well to tell you the truth I am seaching for my mother because I feel empty inside. I want to know what happen? why me? who are the others? I know they were with us in the beginning and they seperated us? I need to know who she is so i can finally figure out what is missing in my life. I feel that she is the one missing. that she is what i want to know. who i came out like was i a crack baby like my adoptive parents say i was? Why is it that i have the dreams that one i am goin to see her? who did i come out like? why i believe she is still alive? I need to know these answers so that I can complete the puzzle that has been missing in my life.

I completely understand your plight. You have to understand a few simple things first. It is going to take a significant amount of hard work to track them down, and that’s not even the difficult part. The hard part here is preparing yourself for the reality that they may not want to be found or worse. I pray that this is not the case, for all you know she is looking for you too, but you have to be prepared none the less.

I will help keep this thread alive to help you in your search. I am also confident that the other members will also join in to assist you, but this is going to require a great deal of personal effort on your part.

I know this may sound silly, but you can try posting an ad on Craig's list in every major city. You never know, she might respond.

Thanks for the support and i will take your words in consideration. I am ready to take what it is that is thrown at me. If she doesnt want to meet me then that is a chapter in my life I will have no choice but to close. I want to know who I am but if that question can not be answered by my birth mom then I will look and find me somewhere else. the only hard thing with that is my questions will go unanswered and it will hurt me a little but i put my part to search and find the answers but if what I am lookin for doesnt want to be found, then i cant do anything else. Thanks for the help and I pray that i do find her. Do not give up on me and this research because I do not plan to give up. Thanks for the support

Well it seems like your mind and heart is geared in the right direction, I will keep digging for some useful information in the mean time. Any other specific information about your past you feel comfortable sharing will help.

Just don't be passing out personal info that can lead to identity theft!

I personally don't know what the word quit means.... I might have to look it up in the Dictionary for a refresher! lol

This is what i wrote on the Craiglist:

I am an 18 year old female in search of my Biological mother. I have been in foster care since birth (or so I am told). My hair color is dark brown, I am light skin, I am Puerto Rican (as far as I know). I was raised in Puerto Rico as well in miami. I was in a foster home called Children Home Society and another one called Hands in Action. I have a sister as well and she is Puerto Rican (as far as we know) she as well as me are mixed with another race.

I am looking for my mom to know more about me and who I am. If you are out there and you really do not care to meet me its oka all i ask is that you please answer some questions. I need to close this chapter in my life but i need some answers. No i do not need anything all i am asking is answers to close the chapter in my life that has been hurting me for a long time.

So please if you are out there contact me. I will be waiting for you as well looking for you.

This is the most i can give out on computer and this may help you a little bit. Thanks

That’s a good start. You may have to post that ad in several cities. Additionally, you may have to keep reposting on a regular basis to keep the ad on top of the stack. I will cross my fingers and say some prayers for you! Let me know how it goes! If I find other resources, I will send them your way.

Coy Campbell · Feb 11, 2008, 04:52 PM

Oka thanks, But one question how do i put it in all the cities do i have to wait some time or can i post all at once

Sand Daddy · Feb 11, 2008, 04:56 PM

Good question, I haven't used it in awhile...... I want to say you have to wait, but you can try and contact Craig's List to see if they can assist you in listing in all cities.
