1947. LydiaWard : My father was adopted in Nashville‚ TN by Noble and Martha Walker‚ born on September 10‚ 1973. The only thing that’s on his adoption papers is that the mom and dad both had brown hair and brown eyes‚ but we know that can’t be true because we have grey/green/blue eyes with a gold ring in the center. It was a very closed adoption on the biological end. I don’t know why. He’s turning 51 and has gone his whole life feeling unwanted. I just want to know where he comes from and who his people are so I can show him that he’s not alone. I try my best to make him feel wanted‚ loved‚ etc.‚ but there is always that huge hole in his heart.
