I am just starting my search. I already have my non-identifying information. My Adoptive Mother got it for me when I had my son. I have been interested in searching for a long time, but am finally more focused on the search now. I have been spending a lot of time thinking that my children along with myself deserve to know where we came from.
I have a wonderful life, and I am not searching to fulfill a gap, or mend a wound, I am searching to see if there could be enhancement to my life, but I do feel that I am stong enough to accept whatever outcome without a whole lot of disappointment.
I called the Adoption Agency from which I was Adopted (Lutheran Social Services Souix Falls, SD), they were some help, they sent me a brochure about how to petition the court to open my records. Once I recieved the document, I found out from the paperwork that I am to request the information from the county that the adoption was finalized in. Which I have recently found out that it is in Kansas, because that is where my Adoptive parents lived at the time. The laws are different there, and they have open records, so I am hoping that because of this, my search will get easier.
I did find in my non-identifying records, that the agency forgot to (white-out) my Bmom's birthdate 10/16/52
I am hoping that my search will be easy. The non-identifying information that I recieved was very detailed and enlightening. It does not seem that my birthparents were attempting to hide a whole lot of information.
This sight is awesome, a great place to express yourself to people who can relate on all levels.
Thanks for listening!!!!

Hello, Thank you for your reply, but my little girl who is a grown woman like yourself was born in Indianapolis, Indiana. I hope you find your mother and she greets you like I will when I find my daughter . I will greet her with tears of joy for that will probably not stop for awhile as I hold her in my arms. I will praise God for finally letting me know her and no matter how she greets me I will love her as I have always, loved her. Though she has never known of my love and longing to know her and see and touch and talk and hug and cry, aand ask her if she can some how in her heart forgive me,and hopefully have a realtionship with her and Thank her adopted Mother for loving and careing and sheltering her and hopefully find a place in my daughters life for the two of us to share.
If during your hunt you should run in to a Yound wwoman with your same birthdate could direct her my way that was born in Indianapolis, Indiana and her Mother was born in San Antonio texas and her name on her birth certificate was Jennifer Lynn McDaniel and her adoptive parents were fron New York and Washington D.C. This is all the identifying infor I can get from the State of Indiana. I am trying to get the records open I have given health information for her.
Well I would appreciate it very much.
