I did not understand what I could have done wrong. I know now that I did not do anything but I think your parents were worried about protecting you. I know you are a adult now so this is your decision. I have never forgotten you. You are in my heart every day. I hope at sometime you will find me.
270. DebbieLynn1963 : I was born January 19, 1963 in Morgantown, Wv. My birth parents were not married.My father was married to someone else and was a deputy on the sheriff’s department.My mom lived in Clarksburg, Wv..My adoption didn’t happen right away because there was something wrong with my eyes. My adopted parents got me when I was 6 months old. I’m not out to start or cause any problems. I have an adult son who has started having medical problems as well as myself. I just want medical history from both sides. I also have a new grand daughter on the way and it would be helpful. If my biological family would want to have a relationship with me that would be wonderful. If not, it will hurt bit I fully understand.
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.
