I think people should, in general, choose not to have abortions

[calimary]

134. I hired a woman whose business was "The Adoption Specialist."

She was recommended to me by a longtime friend with whom I'd gone through grade school and high school. She was adopted and hired this lady, and was able to find a biological sister. She was very pleased and suggested I check it out if I was ever interested. Worked for me, too. But I wound up having to pay more than twice what it cost my friend because her search was undertaken in California where the information is more openly available, whereas mine had to be in a closed state, where I was adopted. If you PM me, I'll be glad to give you her contact info, wercal. Ask me anything.

I'd already attempted to dig up information on my own but got nowhere, and with the hurdles of red tape that confronted me, I didn't know what to do or how to proceed, I had no internal contacts that might help me, and I kinda ran out of steam. Other stuff comes up, you know how it is. My friend said it sounded like I needed professional help. Glad I took the risk. Actually, the hardest part was getting over ME, and my own trepidations! Mainly, I was afraid. I was hesitant about forking over that much money because of the risk of coming up empty-handed, although I would have only been charged half the amount if the search turned up nothing. I didn't know if I was ready to face that prospect. What if I went that far and still came up empty? I wasn't sure how I'd feel about that. I really only wanted to know medical history, and thought it'd be kinda neat if I could also ever know what they looked like, but that wasn't as urgent. Finally, I just took a deep breath and said "what the hell?" And I went for it. It took a year. And it paid off. But it was a risk. Scary. It's a real shot in the dark.
