Are You A Boomer Searching For A Birth Child?

Do you know if you have a birth child out there - a biological child that for one reason or another was given up for adoption? If you are the birth-mother, the answer would be, of course, yes.

There is one difference between male Baby Boomers and female Baby Boomers, besides the obvious, female boomers know if they have a child out there, a child they lost. Male Baby Boomers may suspect they have a child out there, but probably don't think much about it if they were never told of a pregnancy, they would be shocked to find out they did.

Are you looking for your birth child - your biological child... do you wonder if they are looking for you?

Back when we were young we usually had a choice of giving a child up for adoption. Yep, that was about the only choice, unless you were in a family that was open enough to take the looks of the neighbors and welcome the child into the home. Of course we all knew at least one person (or more) who went off and had an abortion, but that was either out of the country or so horrific that it was never discussed.

Are you a Baby Boomer starting an adoption search? You need to know it will likely be a difficult, emotional adventure. It can be full of emotional highs and frustrating lows. The search is worth it - but you need to be prepared for what may happen in the end.

Finding an adult birth child can be the best that has ever happened to both of you, yes, but it is very difficult for the birth parent(s) and the birth child, especially if one is looking and not the other.

My story...

"Finding Jamie"

I did not give up my child for adoption. He was taken from the hospital shortly after birth.

When I found out I was pregnant I was thrilled, though scared. I knew the moment he was conceived. I knew my child was a boy. I called him 'Jamie".

I was not of legal age when I gave birth. My child was taken from the hospital and given to his adoptive parents less than 24 hours after birth. He was stolen from me. I thought I was taking him home, I thought may parents would help me, I never gave permission for anyone to adopt him.

14 years ago this month (August 2006) I met my birth son for the first time. I cannot tell you the emotion that was involved. The joy, the fear, the love...

This is my story.

I hope to help others that may have faced, or are facing, this very emotional loss and trying now to deal with it.

I will also give you tips on how to try and find your birth-child and if you do, how to handle all the different emotions and questions/situations that come along with the reunion.

I invite you to register for the early release of my book. You just need to fill in the form below and I will keep you updated. Also feel free to drop me a note and tell me your story.
