I posted my message looking for info on my father.  I had an email from a cousin I haven't seen in 36 years. Since then I have found family I didn't even know existed. Sadly, my father had died long ago, but to have found my cousins and to know I have half brothers and sisters, more than makes up for the years I missed. I plan to make a trip soon to be reunited. Message boards work..thank you so much..keep up the good work.

I found my daughter and granddaughters in August and She had been looking for me too. My life is now complete.

Remember the e-mails we sent each other last week? My neighbour Jacky and me (Inge) were desperately seeking MaryBeth Hart... You advised us to call your show one day and we decided to keep that suggestion open as our last possibility. Well, we don't need it... a bit of a pity on one side, but on the other that means MaryBeth is found!!!!!!!
We sent a letter to the school where she had been on in 1980, and today we got an e-mail of them with her nowadays address plus a phone number. So I phoned her and got her answering machine... it was so strange hearing her voice after all these years! I left a message, immediately wrote a letter and now I hope I'll hear anything from her soon. She knows I'm searching
for her, her school has been in touch with her to ask if they could send me her address and phone number. It seems that she's living in Salt Lake City now, while we have been searching in New Hampshire and Massachusetts...
You can understand how happy I am, Jacky and I celebrated with a good bottle of wine!!
Thank you so much for answering the e-mails, for the tips you gave... We both wish you a lot of success in bringing people together again and lots of happiness for the future!!

A old friend of mine from 20 years ago was able to find me thanks to your site! I have always wondered what happened to her, and now thanks to you, I no longer have to wonder because she sent me a e-mail that floored me!!!

Could you please delete my messages as I have now found my father. My message numbers are: 46523
& 46524. Thank you very much for letting me post my message on your page and I will continue to use it,
especially for your genealogy page. I have also found out I have quite a large family in the United States.
Once again many thanks.

I have wonderful news!! You may remove posting number 46092. My husband was recently united with his birthmother after almost 26 years. What a wonderful reunion!!! We first began looking for basic information on our own and then I contacted a searcher. We had limited success with the first searcher.
After approximately 5 months, I contacted International Locator www.bighugs.com. They found her within
3 business days. It was absolutely amazing!! The reunion aired on the Dr. Joy Browne show on November 22, 1999. My husband and I can now have children because we know his medical history. I wish all of you the best of luck and I highly recommend International Locator. They were very nice to my husband and I. You all deserve to know your past and your medical history. Knowing this information should be a basic right. My husband will be spending his 26th birthday with his birthmother for the very first time. What a wonderful Christmas present!! :) We have so much to be greatful for this holiday
season. God has truly blessed us.
Sincerely,
Christel Lewis

I would like the message removed that I posted no. 30248.   I am pleased to announce that we found my wife's birthparents after 41 years. It was the most happy emotional event that my wife has ever experienced. It was a long 9 year search but well worth it. Thank You Randy and Lisa Castor, 605 W. Main St. Mahomet, Il 61853. P.S. I hope everyone searching has a happy reunion such as my wife's. They deserve it and also deserve the right to know !

re: Leroy Colegrove jr. Linda;
Just wanted you to know since I posted in your registry, and you read my letter on radio, I have made contact with my father's family.  My dad died about 4 years ago but I talked to my half brother and MY AUNT, and a lot of  cousins.  I have a half sis.  But as my parents were divorced no one knows about my mom.  Also I have 1-whole bro. that I did not know about.  I am not sure which post they found as I posted at least 100 different ones.  I am in the process of notifing everyone. JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU
Sincerely Roy Krauss

Please delete message #48097.  We have found our friend, Glenda, thanks to The Seeker and Lewis Screening and Research Services.   Within days of
my  posting this ad, I got a phone call and was put in touch with my friend, who I haven't seen in 21 years.   Myself and another friend, spent about 4 hours talking to her by phone on Saturday and plan to get together for the
weekend coming up.  We can't wait to see her, but that voice on the phone the 1st phone call was like magic. Thanks again so much!!

Please remove messages 26838 and 28800 we found my husbands birth mother.  It was not through this site but the information I gathered from related sites led me to a list of Joans born the same day as her. Luckily there were only 15 names. I sent letters to each one and received a letter back from one saying she was his mother. They have been corresponding for a couple of months now, my husband wishes to take it slowly. Thank you so much for posting messages on your web site!

Dear Linda and friends,
This is so great! After 15 years of looking for people it took one email directly to you guys and we are all back together!
In the Netherlands we have a similar organisation, called Spoorloos ("without Trace") and the other day I was teaching computer sciences to some people of
their editorial staff. Naturally I told them on your success and showed them your website. They went beserk of enthusiasm. I'am sure they will contact you soonish.
In Holland they have a weekly televison show in which they will try to find people and long lost relatives.
However their objective may also be to find fathers who never saw their children due to war or divorce or different family reasons. The story behind the scene is always good drama for tv.

Hello my name is Chantal Gray, I placed an ad with your site and guess what I have found the old friend I was looking for. Unfortunately it was not from placing the
ad, it was the first and only e-mail address I had found on the exact name I had found. If that is not fate I don't know what is. He did visit your site to print out a
copy of the ad I placed looking for him after I told him I placed it. My old friend, Joseph Pomponio, we were very close friends in elementary school in Fort Meade,
Maryland 23 years ago. I had lost touch with him and often wondered what ever came of him. Now I know.

