when you're caught up in the
day-to-day of living. I always figured he must be doing fine as
he hadn't called me. Then
late in 2003 our father passed away. I needed to find my brother,
but all the contact info
that I had was old and of no help. So I did some looking on the
computer.
I found some stuff on my
brother but seemed to mostly end up at some high dollar pay-to-search
or genealogy site. Even with
some well meaning e-mails from people and various law enforcement
agencies, I was getting
nowhere. After 4 months I stumbled onto The Seeker and
posted an "ad".
Within 2 days I received 2
"new" addresses! Letters went out the next day. One was
forwarded
(he had just moved -
again...) and my brother was found! I feel very lucky that I found
him alive
and well - and so fast;
even if it was to deliver bad news. I will try harder to keep track
of my
own family after this, but
it is comforting to know there are people that are so knowledgeable
and willing to help. I will
keep coming back to The Seeker to read
the "ads". Maybe some day I
might be able to help
someone in return. Thanks! and Kudos! to all the Angels who responded to
my need!

Linda, Thanks so much for the
emails...but I recently located my birth son, Ryan. I had only been
searching for him for about five months if that, and he was found.
We met about a week or two after we first spoke. He has met his
brother and sister and has an ongoing relationship with them and myself.
In fact, he is coming in town tomorrow to go to a concert with his sister.
They are only 16 months apart, so they have some things in common.
Good luck to everyone and I hope that they do find who they are searching
for. It ended being great for me because now I don't have that doubt
that I had for twenty years on where and if my child was ok. He
didn't know he was adopted until he was 18, he is 20 now but said he
wanted me in his life as soon as he knew. Best wishes, Michaeleen

Due
to your free web sight I found my brother after 29 years of being lost
without him, I can't even begin to explain thankful I am to the
seekers. I will up date you when we have the money fly out to AZ to meet him
face to face. I live in MI and he lives in AZ. You will never fully
understand how happy this has made my father, my brother and myself. Thank
you from the bottom of my heart.
Forever grateful, Charlene Bradley
Hey Everyone,
I just wanted to let you know that
they do wonderful work at this website. I placed two ads for lost
friends and they have found both of them alive and well. If you need
to find someone than this is your place.

I just want to say that The Seeker.com was so useful in helping me
find an old pen pal. The service was efficient as well as friendly.
I just want to recommend this to anyone who has lost touch with a friend
or family member. The Seeker will help you find that person quickly
and easily. Thanks again Simone.
Sara Hampton
I
would like to especially thank Ed, Bob, Johnny, and Simone for the great
work that you did in helping with my search for my brothers. The information
that you found and sent to me brought my search to a long awaited end. I
finally have the big brothers that I have been searching for. I looked for
them off and on for the past 15 years and now I found them or I should say
that you found them. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. April 1,
2004 I made the phone call to Bobby Lee and I knew from the moment he
answered the phone that my search was over. He made a conference call and we
had William on the phone, he thought that it was an April Fools' Day joke,
he was thrilled to find out that it was no joke and I really am his sister.
We live across the country from each other so right now we are just
emailing, calling and sending conventional mail to each other . This will
have to do until we can all afford to take a trip to California to be with
each other in person. The reason that we will someday meet in CA. is because
my brother Thomas P. had a bad motorcycle accident and can't really travel.
I have so much to be grateful for and you guys are truly angels.
Thank You Again,
Fran Carroll

About a week ago I posted trying to
locate my cousin Debbie, whom I haven't seen in almost 30 years. All
those years we wondered what had become of her, not knowing anything.
I began to research our family genealogy about 3 years ago, and always knew
that a part of our history was missing concerning Debbie. So I posted
in hopes that Debbie or someone who knew of her could help me. I
posted at The Seeker and Simone wrote back to
me, offering assistance. To make a long story short Simone helped me
find Debbie, with whom I had the pleasure of talking to for almost 2 hours
today. And we are planning a reunion this summer. For those
still looking for their relatives I say keep the faith!! It was a
bazillion to one shot of finding Debbie, and she was found. Some
where, some how, some day, you will knock on the right door. So
keep posting, and never stop looking !!! Best wishes,
Denese
My name is Geneise and I want to tell
you a wonderful dream that became a reality. I have a half sister that I
haven't seen since I was 1 year old. I am 42 now. Our father has recently
been diagnosed with cancer and I decided it was time to look for her. I only
knew her last married name, what state I thought she was in and the year she
was born. First I went through findpeople.com, paid my fee, and they did not
find her. I then luckily ran across The Seeker. They were all so diligent in
looking for her. My dream came true and they did find her!! I called her and
we talked for hours. Thanks to Simone, Mister
Keene, Bob and especially Johnny!!! Very Kind people. We need more of them
in this world.
Geneise
Thank
you for your message board. I found my birthmother even though she
wasn't looking for me. I was helped by a search angel who helped me
fight my way through the internet. We have been in contact and
exchanged pictures and I am extremely happy as is she. Thanks for your
help. You can remove my message. The number is 107872. Thank
you again.

