Feeling hopeless

I wish you well in your search..............sal

I wish you well too ... Pip :wings:

My heart goes out to you and I can relate to your feelings of hopelessness. I, too, submitted my details to my orphanage in hopes that my birthparents would somehow come and find me. And like your situation, they didn't. It felt somehow like rejection, like I'd called out to them, tried to reach out, and it hurt. Now I've learned that they died long ago. That hurts even more. I honestly don't know how you might be able to further progress your search. Perhaps others, both in the birth parents and adult adoptees sections, might be able to recommend some good professional search organizations? In the meantime, I'm sending you a big hug of support!

I grew up feeling the same way, but after 32 years found out that my family had in fact been searching for me too! Please do not give up! They could be searching, just not in the right place! You would be surprised how many people still don't have computers and register! A LOT! Have faith, my prayers are with you!

I am a 41 yr old adoptee and I have been searching for countless years, to no avail. I understand you frustration. But you really can't give up. I mean, part of the way that we deal with it, at this age and at this point, is to search. Hearing other stories and meeting new people who are just like us, that is all part of the belonging. We belong to a group of people that numbers in the millions, who have not found out who they are. You are not alone and if you give up and hide in the corner, how are we suppose to heal without you. We all stand together as a family of children who need someone connected to our past. You are our past, you were at the same point in time, being adopted while someone else at the same point of time was being adopted. They need you, we need to you fill those gaps and stand with us. Please don't give up, please don't walk away, if you do, what are we suppose to do without you? You will be another piece of our hearts that is missing....
