She was given up at birth and stayed for 6 months in a foster home before being placed in a family here in Massachusetts. Is there anyone in Florida who has a search/find service that any of you reccomend? I am absolutely helpless from up here, and would appreciate any advice.

Your right Helen, it really does vary from person to person, I met my natural mother when I was 19, I have known her for 3 1/2 years now and am very VERY happy that I got to know her and my extended fammily.. It sounds like you have a VERY inteligent and loving son.. Society is very cruel to the adopted and the parent(s) who placed their children up for adoption and too many go away being hurt and or angry because they where placed for adoption, on the flip side the natural parents are scared that their own children are going to hate them.. It sounds like it is not the case here. I know I have been rambling here. The question isn't so much wheather or not YOU want to start the search but it should be your sons choice. Ask him what he feels about it, and discuss what he hopes to gain from the experaince, and be sure to let him know that it is okay with you if he should say "Yes".. Let me know how this turns out, and I wish you two the best of luck... --- CNet/3 * Origin: -- The Rats Den BBS San Diego,CA -- (1:202/1402) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 162 ADOPTEES Ref: DCN00010 Date: 08/18/96 From: MICHAEL KIRST Time: 03:01pm \/To: ALL (Read 3 times) Subj: Weekly Echo Traffic Report ==============================( [ ORIGX ] v2.2 ============================== ORIGIN LINE ACTIVITY ======================( Adoptees Echo Carrying Systems ===================== * The Ratz Nest BBS * Burleson TX * (1:130/911) 0.14% (3:639/257) 0.28% * Madman BBS * Chico, California * 916-893-8079 * (1:119/88) 0.42% KC GeneSplicer "KansasCity" 913-648-6979 V34,V32b,V42b (1:280/318) 0.14% (Fido) BoneHead's Paradise - Nova Scotia 902-883-1034 (1:251/13.0) 0.28% (Scouter's Haven) (1:129/186.0) 0.98% * The Recovery Nest BBS * Burleson TX * (1:130/911) 0.56% *** GENESIS ONE BBS *** Node 1: (706)556-1444 Fidonet (1:360/28) 2.11% -- The Rats Den BBS San Diego,CA -- (1:202/1402) 0.14% 24th Street Exchange * A BBS Since 1983 * 916.448.2483 (1:203/52) 0.14% =ACE= ONLINE - (301)942-2218 (1:109/476) 0.28% A limb in your Family Tree may be found here.
