So I decided to hire a PI to search for my birth family again. It was a big decision, because it is expensive. But if I get any answers, it will be worth it. And what will I do with any information I receive? Will they find anything? I have to wait and see, wait and see, wait and see…
The “non-identifying information” I have, that the PI has to work with, is pretty scant, very vague. In fact, some of it may not even be true. If this PI firm finds my birth mother’s identity, I’ll do a little – no wait – a BIG dance. And if not, well, at least I will be able to say I tried. I’m determined to try everything. I’m 36, not getting any younger, not getting any closer to knowing my biological roots. And the older I get, the more it bothers me that I don’t know WHO I come from.
My next step may be to start lobbying the government to change the adoption disclosure laws. I’m building up my courage for that. So, for now, I wait…
GOOD FOR YOU! It’s a big step, and it takes a lot of courage–I really admire that about you. I’ve thought about hiring a PI to find my brother, but don’t yet have the guts to confront whatever might be discovered…keep “us” posted!
well, i’ve really got nothing to lose at this point. the worst scenario is never finding out who my b-family is… and i already know what that feels like. yes, you really do have to think about what you might discover…
