2. I must say that I've never really started "searching" for my biological mother although I've always been somewhat curious about her. When I saw this web-site I thought this would be a good opportunity for me to just let her know that I am alive, well, in good spirits and will always be eternally thankful to her for giving me the gift of LIFE.
It was my adoptive parents who told me my birth names and those of my birth mother after my sister and younger brother (also adopted some 6 years later) started to actively search for their biological families whom they both subsequently found.
I never felt a need to seek out my birth mother as I was pretty secure with who I was and am. Also I was (and still am ) worried that I might be regarded as a "Skeleton in the closet" or a very bad experience for her. I would hate to give her any pain (I did all that already on October 4th, 1958) so I just did nothing.
However I recently got to thinking that maybe she would want to know how her little one had got on in life and whether he ever thought of her, or even what he thought of her. Maybe she's been looking for me and has been sadly disappointed. I don't know.

3. I would LOVE to make contact with my birth Mom even if it was just to say 'Thank You and I Love You" one time. She gave me a chance on life and as such I owe her a debt I could never even try to repay. I just wish I could get this message through to all those poor girls contemplating abortion right now. No matter how distressing your circumstances may be - PLEASE DON'T DO IT ! Give that precious life a chance ! (As you've guessed I'm pretty much against abortion).

Thanks for this opportunity to open, or should that read close, a chapter of my life.

Wishing you a Peaceful, Prosperous and Safe 1999. May God Bless you
