Yes. My wife had a wonderful meeting with the adoptive mother. They had adopted five kids, tow from Korea.
BTW, Here’s one for you: My wife’s father was an executive for United and made all the decisions regarding the fate of the baby.
In her conversation with the adaptive mother, My wife learned that the boy had Cerebral Paulsy, but only mildly. They did think he was going to be in a wheelchair his entire life. But thanks to physical therapy, now you would never know there had ever been anything wrong. But while going to four years of Physical Therapy, the adoptive mother said that one of the doctors from Children’s Orthopedic took a special interest in the boy and would just watch his therapy sessions. He had the same last name as my wife’s maiden name.
My wife showed the adoptive mother a picture of her dad and she said, yes, that’s Dr. [maiden name].
Her father had been checking the boy’s progress during his entire four years of therapy, and maybe longer.
Hard choices for everyone.
I am the adoptive mom of four, now grown kids.
All are in contact with their birthmothers and families.
My brother and sister had their’s done on Ancestry. Turns out my sister is our half sister (I had mine done when my sister found out). She discovered her new family and has been in touch with them. She now knows who her bio father is. I was just contacted by a person who was identified as my first cousin (less than an hour ago). Trying to figure out the link. His paternal link is from West Virginia, and my paternal link is from eastern Ky.
