The other one was a boy, my only full blood brother. And we can't find him. Adoption records are sealed and it's possible he may not know he's adopted. I'm going to keep looking but I think the chances are pretty slim for finding him.
Stories like this always make me think of him and hope we do find him, and gives me some hope still. |
That's sad. If you know the adoption agency they have people that will work with you to help locate if they have a current address and if so they can contact the person and see if they are open to hearing from the birth relative.
Just keep trying. I know when I got pregnant in 1970 it was very different then today.
