My NY State altered birth certificate says I was born in Oneida, NY, on 10/10/1965. I have been told my birth surname is Foeppel. I have the first and middle birth name, also, but I'm saving that for assurance.
I've struggled with this for years. For a long time, I worried that I would hurt my adoptive parents feelings just looking. I also worried that if you had remarried and had a new family, that contact from me might be intrusive.
This is hard. I've always wanted to reach out. Recently I found out about the Adoption Information Registry and I'm thinking to myself, what must you think, that I never applied? I feel like I've all ready let you down. You deserve better, so I will buck up and carry on.
I want to speak you, to tell you I turned out OK. That I love you no matter what. That I'm thankful you brought be into this world.
I won't give up until you tell me to;
You're loving and grateful son.
