I was born in Germany, in Cologne, as they told me, and 40 days after my birth, I was brought to Greece where I was adopted by relatives. I know my biological parents. However, my mother was German and I know that I have relatives there. All my parents, both natural and adoptive, are dead. I am looking for my relatives in Germany. My mother’s name was Anne-Louise Witteburg and I also know the middle name of my older brother, which is Julius.
I was matched with my birth mother just minutes after setting up my profile. It turns out that she had been searching for me for years. It's been a joy to connect with her and the rest of my biological family.
