November is National Adoption Month - I have contacted KSD-TV here in St. Louis requesting they do a segment on adoption and reunion but not the over emotional reunions that you see on Montel and Maury. I suggested they do their segment on the agony of searching, the brick walls that some of us have run into. I explained the registry and how it only works if both parties registered and that some adoptees can't register without aparents permission. The gentlemen seemed very interested. My suggestion is that everyone in Missouri searching and have problems contact your local news and ask for a segment during November. If enough of us call hopefully they will listen and most importantly those birthparents and adoptees that have put off registering anywhere just might do so.
I am in my mid fifties and did not even own a computor until 2000 and had no idea how many registeries there are and even how to use the internet to search.
We need to reach an many people as we can.
Thanks for listening.

Dear Miss -
Good work. Gold star for YOU, baby!
Can those of us from out of state contact your person in St. Louis? If more of us jump on him/her perhaps there would be added interest and value. Let me know by PM how I can participate. I am very interested to get ANY and ALL press coverage in this state's backwards thinking.

Yes I think the more people they hear from the better. I will be calling again on Monday.
Thanks for your help.
After the elections I plan on contacting my state representative about the reunion registry and what can be done to help searchers.

Looking for the birth family of my father.....Dad was born in Sept. 1924 and adopted from St Joseph's or St Ann's orphange in St Louis which is now closed. Any suggestions on how to locate records? He may have a twin brother. I know nothing of the birth parents...but Dad was adopted by a family of German descent, which I was told that at that time they tried to match children to families of the same nationality.
