Looking for my "new" half brothers birth mom. He found us a few years ago but we have not been able to find his birth mom. I believe our dad met her at the Four Seasons catering business in North Park (his mom and sister worked there too). If by chance anyone knows where she is.....pls let her know Bob had a great childhood and now that his parents have passed he would like to meet her. If she is not comfortable with that hopefully he can get some medical background information. He is a great guy and we feel so blessed to have him in our family now!! I finally have a "Big Bro". *May God bless everyone on this site and I pray we all find the peace we are searching for. Amen
