Additional Info
I am primarily hoping to find my birth mother first. As she is likely to be about age 79 now, I wish to meet her and get to know her. I am also interested in finding any other members of my birth family. I know nothing of my origins. I hope to find that I have siblings! I have submitted my request for non-identifying information with the adoption agency, and I have sent in my DNA test to Ancestry. I have made contact with another adoption search resource as well. I am nearly 60 years old. I have been wanting to know my birth family all of my life. Time is not on our side. I hope to find them soon!
