I had experienced a miscarriage and wanted to look into past medical history if there was something wrong with me. I knew I was adopted as a baby so the search began. My husband loves to investigate -even though a farmer and we went to the adoption agency only to find out the gal that would help us was my best friend in Jr. High and she had moved away and I never knew what happened to her. She had given us the name of my birth mother and the siblings names and so off my husband and I went to the High School where she attended (in another state) and looked up her picture and siblings in the yearbook. As we were looking at one of her siblings that was around his age he said to me "You know her" I thought yeah right! As luck would have it, when he was in high school he used to hang out with this guy and he always had a picture of his girlfriend in his car and my husband remembered that picture. They remained friends and once in awhile we would run into them. She was also a coworker that I would work side by side every so ofthen and we had discussed how our husbands knew each other her and we also knew where they lived so we stopped in on the way home and just kind of quizzed her on things about her family and past and we knew that we were on the right path. Of course never telling her anything. In the meantime,this friend (social worker) had given me my birth mother's phone # as she had married someone else. (which was this gal's sister) So I called her and we set up a date and place to meet each other. We lived only 1 hr. away from each other was all. We met and all went well. Later on we decided to suprise this sister for their Anniversary and her mom, my 1/2 sister and my adoptive parents all in a planned out sequence of events evening. They all met each other that night. Later we were reminiscing that at this sister's B-day party a few years earlier we were invited to and went and sat across the table from my birth mother, grandmother and aunts and never had a clue that we would meet again under those circumstances.

My birth mother soon gave me my Birh father's name and my husband called him on his cell phone-received through relatives of his and given to her and give to us. My husband talked and e-mail addresses were exchanged so we started conversing over e-mails ever since. Even though I have not met him he lives A long ways away. He retires this year from the military so maybe I will finally have the chance to meet him personally.
I now have 3 kids... He has not been able to meet in person. My birth mother has been able to come to B-day parties and be with them around the Holidays. Maybe this year it will come full circle.
