The piece that's been missing
I was adopted at about 14 months old in 1973. I have been searching for my birth father for all my life.. my birth mother can barely remember his name sadly to say.. I have been continuously been searching online for him with no luck at all and the reason for that is all these people search sites claim they are completely free so you enter all your info about person your searching for and then they show you they have found say 20 names get you all excited then when you go to view the info BOOM all go to another page wanting money.. no matter which one I have entered my search for him in they are all wanting money even though the guarantee free searching they don't tell you that you won't be able to view what you do find.. I think this is very cruel especially to adopted children who are now adults and want to search for parents.. everytime I hit a wall cause well I can't afford what they want one company called me and got me all excited promising to find him then give me the price of $600.. is there any help out there is there anyone who actually helps adoptees find there birth families for low cost or free?. theres just no feeling like when there is something missing.. I will never fill complete not knowing who he is or just to have a picture.. well my birth name was tammy abreu I believe and my bfather's name is bernard or bernie hawkins or may just sound like hawkins, I know he would be at about 70 yrs old today if he is still alive.and he was in orlando Florida is where he from. My birth mother told me she saw my birth father a few yrs back at a store in orlando fla but she turned around and didn't say a word to him because she wasn't up to par with her appearance// my heart was crushed cause if he is dead that was my last chance to ever meet him... I was born at ORLANDO REGIONAL MEDICAL HOSPITAL IN ORLANDO FLA. MY DOB IS MAY 27, 1973. MY BIRTH MOTHERS NAME WAS SHARON.BUT SHE IS JUST NO HELP... she was 17 and he was 35 yrs old when she was pg with me.. is there any help out there?? Can anyone help?
Thanks for taking the time to read my frustration..
I think its wrong that these people search sites claim completely free but there not I haven't found one yet...
Thanks again
