Thank God and the help of the Adoption Specialist for the state of Montana that I have finally found my beautiful daughter after all these years (37 1/2). I am so happy and that void in my heart is finally filled. I didn't think a reunion would ever be possible but I never gave up hope because as I held her in my arms after birth, I told her that we would meet again someday. We Did!!!:)

This is absolutely wonderful news. I hope it sends to message to everyone to never give up the search.
I often wonder if the "adoption professionals" that sold so many on the merits of "closed adoptions" ever lurk on these forums and feel any regret about grief they caused both children and birth parents.
At least for some lucky enough to have a successful reunion the "dark ages" are over.
Best of Luck!!!!

I was never given the opportunity, as the laws of the time said I should have, to be advised by an attorney or counselor. I was never told a thing about open adoption. Had I have been I would have never lost contact with my daughter. I was literally forced by my mother and a woman, who I just found out was the State adoption person, to give up my child. I fought very hard to keep my baby. I had no job, no money and absolutely no support from anyone. I was kicked out of my home and told to not come back pregnant or with a baby. I will never forgive my family or friends for that. All I could think of at the time was that she would have a good home and a good life. She has. I hope all who are searching the best of luck as I have had and that they will find their loved ones. I am so fufilled and happy now. The void has been filled and my baby has finally come home.:)
