I am adopted and 63 years old. I found out when I was 34 and both adoptive parents deceased. I tried to find out who my biological parents were but didn’t. My father before passing told me I was adopted at my age 34. He told me the agency and I contacted them but they only told me generic things. I did leave a letter in that file incase they wanted to find me but no one ever did.
Wish I knew who my real family was.
Can you help me in any way

I think TV shows like this are allowing the truth about adoptions to come out. As a birthmom, it is a huge thing to be able to talk about being a birthmom, esp if one has had to be silent because of the “shame” that was “unspoken” years ago. As an adoptee, it allows an “ice breaker”, someone can watch the show and initiate conversation about what if? As adopted parents, it was stated above in a post. We aren’t asking to take your child back. We are asking to share our health, our quirks, our talents, our ancestries with your/our child, more than likely an adult at this time.

I have heard that registered pets come with all sort of titles, health tests, ancestries information. And suggestions regarding temperaments/food/ ect. One breeder has a 35 page packet to go with her puppies.

Do we offer adoption families that much information? AND what does it feel like to wonder for 30 something years about your child. It was for me, a never ending feeling of sadness- that just laid beneath the surface of your heart. The world didn’t see it. but you knew it like a second job.. you couldn’t put a name on it, because it’s not recognized in society. Today those walls are coming down!

A birthmom in a successful reunion for 5 years. that includes aparents,bparents,and extended family.

“I hate the feelings i have for adoptive parents who would deny their children the opportunity to find out where they came from. On the same hand, if some one is not interested in searching that is their personal choice as well. But some day they wake up and start to wonder about things they have been denying.
Lets not forget the late discovery adoptees whose adopters just didnt tell them anything about being adopted.”

To Lisa don’t hold judgment on all parents who adopt and dont tell. I wish I wasnt told to protect me from the evil I found. I would have died if my parents had not adopted me. I also now have to worry they could track me back down because I looked. I wish I never would have.

I thought the show was a real tear-jerker, but it is reality. In my 30+ years in Social Services, I saw first-hand worse situations than this. I too, as a young mother, working in a hospital setting, seeing many unwanted newborns put up for adoption. One particular case I remember until today…a young single mother gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, the day she was being discharged she asked to go out to her car for her credit card to pay the hospital bill (she registered in-patient under an assumed name) she never returned for her newborn daughter. The hospital now had a newborn and no one to nurture & love her. She was taken away the next day by an adoption agency. That little girl must be about 25+ yrs. by now. I think that is more heart-wrenching than seeing “Find My Family” reunions on ABC. I also have known adoptees who wanted to locate their bio-parents for health reasons. I feel that if the individual takes that step to locate their family members thru the show, then so be it. If you don’t enjoy watching it, you don’t like ABC, or for any other reason, then TURN IT OFF or CHANGE THE CHANNEL, you are in total control of the situation. We have FREEDOM OF CHOICE

While the show only let us into one family’s happy reunion. They are not all like that and many adoptees feel more pain and are not healed by the reunion experience. Hopefully, this reunited family continues to have success.
Adopted parents who so object to this show, have you considered that no matter how happy your child is.. that he or she has natural parent fantasies? I mean come on .. as an adoptee it is perfectly natural to dream and wish for your original parents, however, the children keep it to themselves as they do not wish to hurt their parents.
As for the “children shouldnt be watching this show” comment.. well, what are you little children doing up at 9:30?? And why shouldnt they be aware that people are adopted and do wonder about their heritage and the people that they came from? Another thing, if you dont want your children watching a show like this.. parental controls.
There are a vast amount of adoptees and original parents searching for their children/birth parents.. google it for crying out loud and learn something.
Adoptive parents need to get over this my child crap. Sure we are your children, you adopted us.. but there is another side of the biological story. Thankfully, my parents always felt i had the right to know, and supported me during my search and find. Now that is a kind of a human, that adopts and stands by, not abandoning nor snubbing the nose and taking it personally.
By saying that you can not acknowledge the first family of your child.. does this mean that you can not acknowledge the love of step parents and step children as well. Open your eyes .. we are not gods children we are yours and theirs.
It is a shame that the adoptee rights were not mentioned as so many states are fighting for original birth certificates. Do you know that some people can not get drivers licenses or passports due to the AMENDED birth certificates that name you as our mothers and fathers?
The triad is a myth, a triangle is supposed to have equal sides, and the birth family has never been equal in this.
There is a history lesson underneath the whole issue of adoption.
For those searching.. there are search angels who work for free! and do not charge outrageous amounts of money to help find your birth parents and they are wonderful people who understand the plight of an adoptee.
I hate the feelings i have for adoptive parents who would deny their children the opportunity to find out where they came from. On the same hand, if some one is not interested in searching that is their personal choice as well. But some day they wake up and start to wonder about things they have been denying.
Lets not forget the late discovery adoptees whose adopters just didnt tell them anything about being adopted.
Like i said this is a bigger topic than just a 1/2 reunion.

