My Journey To Find My Birth Son Jamie
I received a comment on Facebook asking “Why was he taken” Good question. I actually did a post asking ‘Why’, which goes into the ‘Why’ differently. View it Here. I do have theories. Here are some of them. 1. I Was Under Age. Perhaps my parents felt I could not take care of a baby on my… [Read More]
After leaving the doctor’s office (see my last post) , and going back to my parents to pack up my belongings leaving for good, I went and stayed with a friend. I did not tell them where I was going. I did not want any contact from them. In many ways this was very hard on me.… [Read More]

My birthson has not responded to my attempts to contact him. It’s been almost 2 years now. This is not the first time he has pulled away, but this is the most difficult because the last time he did this, but came back, he said he would never do this to me again. He does not… [Read More]
Would Timing Have Made A Difference In My Relationship With My Birthson? Would it have made a difference if he was older, and I was older, when we met? I didn’t even think that it would until… I started recording the program Long Lost Family. Here is a quick overview of the show. From TLC network via… [Read More]
I know there is not a birth mother out there that doesn’t think of their birth child. I am sure there is not one birth mother out there that doesn’t wonder if their birth child ever thinks of them as well. But if your child was taken away at birth how can they even know to think… [Read More]
