My mother was 20 years old when she had me and her last name was Hickman. She was not married but my father was 21 years old. I have been searching for a long time and anything helps. It's very hard to get information since my adoption took place in Louisiana, very strict adoption laws. If any of this looks familiar or if anyone can help please don't hesitate to contact me. I'm alway thinking about you. |

| Place of Birth: | Denver, Colorado |
| I am: | Adoptee |
| Comments: | Over 30 years ago, someone brought my twin sister and me into the world at Denver General Hospital in Denver, Colorado on November 1st in 1981. My adopted parents were told that I was born with a heart condition and was kept in the hospital for 4 months after birth. We know nothing about who took care of my sister during this time. We each weighed 4 pounds 4 ounces and were probably born with hair, our first pictures show us at 1 1/2 with heads full of dark brown curls. I know that we were premature, and had big brown eyes and growing up we never quite looked like anyone else except each other. We are told that we are of Hispanic decent, and were raised in a Trans-racial household with an older adopted son.
We each have our own children and 2 look like each of us. Maybe this means we might look like someone else in the world. I also have a pair of identical twins, so I want to assume twins run in the family. Both my sister and myself are artistically gifted in visual and performance arts, maybe you are as well. If my first mother is anything like myself, I forgive her, and hope that if she isn't looking for us, that maybe we have family who is. Maybe you knew someone in Denver, Colorado or near there who had twin girls in the early 80's that she gave away, and you wondered what happened to them. Maybe she went to High School or college with you *probably Denver surrounding area* and was in activities, worked with you. Someone out there is looking for us, and I want to know you. Please e-mail if you have any information. Thank you! |

| Comments: | JoAnne has truly made a miracle happen for me in my life. I had heard about how long it usually takes to locate a birth parent, and knew that the process often took lots of money and several years, and sometimes still resulted in nothing. So, I registered at the adoption database without much hope at all, thinking that maybe I would hear something back twenty years down the line or possibly never. To my amazement, I received a phone call from JoAnne just 5 days after I registered! I couldn't believe it! She told me that she had found my birth mother and that she was happy and wanted to talk to me. I feel very blessed to be able to get to know the wonderful woman who gave me life and also had the courage to do what she knew was right. I have always thought of her as a very selfless, caring person, and she really is! I learned that she has moved on with her life, made great decisions, and had a family. We had a great conversation over the phone, and discovered that we have a lot in common and similar personalities. Knowing the circumstances of my birth and the woman who gave life to me doesn't change who I am as a person, but it feels very good to know truths that have been a mystery to me for my entire life. Thank you to JoAnne for making this all possible! |

| Comments: | THIS IS IT!!!!!........................After close to 28 years, I have finally FOUND the woman responsible for bringing me in this world. IT'S A MATCH!
On Monday January 12th, I received copies of the senior class of on of many, many schools that I had contacted for information. Out of a class of 700 people, my sister and roommate picked out the picture of one woman who looked so much like me. After waiting an entire week patiently, on Friday I received a contact number for a woman who I thought may be my mom. I called the number and spoke to who would be my grandmother who in turn gave me the number to reach Debra. Little did I realize what was in store for me!!! This woman asked me why I wanted her daughter's number and so I explained to her that I was looking for someone from the graduating class of this school....and she gave me the number. (she would later call my mom and ask if someone called her about a class reunion...........my mom said "Yes, a reunion but not that one!) Yesterday at 5 PM, I spoke to my Bmom for the first time in my life. (I'm shaking as I type with complete bliss!) Her name is Debra and sha has been waiting for me to call for the past two years. She is everything that my heart has believed she would be. She asked me to give her a call back so she could talk to her husband, I waited for three hours to call back to get the answers I've been asking for what seems like a lifetime. She explained the circumstances of my birth and told me my bdads name. Unfortunately, she doesn't have contact with him. She's married and very happy. Her husband is wonderful and encourages us to build a relationship! She asked me to email pictures today and I plan on getting right to it but I had to share with this group.family that has supported and made my find possible!!! Everyone in this group has endured some adversity......some harsher than others but in the end and in the process, God never gives us more than we can handle. He knows each of our hearts desires. He's been there for me when I cried for my bmom, blessed me with a loving adoptive family, and carried me through the times that I just wanted to give up because the odds were completely against me. Nonetheless, in His time, He has answered my prayers and bless me in the ways that I've dreamed of. With all of this said, I just want to say thank you to everyone who has continued to answer my questions, look up numbers, give advice, share similiar stories, and encouraged me not to give up. I thank you with all that I am, and am here now to share my story and help the people who will encounter what I have and search just like I have. Please know that I will share your experiences and help in any way that I can. TO JO ANNE................Thanks for being you. For your devotion and strength to do what you have with this group. You are unique and special and I thank God for you and what you have done!!. I will be emailing the group with updates on my FIND. It's taken forever!!!! GOD BLESS MARY FOUND BMOM JANUARY 16, 2004 |

