Never Stop Hoping

Cheryl, I sincerely hope you find your birth daughter. I placed my daughter for adoption in 1982, making her 20 years old now. I was so lucky to be allowed to hold her for three precious days, place her name on her original birth certificate and the hospital social worker even sent me her newborn pictures which I take out from time to time when my heart is really aching. Even though I had a fairly supportive family, I truly did not feel I had any other choice than to let this child go and I knew in my heart that God wanted me to do just that. I hope both of our dreams come true. I know that when I make a wish on a birthday cake or a star, no one around me would ever guess that my wishes are always for her. I've been through some pretty difficult times in my life but the most difficult thing I've ever done was walk out of that hospital with empty arms and a huge tear in my heart. Last I checked, at least in Kentucky, the State is required to notify children and/or their guardians of any medical history given to them that can affect the child. I'd call social services and inquire what they are obligated to do. Good luck. Jules
