Did my baby feet ever rest on my birthmother's hand?
Did my birth mother touch my baby feet with her hands? It's possible but I'll never know for certain. After a 20+ year search was completed for her I learned that she was deceased. I will always have some unanswered questions. But I'm so glad that I accepted the challenge to find my birth family and remained determined! I'm currently writing a book about my search and reunion with other family members. Stay tuned so you will know when it is published. I believe it will be an inspiring
story for all readers, whether their lives have been touched by
adoption or not. - Mary Lynn Fuller
Rights of Adoptees - Freedom of expression, doing what I believe
in, and going after my dream for all adult adoptees.
