I left all of you with a cliffhanger yesterday.  I mentioned that I had rec&#8217;d the file of my adoption, and that I had discovered that I had a sister.  
That was ten years ago.  Soon after discovering this information my whole life turned upside down. My dad died, I moved in with my mom to help her out, and continued caring for my grandparents.  While I still wanted to know about my birth family, I didn&#8217;t have the time or space in my life to do it.

<p>I left all of you with a cliffhanger <a href="http://www.blisstree.com/2009/02/finding-your-birth-family/?preview=true">yesterday</a>.  I mentioned that I had rec&#8217;d the file of my adoption, and that I had discovered that <strong>I had a sister</strong>.  </p>
<p>That was ten years ago.  Soon after discovering this information my whole life turned upside down. My dad died, I moved in with my mom to help her out, and continued caring for my grandparents.  While I still wanted to know about my birth family, I didn&#8217;t have the time or space in my life to do it.</p>
<p>A few weeks ago I was finally <strong>ready to begin my search</strong>.  I entered my birth date and city of birth into one website that had some Wisconsin adoptions on it.  Within an HOUR (yes, an hour!), I got an email from someone that said they saw the same birth date and city on another database.  I checked out the website, and sure enough there was my birth mom&#8217;s name and what my name would have been.</p>
<p>Within just a few hours, I was able to contact (and hear back) from my birth mom and sister!  And it turned out I had <em>three </em>sisters!   Turns out they had been looking for me for a decade.  I was able to find them so fast in part because of all the information they had put out there.</p>
<p>In just a few short weeks I have met my birth mom, and have talked to my sisters.  It has been a positive thing thus far, and I look forward to getting to know these people as adults and friends going forward.  </p>