Linda, I wanted to thank you for
connecting me to Gale Sipple. She has located my
son, and has given me great advice on handling the initial contact. I have
researched a little more since I received her information, and if this is
the son that I placed for adoption well I am a grandmother of two!
Karen McGuigan
I recently posted a bulletin
at your site searching for my lost love. I was desperately seeking her
as I had to be away for year and we could have no contact at this time.
I was contacted by one of The Seeker's Search
Angels, Simone, and after an (extensive) search came back
with the info I needed. We are now reunited and I owe it all to Simone
and your site. Simone kept me posted daily and I felt as if she really
cared. She is awesome at what she does. Thank you Seeker and kudos to
Simone.

I am writing you to inform you about 3
very special Search Angels you have working with
you. They are Bob, Johnny, and Simone. They have done so much for are
family, it is amazing.
First they (your Angels) popped up out of the blue after a post I made about
searching for my husband's and my families. My husband was searching for his
birth mother, sister, and 3 brothers. I found the sister and mother on my
own. Your Angels found 2 of the boys and the mother connected us to the
last brother. Then I was looking for my birth father, 2 sisters,
and a brother (not yet found but the Angels are looking). Needless to
say they did it again - found my father and 1 sister and my aunt who adopted
my sisters and who connected me to the other sister I was looking for and
then my brother. So in just a little under a week they found all 10 family
members who were missing in our lives.
We owe them so much and are so grateful
for their efforts that we don't know what to say but thank you they are all
angels. My husband and his family have bonded and doing fantastic and
they are overwhelmed with joy, happiness, and sincerity. As for me, the
reunion with my father did not work but my sisters and I are getting along
fantastic and I ended up with 2 aunts 3 uncles 2 more brothers and a
lot of excitement, love and hospitality.
We owe this to your Search Angels, so
Bob, Johnny, and Simone, we thank you from the bottoms of our hearts and we
will never forget you all. You all have fulfilled our lives with new
family's, love, joy, gratefulness, excitement, happiness, a lot of tear,
laughs and a life time of memories.
Your 3 are most definitely angels and
fantastic at their jobs. Thank you - we will send you all pictures as
soon as we all get together this summer. See, plans are already being
made! Our new families thank you and we do also.

Hello
my name is Tiffany Clouatre and I posted a message with your site searching
for a brother I had never met. The next day I received an email with
his mother's address and driving record. I wrote her a letter, and
Friday she called me. One hour later I was on the phone with my
brother, who until that day I did not know if he even knew about me. I
just want to share this story because I had come to believe that I would
never find him. I am so happy that i literally stumbled onto the site,
and now I have actually spoken to my brother. I can never thank you
enough.
God Bless,
Tiffany Clouatre
Christina Huerta has been
found!! I received an email with all her info from someone who read
my post in The Seeker and found her on a birth index. I have a phone
number and I have talked with her father. She is now living in Las
Vegas. He has my number to give to her if she wants to talk.
Thanks again for all the help!
Adidas24ss@aol.com
I would just like to let you know
that Simone was such a big help in
finding my lost relative. Almost as soon as my ad appeared in The
Seeker, she emailed me with suggestions and links to go to regarding
finding this family member. The second phone number I called was the
correct one.
So give Simone a big hug and a raise!!
Thanks,

