Elizabeth Adams' success story

I'VE FOUND MY DAUGHTER THAT I HAVEN'T SEEN FOR 36 YEARS. I had my baby adopted when she was 6 weeks old in 1968, and have spent the last 15 years or so trying to find her and a month ago I found her. I can't explain the feelings it gave me, especially when I found out she has been looking for me since 1994!!! I was scared at the thought of finding her incase she wouldn't want to know me, but she does and I am so happy I feel I could burst. I had a beautiful bouquet of flowers on Mothers day from her which reduced me to tears. I also have 5 grand-daughters and 1 great grand-daughter, and she now has a sister, a 2 year old nephew and is about to become an aunt again in July. For all of you who want to find someone, especially people like me who gave up their babies for adoption, please don't give up, sites like this really do help, I can't thank them enough, I just wish I'd found it years ago, so much time has been wasted, but not any more. GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE ELSE, I HOPE YOU YOU'RE ALL AS LUCKY AS I HAVE BEEN. Elizabeth Adams
