My Story

Even though my adoptee life on planet earth began with great loss, it didn’t mean that I couldn’t thrive and climb the heights. It's been a tremendous challenge, however, because I grew up with an attachment disorder that made healthy relationships difficult...especially with my adoptive mom. Years later, what began as a fairy-tale reunion with my first mother, ended in gut-wrenching rejection. But, in the depths of that pit, I gained a sense of who I really am, and was able to go on with new confidence and purpose. Thanks to Ancestry.com, I found the paternal side of my family two years ago. My husband Bob and I have been married for 57 years and have two daughters and six grandchildren.