Thank you for being there for me to place the ad it is nice to know there are places that are free to place a ad like this.  Thanks
Chantal Gray

Please remove the add number 7623. I was able to find my birthson thru an intermediary. They are avalable in the state of AZ as long as the child you are searching for is 21. Our first and primary contact is over the internet. I had only talked to him twice by phone before I went to see him for a weekend. The fourteen hour drive was worth it.
With ICQ, I talk to him almost every day. Thank you for letting me post an add on your site.

I'm happy to report our search is over, after 30+ years. The day before Thanksgiving, our long lost sister Patricia Ann was located. Various efforts over the years had been unsuccessful. We did write to Social Security in hopes of having a letter forwarded, but it appears they may have ignored our appeal. Finally, my sister Mary called Soc Sec to follow up
and I guess got someone who was sympathetic. We were able to get Patricia's married name which has been the stumbling block all along. Unfortunately, our efforts thru 1800USSearch, etc produced a long list of women with 1st name of Patricia and her date of birth, but it turns out she wasn't on that
list.

Please remove my ad from The Seeker. I found my old friend! How? At his 20 year class reunion!
Thanks,
Yvonne Kistler

Editor's note:  Now THERE'S a good idea!  Just show up!  Some alumni associations won't tell you where someone is, some will forward messages, but just show up at the reunion, you'll find your ole pals!  Someone HAS to know where they are!

I found my daughter I gave up
I gave a baby up in 1972 and her and I have found one another. I had updated my file through the adoption agency in 1988.  She called the agency in 1972 and found out about me within 45 mins.  I believe in a adopted child having a right to there birth info.   The daughter I gave up for adoption
has an adopted brother and two adopted cousins who are still trying to find their birth moms.

I was looking for my birth neice who we hadn't heard from in 21 years. We found her three months ago in Palmdale, CA. I kept requesting a list of persons with her birthdate, and eventually one was listed that was her.
My brother, her father, was reunited with her and they have spent time together. She also has 2 small daughters and he is grandpa. Everything has turned out very good and we are all very happy.
Please remove my message trying to locate Fawn Christy Jean Fagan.

I was very pleased to find my old friends, Rich & Kathy Cooper. I did it by checking the telephone directories in the last State they were in and calling every one of them until I found the right one!! It was worth it!! We are now keeping in contact...and great friends!

Birth son FOUND!
With a tremendously GRATEFUL heart I can happily request removing my ad # 18822 from you records. It was totally God's will & His time that I was able to locate my son, Jeff. Once he was located, I drafted probably the most difficult letter of my life which he received wonderfully. Jeff & I have had several phone conversations but have yet to actually "reunite" face to
face. We've exchanged pictures and I proudly show him off to everyone.
Just have one more hurdle to jump & that's telling my other two sons & my dad, that I found the baby I relinquished back in 1961. They KNOW about him but NOT that I've found him.
To everyone out there still searching - PLEASE continue to be
persistant - but one word of caution, Go slow!! Try to remember you're dealing with LOTS of emotions/fears/cares & nothing that happens fast is worth it. Trust me, I've been there & have been @ this for many years.
May God continue to anoint the searches & searchers. Thanks again,
Sharon L. Platt (Pollard)

I would like to remove my ad #25414. Thankfully, I found my sister, and will not need to look further. I think your service is a priceless one for people who are looking for someone. Please continue to offer it!!
Best regards,
Thurma Livingston

I found out what happened to my friend, but I can't seem to delete my message #26857 I am sorry to report I found out my friend was killed in an automobile accident, there was not a "happy ending" but there was "closure".
Please delete my message for me.
Thank you.

BEST DAY OF MY LIFE
My name is Penelope Partch, I have been searching for my son for sometime but not to any great length. Three weeks ago, I accidentally found a sight , (although
I had started with The Seeker) called Reunion Registry. Got involved, got discouraged, finally found it again after going to lunch, finally completed all of the information that they required from me and found a date that looked very promising from someone else looking for a birthmom. Thank you
Seekers for setting me on a road that would change my life completely.  By the end of the day I had a message from Big Hugs in Florida, then another call from New York, a week end of total stress waiting for calls, I was given limited information on having a possible "match" this all spiraled into the most tense, most exhilarating event in my entire life, meeting my
son for the first time, a rebirth, an exhale, instant love and recognition.  All of course on national T.V. - not recommended for all people, but I would do it all over again. This all has provided a completion, growth, and tremendous grief and may other emotions to many to name. Thank you, I never
thought that I would hold special recognition for the internet but you were the stepping stone for miracle happening.
God Bless You.
Penelope Partch

I have a couple messages posted on your sight. I've been looking for old tech school roomies and classmates. I have had some good luck and some bad, I have found 3 of my ex-roomies only to have one pass away 3 months later.
They were found thru the search engines people locators, tell people not to give up not all with e-mails are listed. I had to resort to snail mail for  two. I have also found 4 classmates these have been accomplished thru mass email/locator searches and snail mail to the marine corps and a phone
directory search with a phone call. they were assisted by an identifier word the class had used as a motto the word was a shortening of a phrase that had alot of meaning in its time any classmate was sure to recognize it. So for those I still seek "dilligaf" dougfixit. Thanks for your place to list.
