Still looking for family

I know how you feel. Do you know here first or last name? Do you know what state she lives in?

Hi, Joyce, Boy, do I know that empty feeling. I'm 37 and that feeling is finally starting to go away. I have searched and located most of my bfamily. My bmom wants nothing to do with me. You would think that I would feel even more empty, but I really don't. The thing is, I finally know where I came from, who I came from, and how I came to be. So, although reunion hasn't been "heaven", I am, for the first time, starting to feel like a valid human being. :flower: Also, being here amongst other adoptees has given me a feeling of being "not so alone in the world". It is wonderful to have people to talk with that truly understand what it's like. My best to you. Raina

Hi Joyce, I can relate to how you feel. I felt I had a hole in my soul too and I was older than you are when I reunited with my bfamily. What types of things have you tried to start your search? Maybe we can help! Snuffie

Hi Joyce, I wonder how you great up and if you've taken the time to work with a counselor. I was adopted and formed my family through adoption. I have a wonderful family. Well actually they're not ALWAYS so wonderful, but that's how families are right?? I worry that your expectations of your birth mother may be unrealistic and that the source of your emptiness may have nothing at all to do with adoption. Is that possible?