| Comments: | Dear Joanne,
How do I say thank you to you ? It's a question I've been going over and over in my head. What you've done for my family is something you'll never ever know just how much it means to us. The missing piece to our puzzle is now found, and it's complete again as it should have been always. In a matter of minutes you did what I'd been trying to do for years, and I do mean years. We don't have legal proof that Jon is our Jon, but we dont need that. To many things are present for us to not believe he is our Jon-Jon. I am happy to tell you he has talked to his birth-mom and holds no animosity towards her, and believes firmly that things happen for a reason, and are meant to be the way they are and were. So with that, I will close this and say to you, you are truly an angel for all the people who are still searching for loved ones. God does send some of his most treasured ones to live right here among us, and I firmly believe he has chosen you. My deepest heartfelt gratitude goes to you. Sincerely, Sue Magargle |

I just want to sincerely thank you for making a dream come true for me. It was a dream that I sort of gave up on because I never wanted to intrude on my birth mothers life after she did the most selfless thing by giving me up for adoption. But, thanks to you and your organization, my birth mother actually found me! I just spoke to her tonight for the first time in 35 years and it was the most wonderful feeling to be able to actually hear her voice and to know she never forgot about me. We are both looking forward to getting to know each other and hopefully meeting in the near future. I'm still in shock and can't believe it's true, but WOW... what a great way to start of the new year! Many heartfelt thanks to you and your organization! I now pray that you are able to help my sister find her birth mother so we can share in the awesome experience together. Take care and keep up the great and rewarding work. Best wishes, Elizabeth |

Before we got off the phone the first time, we made arrangements for my husband and me to fly to Portland to meet Ed for the first time. It has been truly a miracle that we found him. I never in my wildest dreams thought I would ever know his name, much less get to meet him. "Thank you" is not enough. You have my eternal gratitude. You are indeed an angel. Without you, this would not have happened this quickly. We tell everyone that you are the one who found him for us. Thank you a million times. |

| Comments: | I am a F adoptee iso my birthmother, Beverly, dob 9/18/33. I was born in Detroit, MI at Florence Crittendon Hospital, and my mother was a resident of FCMaternity Home from 2/10/55 til just after my birthday. She named me Susan when I was born. My identity was removed and I was placed in foster care 4/22/55, and then placed for adoption 7/55 and the adoption was finalized 9/56. My adoptive name was Paula Kim Fiedler.
All that I know about my identity has been learned only in the last 2 years. I am committed to work with state and federal representatives towards opening closed adoption records to those who wish their real identity...how is it legal to steal your identity? I spend my days searching the registries on the internet and communicating/helping others in their search on JoAnne's Adoption Database. It is a lonely, heartwrenching process punctuated by sheer happiness for those who find each other and, in this site family, perpetually surrounded by the love for all of "us" in the triad. JoAnne, God Bless All Search Angels, and those within the U. S. Government who are working towards legislative reform. :)Susan in Minneapolis |
