I DETEST my birthday, and single handedly manage to make it miserable each and every year. 

Good luck!

wow...this is awesome. I want to meet my birth mom at some point in time; but i am korean and i dont know much about it all...

I know there is record of a birth mother which my adoption agency can track, but in Korea its worse for the mother to get found out she had a kid outside of whatever marriage she is in now...i dont know...

i'll live vicariously through your stories...:) maybe one day, i'll have my own.

wow your really into all this arent you! thats so awesome. i hope it all works out. ill be praying for you that it does. i still have about three more years till its even legal for me to start looking and i totally cant wait. my parents said my graduation present will be a plane ticket to where ever she might be. im stoked about it alreasy! well just wanted to say your in my prayers.

ps im the creator of "yes im adopted" if you were wondering...

Just came across your site.  I too am adopted, and was able to meet with my birth mother almost 11 years ago.  I'm not sure if it is everything that we ever wished for...you know...there is a feeling of completion I believe...if nothing else.....we're in the process of adopting a 6 year old girl whom we've had for 2 years.. I've always had the heart to do that.  Wanting to give someone else a home, to have a second chance in life.....are you close to your adoptive family?

Blessings, Monique
