These things don't always turn out really well. I hope your story has a happy ending.

I got very excited reading your story and thought possibly you were my birth mother until I saw this all took place in Chicago. My mother also was in a maternity home for unwed mothers but it was "St.Anne's " in Los Angeles, CA. <br />I later found out from my adopted parents that she gave me the "Lynn Michelle Shiek ".<br />I have been searching the internet for years and have registered on the adoption registry but have had no luck. I will always have an empty place in my heart until I find her..

I never understood what was so awful about it. It was biology to me even back then. I guess I've always been accepting of what others chose to do, except for those with whom I had intimate relationships. Instead of accepting, I tried to change them. Weird. <br />Thanks for telling your story MC.Sydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642843245634635843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472085.post-4349018144915060072009-11-13T08:10:41.812-07:002009-11-13T08:10:41.812-07:00Andrew told me of that feeling of "coming hom...Andrew told me of that feeling of "coming home."<br /><br />I cannot imagine a substance having that hold on a person.Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09496172669599418214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472085.post-89724734327892835952009-11-13T07:58:45.987-07:002009-11-13T07:58:45.987-07:00Alcoholism doesnt descriminate on age, sex, race, ...Alcoholism doesnt descriminate on age, sex, race, creed or whatever...
