Hello,
I am 26 and I was given up for adoption when I was born. I wasn't told till I was old enough to know what it meant. BUt I have always felt like a piece of me was never there. My b-mom was only 16 when she had me and couldn't afford to keep me so she wrote me a letter to whom it may concern to let me know that I was loved by her but she did what she felt was best for her. I have been trying to get through all the red tape Washington State puts up before the adopted children are allowed to make any kind of contact. I was born in Vancouver Wa at Vancouver memorial at 1:22 A.M. I know my birthmom said not to find her but I feel I need to. I don't want to cause her any pain but I would just like to know my history. Thanks for reading.

Hi Turtle. I gave up a baby boy born to me on march 17, 1978 when I was 16 years old. I was a Ward of the Court so my baby went through a government adoption agency. I didn't know I had even had a boy until his 18th Birthday. That was the day I received the original Birth certificate in the mail. Washington is the only State that the Birth Mother can get the original birth certificate. Or so I have been told. My certificate didn't give me size, weight or time, just that it was a baby boy and the date. And I did write a letter to be put with the adoption papers. I had been told that I was not allowed to put any names or places in the letter. The only hang up I have with the information you posted, is that I don't believe my delivery was that early in the morning. But then I was only 16, and I slept for like 2 days. And I remember thinking, when I wrote that letter, that if my child came looking for me, I wanted them to know the "WHY" before hand. Do you have any other info?
