No, we did not find her mother yet.
I posted her guest post (see below, or Adoptee learns to live out loud by finding herself) late last night but forgot to add how Terri and I became acquainted. After reading another story of hers about her growing need to find her biological parents, I wrote about her in Adopted People Are Not Allowed Ancestry Because It Might Upset Somebody. She found the blog, contacted me, and thus began a friendship. She was born in 1966, the same year as my daughter, whom most of you know committed suicide. The fact that Terri was the same age as my daughter added a special poignancy to our friendship.
I put her in touch with a searcher friend, also Jennifer, who tried, but she could not find the "Jennifer" she was looking for. Later later, Terri wrote a piece for Newsday that I put up as a permanent page: Looking for my birth mother.

Wow, so much good stuff to read! I'll have to look at it all again, and study it, when I'm more fresh and alert!
ReplyDeleteI just now followed the link and did a quick skim [Oh, yeah, a skim is quick!] of the November 3, 2009, "Adopted People Are Not Allowed Ancestry Because It Might Upset Somebody," and, I must say, it was quite funny [besides, of course, informative and educational]. I actually, for REAL, laughed at least 3 times. Thanks!
