Testimonial - Do Not Waste One More Single Waking Moment - Begin The Search

December 14th, 2007 • Related • Filed Under

“41 years is a long time, by anyone’s standards. It is also my age, which doesn’t feel like a long time. 33 years ago is ancient history to some folks. To me, it was just the number of years I knew I was adopted. My adoptive parents told me when I was seven. It was easy for me. I had the best parents, the best childhood, the best education. So, why complicate my life and others by trying to find my birth parents? I could live with the curiosity. And I did. Then all of a sudden, as if nothing else had occurred in my life, I was staring into the face of my daughter, barely one minute old. The gravity and reality of the decision my birth parents made crystallized before me. No human being could give up their child, their flesh, and then forget. I had to find my birth mother, period. Omnitrace looked good on paper, and checked out as a solid company. But I decided to trust them because they listened and understood my needs. They asked the difficult questions without judging the answers. It took a year. They gave me periodic updates, they were understanding when I felt frustrated, and they found my birth mother. And now, we are both going to be okay. I spent 33 years talking myself out of doing something which needed to be done. Do not waste one more single waking moment, begin the search. Steven B.”

    This was a powerful e-mail OmniTrace received from their client: Steven B. Although the e-mail was sent to OmniTrace, it was obviously meant for all those touched by adoption.

    Not like you I grew up with my birth mother who as a Catholic girl did a great injustice to her faith and her family by having me out of weddlock but, my mother showered me with love and so did the entire galgano family I was one of them no matter how I came into this crazy world. My mother worked hard and raised me by herself with every bit of love, understanding and I know that it was the hardest thing she has ever done. I was a crazy kid and I am now the mother of two of the craziest most beautiful loving girls I could have imagined being blessed with. My husband and my girls biological dad have meen married for about 14 years and my girls are 13 nad 11. As I see my husband (and the love of my life different story but equally as important) I see what a real father is all about. Although my mother did a wonderful job I also know what she gave up to raise me by herself. My father gave up his rights to me when I was 3 and he and his wife had a family of there own. He was reluctant to sign but my mother and my family felt it was best. This was 33 years ago and I have half heartedly tried to find him and my siblings but on my own I did not have the tools or the courage to go any farther. Now after living with a terrible disease that has tested the strength of my marriage (it it very strong) and my precious time with my girls I want to find my missing link for the sake of my mental and physical health. Your e-mail was insperational and I hope to have a simular result.

    Please excuse my spelling errors I type as fast as my brain can come up with info and the spelling gets lost in the shuffle ( did I mention that I have adhd on top of crohns disease) I love life I love family and I would love to know my father.
    Enjoy your birth mother as you have enjoyed your parents that gave their hearts and most of all enjoy your little girl and your daughters mother the best things in life are the ones we can hold in our hearts, and our arms. Some how these gifts make an imprint on our souls!!!

    Thank you for reading my story
