The the real search negan, finding anything and everything I could, regarding her life. The first "ex" I called gave me one of the best gifts when he told me, "Lucy was all about her cats and her gardening". You see, those have always both been high on my list too, so I knew...we had something in common. My story is so much more, but that first bit of info will always stick with me. :) I wish you the best in finding those close to her.

She was adopted too, so she's not a blood relative, but it's someone who knew her, which is closer than I ever got. <br /><br />Also, an internet savvy friend pointed me to this web archive site. It allows you to see snapshots of the owl site without being booted off if you're inactive too long. Here it is: https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://myowls.tripod.com/Kevin Gladishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01447609279438853074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6969075083091409365.post-86877718810680625182015-11-08T10:02:13.353-08:002015-11-08T10:02:13.353-08:00As an adoptee, I could related to your story on a ...As an adoptee, I could related to your story on a very emotional level. I too have been involved in "the search". I found a half-sibling about 25 years ago and he has been a real blessing in my life Recently, the two of us had our DNA done by ancestry and "confirmed" what we already knew but couldn't prove. It has been so interesting to look at our ancestry. The hole in my heart is beginning to file. BTW, I went to your mother's owl site. I love owls as well. Getting to it was a challenge,<br />but I was successful. It's a wonderful site. I saved the index to my favorites and have been able to access the site at will. I am passing it on to some other "friends of owls". I hope you find what you are searching for as I have.

I have a great (non-identifying) report from Catholic Charities, but again it's all second and third hand info. Seeing something she created herself and getting a glimpse into who she was has been so amazing for me. <br /><br />Did you have a similar journey in finding your birth mom?
