When I was about nine, my mom and dad told me I was adopted. I said I always thought so and

wanted to see my real parents. They said they were my real parents, and my new ones were waiting outside!

6. What's a kid to do? Home alone with nothing to play with but a blow torch, road flares, and kerosen!

2. There is hope.

I know a woman who found BOTH her birth parents after she was an adult. Last week-end, they attended her baby shower and are excited about having three grandchildren now.

I helped my friend find his birth parents. He didn't know he was adopted until after his "parents" both had passed. His father hosted him for a visit and they are identical in appearance. And he's excited about his half brother who's old enough to be his son. His mother got spooked on a phonecall and asked him not to contact her again.

With ancestry.com, you can start your search. I went to the birth registry for New York City for me and my friend.

4. My post is a joke!

I do know people who have found relatives they were unaware of with ancestry.com. One in particular located three brothers.
