Just found this awesome site and am excited to communicate with other birth mom's and adoptee's even if I can't find my own girl. Pregnant at 16 with parent's who were not only not engaged in my upbringing, but were living out of state: a Father in Alanta, a Mother in Arizona, and me in Missouri. I was offered an abortion but didn't want to do that. And being a HS dropout, no future that I could see at 16 years old, I spoke to an adoption counselor at St. John's Mercy Med Center. In 1974 teen pregnancy's and adoptions were still very much taboo.. I was put to sleep right before my child was born, and was not allowed to even glance at her - even though I asked several times. I was so ashamed that for years I told my family my child had died. I've spent every year since making myself a better person, and often look at girls in public places and wonder if they could be my birth daughter.

Hi there. I was born in 1974 (December) and looking for my birthparents or info for the past several years. I often wonder if my bm or bf wonder about me, since they have not signed the release of information with the courts, as I have. They were also both teens and I completely understand why they put me up for adoption. I had a wonderful childhood and am just looking for missing pieces of who I am. I hope you find your daughter and she welcomes you with open arms, as I hope one day can happen for me. Just wanted to share, I believe I have also seen your post on other search sites, as we are looking for the same year. Good luck to you.
