Whatever the purpose of your searching, whether it is medical curiosity, a void that perhaps you have felt for a long time, Jan and I are here and will continue to try and find new ways and avenues to help people in their search and reunion issues.

If you are an adoptive parent, assisting your son or daughter, this blog may hopefully help you to understand the needs one has as an adoptee and to help you understand the biological makeup of the child you love and care about. We adoptees became your children and in most cases we have all been very fortunate, that we have been placed together on this earth to be a family. The search will not change the love your son or daughter has for you. It will only be a new person perhaps becoming a part of your child’s life, if they choose to include them as part of their life in the future.

If you are a natural parent, the wait has been long and the pain has been deep. I am not a natural mother but I am an adoptee and a perspective adoptive mother who I hope will grow with our family. I have never had to walk in your shoes but on a daily basis I walk along side the many natural mothers and try to understand and support their fears and emotions through the process of search and reunion.

If you are a sibling, whether you had known this child in the past or are just learning of this sibling of yours, this time can be both exciting and very emotional in knowing ho wit all fits together and dealing with the emotions of the natural parent who is your parent, and your thoughts and feels at the same time. Your place is sometimes the most misunderstood role of them all. I hope that we can help clear some of the thoughts and questions that you have so that this new chapter in your life can be comfortable for your if you should decide to search and/or be reunited with your sibling. Many children learn of this child of the past only after the passing of their parent. If this is your case, we will try to help you seek information if that is your desire.
