Reunion
Hello, I just found this site, and it is a blessing.. I am going through hell right now and am looking for help... I found one of my sons last year and it has been a roller coaster ride . Going from being great to being in hell. I still have one other to find. What I am looking for is other birthmothers to talk to . There are no support groups where I live. I found my son last year, we met in July and he came to my home for a week. then everything went downhill. His mother hates me with a passion and her hurt pain and fear have affected my son. he has pulled back.. anyone out there who has been through this? ..Lynda

Found but not reunited
First I think this site is wonderful, thank you Binky. I found my son (age 36) Oct. 98. He is not ready to meet me yet and so far have only talked four times on the phone. He at times is very hateful, but then calms down and asks for forgiveness and thanks me for his life. I am so mixed up,and wait for the phone to ring.He is in Phoenix, AZ and we will be there for 2 weeks in June. I asked him if we could meet for lunch then, he said he is not ready to commit. What do yo do? I just keep praying that he will want to meet me. He did say he loved me one time. THis is a great site and I have it bookmarked and will return to it on a regular basis.

To my son, whom I have always cherished.I hope that this message has a lot of meaning for you.
"In all of us there is a hunger, marrow deep, to know our heritage, to know who we are, & where we have come from. Without this enriching knowledge, there is a hollow yearning.
No matter what our attainments in life, there is a vacuum & emptiness & a most disquieting lonliness." ~Alex Haley
I learned at age 42 that the father who raised &abused me was in fact, not my real father. I searched & in March 1997, I found my real father's familym, sadly he had just passed away.
However, I have a full & loving family now. I will pray that you do not wait to search as I did, I have many regrets for not searching sooner.
You are very much loved & within my heart daily. Your birthfather's name is Kenneth Moreau. We were borh born in Port Arthur, TX.
If any of this sounds familiar, please contact me.

I am an adoptee
I am an adoptee searching for my birthmother. I found this site through the Adoption Net Links of Adoption Triad. I thought maybe it was a site to make a family tree. Instead I found this tree full of birthmothers in pain, searching for the children they were separated from at some time in their lives. It's heartbreaking. I have always known there were three sides to the Triad, but I have never seen it from any side except the adoptee. My heart goes out to all of the mothers who are still searching. I have a 2 year old daughter myself, and if she were ever taken out of my life I don't think I could go on. I would like to know something about this site. If I were to find my mother listed here, would I be able to get in touch with her through this site? I didn't find her here, but someday she may sign up with this site. I'd like to know what to do when she does.

This is my second entry. I just read the other entries in your notebook. I didn't feel right leaving a search message since I am not a birthmother, but I see many others have listed their information. So I think I will.

Poem by Eilliam Ernest Henley
"Invictus"
In the fell clutch of circumstance
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
It matters not how strait the gate,
I dedecate this poem to my daughter,the daughter I wanted so much and was denied, whom I privately named "Lydia Ann Borland".
I pray for the day I can tell her personally how much I really love her.

I never knew
I'm angry. Angry at the agency that placed my son in a family that never should have had him. Angry at the mother who didn't protect him from the stepfather who wounded his heart in ways he won't even tell me. Angry at myself for not considering, even thirty years ago, that there were alternatives and I might have been able to keep him. The only person I'm not angry at is my son, whom I love deeply. This poem is for him.
Now I can't believe how I love you.

My daughter, Andrea
I literally stumbled across this website and am so very pleased. It is difficult to find others who share the painful experience of relinquishing a child for adoption. It is an issue that, surprisingly, is still not discussed much. That is unfortunate for those of us who need to heal, even after 16 years (in my case). What was so striking about this kind of grieving is that one is expected to go through the process utterly alone. The people around me who were courageous enough to offer sympathy spent a great deal of time telling what an "unselfish" thing I had done. Although true, I did not WANT to give up my daughter, and it made me extremely angry to be heroicized when I felt absoultely devastated. I know that people meant well, however, the issue of adoption was (and still is, to some extent) not a comfortable subject of discussion. Only recently, has my family (16 years later) begun to speak openly about it-- except my father, who has never spoken about m

Reunion
I want to encourage those who are searching about the happiness that can be at the end of the rainbow. I never searched for my son. My need for him was buried deep, and I didn't know why I was often so sad. Then he found me. There's a song from Fiddler on the Roof - "I hadn't anything, now I have everything. No one is richer than I..." that is how I feel. He fills my heart with joy and we grow closer as time passes. Sometimes when we talk I'm so happy I can't sleep. Bless all of you who search and may the end of your rainbows be as rich as mine.

Happy Birthday my Sweet Daughter
On December 31, 1999 you will turn 14 years old. It's impossible to believe that so many years have passed since the day you entered this world. But not a day goes by that I don't think of you and love you with all my heart. I am so blessed that you have such wonderful, loving parents who love me and accept the role that I play in your life. I'm so happy that you have a sister who treasures you. And to finally know that your birthfather loves you and never forgot you. You are so bright and talented, and your future is full of so many promises. May you have a wonderfully UNFORGETTABLE birthday on the eve of the Millennium. A very special day for a very special daughter. I LOVE YOU.

My birthname is Dondally Ann Brester. I was born in Ellensburg, Washington on May 30, 1972. My mother's maiden name is Idamae K. Anderson and she was born in Seattle, Washington on March 24, 1947. She was married to Kenneth Gardner in the late 60's and had a son and daughter who may have been placed for adoption. She married my father, Dennis Lee Brester, in March 1971 and they divorced in April 1974 after my adoption was complete. Their last known residence was Renton, Washington. If anyone has any information about these people, please contact me at boogie@nwinfo.net as soon as possible.

I want you to know that giving you to a good family was the most difficult process I've endured in my life. I have always hoped that your life has been richer and more stable than I could provide at the time of your birth.
If you read this message, please contact me at branhall@prodigy.net. I welcome your response.
Many thanks to binky for the opportunity to share my thoughts and desires.

Out of the night that covers ne,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Looms but the horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find me, unafraid.
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

I never knew you'd need me.
I never knew you'd care.
I never knew you'd wake at might
Wanting your mother there.
I'll never leave you again.
And if I'd known what I know now,
I'd never have left you then.

Thank you for dedicating this site to our mother, Blanche. She is resting at peace and smiling down on all of us. I want to thank all the b-moms who supported our mom through her searches, and all the b-mom's who support each other! Without the support of all of you our mother may never had the courage and strength to search for her son. Her searches ended up at alot of deadends, but last September (1998), he phoned her. We are so very proud to say that we have another brother and his feelings are the same. So to all of you that have not had that moment yet, hold onto your dreams, because dreams, wishes and prayers do come true! We have a great relationship and he had the opportunity to meet our mom on 3 very special occasions. She couldn't have been happier the week before Mother's Day, when all four of her children and grandchildren spent the weekend together. We will all miss her but we know that she will always be with us.
