You are so lucky. I am 79 years old and don't know who my real mom or dad are. I was very mistreated as a child and could never figure out why i was hated so. I was in my forties when I had to go thru a top secret security clearance. It took them 6 months to get it for me. It was then I knew something was wrong with my birth certificate. It looked like it was a copy of two different documents. One said I was born in the wpa hospital and the other said at home. One said my mom was only 13 and the other said 32. One named my father as an engineer and one said he was a rigger. Both worked on Hoover Dam. One said my father was born in Vermont, the other Kansas. The name of my mothers were Ida on one and Ila on the other. I asked my mom and my sister about it but both of them said I was crazy. I did get my father's birthcertificate. I may be crazy, but I can't get a passport with my birth certificate. They say it has been messed with.

I am so happy for you. I have a missing uncle also who had been put up for adoption in the 1930. My grandmother found out her marriage wasn't legal and for some reason the relationship ended. She found out she was pregnant and being single wasn't able to keep him. I found out about him shortly before my grandmother died. My mom had told me that she had over heard a conversation as a child, but that grandmother would never admit to it. I asked my Grandmother about it and she told me it was true. Unfortunately she said that the adoption papers had been lost and she couldn't remember when he was born. I figured that it was between 1932 and 1935. I know that she went to the Booth's home for unwed mothers in Los Angeles with was part of the Salvation Army. I tried to find him and was very close to getting a woman there to giving me the information about his adoption. She asked me to call back in a week as she would need to search for the records. There was also a chance that the records were lost in a fire also. When I called back I ended up talking to another woman who wouldn't help me at all. She said that my grandmother would have to make the request for the information. Before I could get a letter signed by my grandmother she pasted away unexpectedly. After that I couldn't get a hold of the other woman and no one would help me.

How Wonderful! I am always happy to hear that families are so welcoming of new or "new older" members. In our family, once we have them, we usually keep them even after a divorce. There are a couple of exceptions though.
Have a happy get to know each other. :)

Robyn, I am convinced that my sister was my mother. She was a very wild person with very little morals. Yes, she is 13 years and 11months and 8 days older than me. I have tried to find out about my father, but seem to hit a blank wall. He was born in Andover,Vermont, which no longer exists. It has been encorperated into Burlington. He was 23 when I was born. The WPA hospital was one that was erectect for the workers and their families by the government, in Las Vegas , Nv. It was turned over to the city later and all records are stored in the archives in D.C. My so called sister, died about 5 years ago with colon cancer. She had one other child, which I raised from the time I was 8 until I was 12, along with two other brothers, and a sister. I have lived with the wondering most of my life and my one consulation is knowing I am God's child.
