I Found Mine with the help of an Arkansas Searcher

Do you know if they have to put the correct information on the birth certificate. If not if he is looking for me he may never find me. All I have to go by is the birthdate and if the aparents changed that I'll never connect. Any suggestions? Congratulations on your success!!!!

To me personally I would love the reunion, but I would consider it selfish of me to seach for her, if she does not desire to meet me.

I think mainly, it's the curiosity that leads me to search. Just as you are curious, a child that was given away is curious also. I'd like to know my birth mother's occupation, maybe it could give me an idea of my hidden strengths (or weaknesses) some guidance maybe. That's why it's sooo important. As I said, I don't want to meet my bio, I would just like to see her; however, if she wanted to meet me also, I would be scared. Does this help you?
