I'm curious - just thwap me if it's annoying. How old were you when you were adopted? sambear was adopted at birth, and has no information at all about his birth parents.

Finding Birth Parents

There are a lot of great resources on the Web for finding your birth parents. This is the one I used to find mine. I like it, because in order for it to work, BOTH parties (parent[s] and child[ren]) have to submit their information. That way, you never have to wonder if the person you get in contact with is really willing to be contacted.

I went to live with the Albertinis when I was 2, but the adoption didn't finish until I was 15.
