Hey guys. Its been a while since i've updated you all on my journey through finding my birth family. I've had several send me messages asking how my search was going and if I ever found my birth family. I have'nt found them yet, but were getting really close. I must say that I'm very blessed by the new people i'm meeting on my journey. They have been really awesome to me in wanting to help me search for them. I've posted my information on just about all the sites you can think of and out of the blue one day I got a message on my facebook page for a guy who said he could help me and for me to contact him. So I did and he has… [more]

Im sittng here thinking back on my journey through my search for my birth family, and I must say it's been a very long one. I started my search a little over 14 years ago and may not have even started it if it wasn't for my mom and sister. All cause I knew who my family was and who loved me with all they had, not saying that my birth mom and family didn't cause they did love me enough to give me up for a better life. But the more they would ask me if I wanted to search for them the more it made me think of them and maybe they were wondering about me. So I started this long journey of my search.

With Mother's Day coming up, I can't help but think of my birth mother and my adopted mother. One carried me in her stomach and the other in her heart till the day she died four years ago. I can't imagine what was going through my birth mother's mine the day she gave birth to me knowing she was going to give me up. It must have been so hard on her.

She was the best mother any child could have ever asked for. She was always there for me. She loved me with all her heart and… [more]

Wow, I think back on when I was placed with my family and it just makes me smile. My first several years my mom was so afraid that if she didn't tell me about how they got me, that I'd learn it from someone else and she didn't want that to happen. So one day in the summer when I was about 4 years old, I was out playing with my cousin in the yard and I remember her calling me and sitting me on the bed. She told me she had something very important to talk to me about. Being a 4 year old, I said, "OK." She went into explaining to me that I didn't grow in her tummy like my sister did, that I grew in another woman's… [more]

Hello, My name is Rita Bradford, I'm 37 years old and was adopted when I was 9 days old. I was born in Nassawadox, VA on January 22,1975. I was adopted by a wonderful family. I'm so very thankful for them. I went from having no one to having a sister and a mom and dad. I'm currently searching for my birth family. I've been searching on my own for 14 years now. I'll get into more of that a little later, and I'll start from the beginning for now. I've often wondered how my birth mother must have felt the whole time she was pregnant with me and even the day she went to the hospital to give birth to me. She must have felt scared, worried, anxious,  and… [more]
