Where is everyone????

i quit checking everyday for the same reason...no repsonse and mo replies. i still believe that if everyone would have done what i sugested awhile ago it would have helped. it was to email everybody they knew a link to this sight and to passit on and say something like "if you have ever adopted or givin up someone for adoption or have talked to someone who has done this check this sight out" who knows maybe i am crazy kent <><

Kent (ferrisk)... Hey, thanks for replying to my post. I see there were 22 hits and now 1 reply. I also see on one of your posts you had 500+ hits and what 3 replys. At least we know that someone is out there. I only came aboard this site in February and had high hopes to get to the point to actually meet a birthmother to talk to. AND....... you are not crazy!!! How are things going for you? Up and down for me. I have done a lot of obesssing and now am reading so much my eyes are about to fall out. Maybe if we posted something controversial, we would bring someone out of the woodwork.... So, if you can think up something let me know... Hope things are going well with you. Margene

i actually located my birthmother through an arbitrary in great falls. but at this time my birth mother is unable to make contact due to no one in her life knows I exist. I keep praying for and soneday I will hear from her....i just keep checking post and maybe she will contact me someday...i do know she is out there and now she knows i am looking for her

I wish you the best. I am sure it is hard knowing that she has been informed you are wanting contact, but hasn't made that decision to contact you yet. There are so many emotions that surface when faced with our past and being she really had to keep a huge secret, it is twice as hard for her. Are you able to send her further communication through the agency that located her for you? Keeping some sort of contact open, may prompt her to decide to make contact. I had a rather different experience when my daughter located me. She preceded to call my home and I was on vacation so my husband, without knowing who she was, gave her the number where I was. She called and the rest is history. I was so totally shocked. Have you ever been able to talk with another birthmother to get a sense of the emotions, etc.? It really helped me to read the many posts from adoptees to understand where my daughter was coming from. That is why a support group would be soooooooo helpful to all of us. But at this rate it is just going to be me and you. I had a short contact with another adoptee on here named 'simplydelicious'. We instant messages a bit and then for some reason we had no more contact. I hope I didn't do or say anything to upset her. I know you had contact with her, too, as I saw from the posts. So she would make 3...... I guess a slow start is better than none. And, I hope to hear more from you. I do hope this message finds you well today. Margene

margene...... This is Brandy over in Columbia Falls! I dont have AOL messenger installed anymore so i can leave you a message...BUT I FOUND HER I FOUND HER!!! We spoke on the telephone tonight. It all came about just today! I just had to let you know I found her. And it went rather well. Also need to do blood tests with possible biological paternal family members. I found them too!! They are all elated!!! A little super sleuthing on my part and I got the information all on my own! Huggz to you, Brandy:D

And No Margene, It wasnt something you did or said it was my computer going down. Huggz, Brandy

Hi Brandy....I am hoping that this message will get to you as I have tried twice to e-mail you using the address you left in your post message and both came back. Technology :confused: I am soooooo happy for you Brandy that you have found your birthmom and other family. I am anxious to hear all the details about your bmom and family. I am sure you are riding high right now as do most adoptees who locate after searching so hard. I hope it is all you have been looking for. I haven't been checking my reunion related messages as often as I have had to distance myself a bit to let my mind rest a bit. I get too caught up...... So I just ready your post this morning 8/10. Love, Margene

Hello, Brian here. I'm just starting my search. I was born June 2 of 1969. I've just started gathering information to start my search. Unfortunately I have very little to go on. I assume that since this is the "Montana Adoption Records" section you all were adopted in Montana. I was hoping that I could get some information as to what did and didn't work for people as far as gathering information went for them. I'm aware of the CI program and plan to get in touch with them, but having a general lack of trust in government red tape I would just as soon press on as that process is set in motion. Any help is, of course, greatly appreciated. Thank you, Brian

Hey I was beginning to think that I was the only one searching in MT!! It is great to see that there are people currently searching in our great State. My name is Julie, DOB 12/14/1966 in Billings MT. I have gotten my nonid from Catholic Charities. They were suppose to send me the paperwork to petition the courts to try and get my file opened. Have not recieved it yet. Does anyone know if it is better to go with the Catholic Charities Intermediate or to just let the courts pick one? Also does anyone have a copy of the paperwork that needs to be filled out? Any info that anyone has would be greatly appreciated
