testing out the waters

January 14, 2008

I just turned 20 on Saturday, and I suppose I figured it was time I test the waters in looking for my b-mom and b-father.

I was born on Jan 12, 1988 in Waco and adopted in May of '88 in Dallas.

I was raised by a caring and loving family. I am the only girl in the entire immediate family,

so I suppose you can say I am a bit of a tomboy. But my A-mom and A-dad are so glad to have a daughter in their life.

I currently live with my boyfriend in TN and I go to school for art.

I love my adoptive family so much, and most all the time I suppose I forget that we are not related by blood.

I am curious to find my b-family and learn about my history - both medical and family. I am nervous that

my b-mom and b-dad don't want anything to do with me and or maybe want too much to do with me.

I suppose I just want to find them so that they can know I grew up with a loving family and that I am grateful for the life they gave me.

(I apologize if this is long. I am preparing myself for the journey should I decide to start searching for my family)

Thank you to everyone that will share this with me in the future.
