Leap Year Baby 1984

our son we adopted has 2-29-1984 on his birth certificate. we only wonder if this is correct due to everything that i'm reading about dates being changed. where was the adoption? what state? maybe i can help?

Just wondering why there was no reply to the Post I left in reference to the phone call I received from you Tampa...Has something gone wrong, have you found out there is no link between your adopted son & myself, should I leave things alone??? Please let me know so that I may continue to search for my son if you have found out there is no link between us. I hope/Pray all is well there with you'Z all, thank you...

i tried to email first day and pics came back, i did see your post and have new email address, we taked to our son and told him all, it is in his corner now, however we have contacted our attorney in florida to find out some things and we recently received info that still stands with original b-date of 2-29 that was given, we contacted agency and they told me that the papers i have were filled out by the b/mother. and it was a military adoption, where do i go from here who do we believe, i did feel something when i was talking to you, so i;m in the process of copying pics and sending them anyway, until we can figure this out i will be checking post when i can,

Dearest Tampa, Thank you so very much for your reply, they God you have answered as I was so worried something was wrong. You know that's why I wanted the pictures of your son was so that I could see him, because I know my children have very distinctive features, they all look alike & very much so. It's just something that comes from the Italian side of my Dad's family & it has been passed down through everyone of my children. My oldest daughter that would be his actual biological sister & your son looked so very simuliar at birth. I have "Prayed" so very earnestly in reference to this situation, my heart knows that this is my birth son. I realize I want to find him so badly that you may feel this is why I say it is him, but seriously it was there, that feeling when you just know you are right. The 1st time we spoke on the telephone I just knew this was him. I am so sorry that I in some strange way gave you the wrong E-Mail address that day, I was so angry at myself for doing so. I realize that your son may not have interest in me, my children, etc, but maybe("In Jesus' Name") eventually he may want to talk with me. I honestly wish if it would be ok with you to preferably send private E-Mail's to one another in reference to this situation until maybe we can figure out what's actually/honestly going on, as I feel this should be personal/private...So I should go now, please be safe, God Bless you & your family & keep you'Z all safe in His arms of Love... Sincerely, JoAnne PreciouzYana@yahoo.com

dear joann, been very busy and feel bad i havent mailed off the pictures but almost have it together to send out. tell me about you and your family, are you married, if so how does he feel about all this? your oldest daughter, what is she taking in college. how is your mom with this, i know a million questions, sorry. what about your 2 younger ones, are they aware they might have a brother. how do they feel.? when you were in high school did you play in band? hobbies?sports?. for now i would like to keep using this as email sending, my daughter so far knows nothing about this yet, don't want her to feel like she's losing a brother, more like gaining extended family. also she gets to the mail before i do, you know kids they are more computer smart then the adults, do you work? well I will be checking this nightly. hope to hear from you again tampa

Dearest Tampa, I will be 39 on October 8th, I received a GED & went to CNA School back in 1985 in Holland Michigan. I have always thus far in my life taken care of the elderly disabled, mentally challenged, etc. I also have quite a bit of knowledge in Respiratory Therapy as my dad was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis in 1993, so before I was allowed to bring him home with me I had to have special training due to the fact he was ventilator dependant. The disease he had is better known as Lou Gehrigs disease, a very sad, sad illness. My other children are 22, 17, 15 & 14. There is Maria, my oldest, she's in her 4th year of College in Athens West Va, Concord University, her major is Elementary Education, though she is very undecided right now if she'll continue her major in this area, she may change it to Criminal Psychology. She works 2 jobs & carries a heavy load in School, she is a genuine gift from God. My other son Logan is 17, he quit school in the 11th grade last year & is now in the process of receiving his GED, Logan has problems with depression, Monica is 15, she is in the 10th grade, she does real well & sings so very beautiful, I call her my "SongDove", Heaven is 14, she is in the 8th grade & does well, she used to play the Clarinet, but is no longer interested in it. I played the flute in school when I was a child & was always into Music, I love to sing, even in foreign music. I can speak fairly fluent Spanish, very little Italian, Hindi & Urdu. I can sing in about 5-6 different languages. I also write songs & a lot of poetry. I did not have a very good childhood, though I cannot explain here in the open, some things are much to personal to tell the world about on an open Adoption site, so we'll save those private matters for later. Yes my Mom & my kids know about their brother/grandson. I have always made sure they've known about him, they ask me why, and my GOD in heaven only could know why!!! They want to find him so badly, they want to see him, get to know him, just everything. We all call him Vinnie, we just always have, because I gave him the birthname Vicente Miguel, which is Vincent Michael in English. And I am not married, I have been single for years now...Please try to send the pictures soon, especially a couple of him as a little baby, because I know I'll know him as I cannot ever get his face out of my mind, the look in his eyes, it's all still so fresh in my memory. Please tell him things about me or maybe it would be best until after I see the pictures...The kids are all so anxiously awaiting the day we receive actual photos of him. Please do not fear that I would ever try & gain his love & take from you what you have so graciously given to him, I could never do this as I respect you & feel so very close to you in my heart knowing that it may possibly be you that raised, loved & took care of my birthson, your son... Thank you so very much for writing back, my computer is messed up right now, so I have been coming to my friends each day to check my E-Mail in hopes/Prayers of hearing from you. Sorry I have written so very much, but my gosh there's so very much to say, ask, the feelings are so very overwhelming sometimes. Well I should go now, please be safe & take care of yourselves. May God Bless you'Z all & keep you'Z forever safe in His arms of Love. Please answer soon... Sincerely, JoAnne

Dear Joann and Family, pictures are coming,Like your famly my son has know he was adopted since he could talk. we celebrate 2 birthdays one in feb. and one in june, his adoption day. Well so much to say going to Florida after the first of year meeting with our attroney and getting birth records from him, want to make sure , like you i'm sure. To many questions that are still unanswered, and catholic social services has some papers for me too. they claim as of recently the first of the month that our son was a military adoption with a 16 year old in 10th grade. strange isn't it. what a terrible thing if they have been lieing and forgeing papers that we have my attroney is investigating all this cause he handled theadoption and he has the original birth certificate with names, he also stands be hind the agency. From what i've been reading on the web i think they have some espaining to do. if they are all lieing god have mercy on them all, for what they tell and for all the people that could make a connection and can't because of the lies. well will be writing more later take care pictures coming. sincerely, tampa if this is your birth child he has a heart of gold and a smile to die for. everyone loves him, very easy going personality

Dear Tampa, Thanks for the reply, still no pictures though...Please make sure you're sending them to the correct E-Mail address which is PreciouzYana@yahoo.com My oldest sister Lisa is a Social Worker, she has done alot of research in reference to the "Childrens Home Society" I went through for my sons adoption, she says that this Adoption Agency had/has a bad name due to the fact that they were involved in a lot of illigal adoptions, black marketing babies, etc back years ago. So I really feel in my heart still yet that this is my birthson...I only Pray that you send the pictures as soon as posiible, please...I should close now, so sorry for the length of time it took to reply. God Bless you'Z all & keep you'Z safe in His arms of Love forever... Sincerely, JoAnne
