They‚ and my maternal grandmother‚ left letters with the adoption service‚ in hopes that‚ someday‚ he would reach out. He has not. Whether but not knowing‚ or not wanting to‚ we don't know.
My parents went on to join the Navy (dad)‚ and go to college (mom)‚ get married‚ and have me (43 years‚ MN) and my older sister (46 years‚ CA). They just celebrated 55 years of marriage.
I have not done any genetic testing. That is the next step‚ but I thought I would start here.

They changed your name to Selma Wenstrand and their names are Tara and Craig. I am sober and doing g great in life now. I think about you a billion times a day!