Exactly, no one knows how we feel and the identity crisis we face because of all of the mix ups in our lives. I am 55 yrs. old and trying to find my biological father. My bio-mom is dead, but I managed to find my 3 siblings from her side. Now I need to find my fathers side.

My mother was kicked out of her home at age 12 because of her accusations of sexual abuse by a family friend. She managed to meet a man who was a gangster who held her captive for a number of years, until she escaped and went to California. She met a man at 15 and became pregnant at age 15 and had a girl…my sister and then met my father and had another child at 20. She adopted us both out when my sister was 7 and I was 3. We went to different families….but managed to find each other through networking all our lives!!!! I found my sister when I was 12!!! How lucky am I!!!??? We are still in touch and very close…

No one understands how we rejects feel…. Not to mention the need for medical history!!! I am way too old not to know what my medical history is…

My real father left a year after I was born. I guess the reason was because he was on coke. The new father I got raped me and my sister repeatedly. My maternal aunt asked me one time why I wanted to find him he’s on coke. I think I would have rather dealt with that than a child molester. I know one side of my real family just not the father side. I could have a whole new family. My adopted parents have passed away, so now I can look for him. The people that have a bad attitude about this show have not walked in our shoes! Until you do why don’t you keep your TRAP SHUT!!!!!

I must admit that I am very dissaopointed that ABC did not take the opportunity to discuss the current states of Adoptee Rights legislation in the USA that affects 6 million adoptees and their families. Please consider using the show to educate!

American-born adult adoptees in all but the states of Alaska, Kansas, Alabama, Oregon, New Hampshire and Maine do not have the right that unadopted American-born citizens do: The right to have a copy of their original birth certificate.

Today, millions of adoptees are routinely denied access to their original birth certificates. This show, Find mY Family is a great opportunity to bring awareness to the people, that this practice is discriminatory and harmful. If the remaining states restore unfettered access to original birth certificates for all adult adoptees, the beauty that was this show could be shared amounst all adoptees who desiresd to search for their birth families.

ABC; you have an obligation to the people and to all adoption members everywhere to support adoptee rights, not just get good ratings; http://adopteerights.net/

@slappedinthefacemom

All I want is the opportunity to answer all the unanswered questions, princes or paupers I don’t care. I just want to know. It would also be nice to tell them they made a good decision and not a mistake.

If my birth parents don’t want the intrusion so be it, end of story.

By: Charles Jameson

Charles Jameson — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 04:19:18 +0000

All I know is my birth parents were High School Sweethearts and my birth father was athletic. They supposed to have lived in Western Kansas and my birth Mother was sent to Kansas City to avoid the unwed mother stigma of a small town. That was later recanted by Mom (to my Dads dismay)and she informed me she may have been a prostitute.

Too my misfortune I was born in the State of Missouri at the Florence Crittenton Home for Unwed Mothers (now St. Lukes Hospital) on September 8, 1962, I was nicknamed Baby Bert and went to live with my parents on October 31, 1962. Since my adoption was finalized prior to August 13, 1986, the adoptive parents must be notified first, and a search will only be conducted if the adoptive parents agree.

Missouri had a Judge that was trying to change that law but he found himself on the wrong end of a elevator shaft in an abandon building.

Growing up my Mom and Dad always told me if I ever wanted to find my birth parents they would assist me. But when I made the request my Mother would not consent. She said it should be not important to me that I know……Really MOM? Isn’t that lying Mom?

I am aware some people like my Mom who don’t appreciate the show, but there are many who are adopted who do. I think you ought to walk a mile in my shoes before you open your trap. Because unless your adopted you don’t understand because you now all the pieces to the puzzle whereas we are missing pieces of the puzzle. Being adopted, it is like being a number or letter bingo or lotto. You got thrown in the hopper and someone picked you, you didn’t pick them. If your lucky like me you got two loving (for the most part) parents who took wonderful care of you.

According to Mom those pieces to the puzzle should not be important to me……Really Mom?

Family Counselors told Mom it would do wonders for our relationship…..And she wonders why we don’t have a ‘Warm and Loving’ relationship.

Her lowest of low was after my newborn son was in Stage 3 NICU with similar respiratory problems as I had in my early years. We asked Mom for consent as a means to obtain more medical history…..You don’t need that she said. WOW that was a splendid performance.

Despite her behavior she is my ‘Mom’ and always will be. And the best present she could ever give me is C-O-N-S-E-N-T.

The show is GREAT! It give me a new hope that someday I will find my son David Karl Quimby Sharp, DOB July 1997 Boise Idaho. He was adopted shortly after. I have always loved and missed him and included him even in his absence. He was so perfect and so beautiful when he was born. I held him, I named him and I gave him gifts. He should be able to love me or hate me but not have to wonder who I am.

I watched with mixed emotions as the new show, “Find My Family” aired. Both the co-hosts, Ms. Joyner and Mr. Green, profess that they were both adopted, like somehow that fact makes it “ok” that they are now taking reality TV to a low I never thought I would see.

I get it – the birth mother/father make a supreme sacrifice and always wonder if the baby they gave up is ok. I get it – the adopted child always wonders who are their birth parents. It’s normal and I get it so much so that as the mother of a 12 year old son that we adopted at birth, we have always told our son that when he is an adult, we will do everything in our power to help him find his birth parents. Notice I did not say family, because biology does not instantly equate to family in all cases.

I thank God every day for my son’s birth mother who entrusted him to us. He is not ours, nor hers, but God’s. So what he ultimately chooses with respect to finding his birth relatives will be up to him. No matter how the fact that I am not enough, or as the producers of this show contend, somehow not really “family”, I will support him when and if his journey takes him down this path because I love him.

But this show romanticizes the very complex and painful realities often associated with adoption. It is irresponsible to exploit these emotions in a public forum in such myopic vignettes. Particularly when kids of all ages will watch this show and think that they too will have these happy endings. How many tweens and teens will go to bed after watching this saccharine show thinking that their real “family” will be the solution to all their problems if only they could find them?

This show will have a lot more credibility with me if they have the courage to portray someone whose “family” turns out not to want to be found. Or better yet, if they follow up on the reunions they have made to fully portray the process of merging an adopted family with the birth relatives of the adopted person. But I fear stories of this sort may not be viewed as the stuff that makes good TV.

I wonder how the adoptive parents of Green and Joyner feel about their children’s new gigs. I sure hope they think this is a better idea than I do, or every time this show airs they may feel like they are being slapped in the face somehow. I know I sure do.

Christi, there was a casting call, but for now all (6) of the episodes of the show that were ordered have already been produced. Whether ABC will order any more episodes other than the ones set to air will probably depend on the ratings. I’d make sure to watch the end credits that run after the sixth episode airs to see if they say anything about participating.

No one knows the agony of a lost child until you go through this separation. All your life you wonder at how wonderful a child you have given up. It is almost like having an arm ripped off, or losing a hand. My heart says, “Thank you”. It encourages me to look again until I an reunited with my son after 39 years! Sharon

This has been a very touchy subject for him his mother is gone now so we have nothing she would not give him any info about him just that he is died but for some reason I think there is more to the story. can you please help me close this chapter in my life so I could move on and be a good father to my kids because I have alot of questions that need answers . Thank you Henry Smith

I would like to also add a comment to all this nonsense. Adoption is nothing to take lightly, and it is difficult for all parties involved. If you took the time, you would see how many people out there are searching for someone or something in their life that has been missing. I read some of these comments and it made my blood boil. I will tell you that I am one of the families involved in the show, and it is REAL! Thank God for ABC! Bringing families back together, when all other efforts have come up with nothing! Both parties involved have to give the ok. If both parties were not willing to reunite, there would be no show! Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but if you don’t have all the facts, please keep them to yourself. You have no right to pass judgment about how the families involved are feeling or why we chose to do the show without knowing the whole story. If you dont want to watch the show, then dont. It wasnt done for your approval. If you take the time to watch the show you will see how much this whole process has affected both families. It is a very real. If you watch the show, and you can say I am an “actor” then I deserve an oscar!

My brother Herbert and I were put up for adoption in 1949, San Diego, Ca. My brother is 11 months older than me. My father was in he Navy, and my mother was a waitress in a cafe. Shortly after I was born, my father was due back from sea duty. When my mother went to the greet him, he had already been met by his wife and 3 children. Not being able to emotionally deal with the pain, my brother and I, who represented this betrayal were put up for adoption. The doctor who adopted us, gave me back after seeing my skin become darker than my brothers’. My mother is Dutch, and my father is French decent. I was later placed with a black family. When my mother would come to visit the Francis’s to see how I was adjusting, I thought she was a Social Worker, for I was one of 8 foster boys being cared for. I have been searching for my biological mother and brother since I was 18. I am now 61. Can you possibly help. My birth date is June 22, 1948

I can tell you even now it all seems so unreal but is,and to see the look on my Mom’s face or hear the joy in her voice as she speaks to her sisters is priceless. I know now as she watches this show this time she will not set and cry wondering what happend to her sisters, cause now she will already know, it used to be she would cry and watch shows like unsolved mystries as they would show some one searching for there family, and it hurt to see her hurt. so I can tell any one if u are searching never give up they are out there some where and it is worth the find.

When I was between the age of 1 and 2 yrs, my mother had ran away with me from New York coming to Califorinia. I was not aware of this fact until the age of 16 yrs old. We were cleaning out an old shed in the backyard when I had come across pictures of me held in most by someone else than who I thought was my father. I had questioned my mother and she reluctantly gave in and told me a long shorted story that in todays world sounded like child abduction. She made me vow I would never seek out my father for fear of legal punishment. She had passed away almost two years ago and I have searched the internet many times with only dead ends. I feel like part of me is has always been missing not knowing my birth father. Please help if you can.
Thank you

Greetings, My daughters and I have been separated not by me but their mother since they were 5 and 3 years old. With the advent of the internet I have kept my name and contact information out there. They only need to go online. Recently I found my eldest daughter walking to the subway in Brooklyn, New York. Today she is 23, I pulled my car over as she approached me on Ralph Ave. She immediately recognized me and made a very nasty statement as she kept walking. I jumped back in my car and followed her as she walked to the next train station at Utica Ave. My wife tried to catch her but she ran into the station and unto the train. Today I assume their mother has poisoned their minds and hearts against me, which increases the pain. If you could bring us together I will give it my all to get their love back. My love is without question for my daughters.

My real birth name is Tangie Knowles but, is currently Tangie Woodson. I am not sure if my real mother sarahphinea knowles had a husband or was married I would also like to know who my real father is too. The main reason for wanting to find my biological family is because I want to know my ethic race who am I. Am I Indian? Candian? African? what race is I mainly mixed with?