I would like to comment on a Search
Angel you have
by the name of Simone. She helped me find
someone I have been looking for who was taking me 5 years to locate.
He was my first love and I couldn't sleep just thinking about him and I want
to say that you have a wonderful Search Angel and I thanked from the bottom
of my heart and now I would like to thank you for having her, she is a
blessing.
Lisa Kenney
Thank
you SO much for the information below. This is our long lost brother and we
were able to connect on the phone this past Monday.
An excellent site and service you provide. God speed, in all your efforts to
reunite families.
Most sincerely,

I was searching
for my nieces who were lost from us for 20 years. Due to a-lot of
determination and help of friends and my sister, this past weekend we
were
reunited with both girls. We had a lot of information but just didn't
know how to use it. A search with the social security numbers (from
Nancy) showed they were active in Iowa. With the help of a friend (Morski),
we got an old address and a last name; also ran with the social security
numbers. From that last name and address, Information was called and we
were given the names of the adoptive parents that matched the address
and a phone number. On Thursday we called and spoke to the adoptive
father and didn't really get anywhere because both girls had moved
out. He did say one was in TN. Later on Saturday another call was made
to the adoptive mother to see if perhaps she wanted to see pictures of
the girls as babies, this was the break we needed. She gave us an old
address for Patty that was 4 months old. Actually, 30 minutes after we got
the address we were in the car headed on a 2 hr drive. ( Thank you
again Tim & Ken) Patty was not at the address but, the young
man ( Matt) knew where to find her and took us to her. We actually
met her in the middle of the street and she looked so much like her
mother that it was almost like looking at a ghost. She knew where her
sister Melissa was located, in TN and we called and spoke to her
and, less than a week later, drove to TN. Thank you to Tim & JD
to see her as well. I think love & determination paid off and as
well as having good friends and family. For others that are looking
never give up, when you hit a road block, turn and run in another
direction. We were lucky that the girls were kept together. They knew
they were adopted, however they did not know that their mother had died.
Now Melissa & Patricia know they have family who love them and
will always be there for them and will never let them get lost again.
Thank you for your time in letting us share our story. God bless all.

Just wanted to say thank you for having this
site. I posted on two family members. I have now found one, Melvis Ray
Connor thanks to posting on this site. I received and email from someone who referred me to someone else that he thought could help
me. I
emailed him and later the same day he emailed me the address and it
was the the right one. It all began with a little posting on here. Thank
you so much. My mother is so happy. I still have one more I'm searching for
but this gives me hope not to give up. Bless you.
Shannon Wolverton
Bless you!!!! You found, in one day, my long-lost cousin!!! After my
searching for 10+ years ------ you found him!!!
Sorry -- -don't know the number. I was searching for Grayson S.
Davis. You found him in IN. I contacted him, asking for identifying
information, which he supplied. What a thrill! Our parents, long dead,
would be so happy about this reunion!!
Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart!!

Two days after posting the message looking for my son's dad, I received an e-mail listing an address which proved to be the correct
address. My son mailed his father a letter and a week later received a phone call from his father.
They are planning a Thanksgiving reunion. My son has not
touched ground since the phone call. Thank you all so much. janetharris810@yahoo.com
I would like to thank you for all your help, My friend Jimmy and I followed up on the address you supplied and we found Terri, She was so surprised to see her brother after all the years she spent apart from the family. She thought no one cared about her any more. she had no idea that anyone was even trying to find her. So once again
Thank you
Theresa DiGiorgi
I was very excited when I was contacted by Simone and she sent me
information that I needed to find my cousins. I started down the
list and the 2nd person I called was my cousin. My other cousin, his
brother, lives only one hour away. I also told him of another
cousin he has not seen in 45 years and lived only 30 miles away. Oh
my, what a wonderful time we all have had talking and we are getting
together soon. I would like to thank The Seeker and Simone from
the bottom of my heart!! It really works!!

A few months
ago, I found some friends through "The Seeker" and sent you a
thank you card and little package with an elephant in it. Once again I
have had success with an ad on your site. I place an ad for friend's of my
Mom's on Friday. This morning I received a response from someone with the
correct address and phone number. I called the number and lo and behold, it
was the right people. The lady who responded to my ad sent me their address
and phone number.
Please accept my
appreciation for having a site like this.
Thanks Linda for
all your hard work and please remove my ad # 103994
Lorrie Whatley Greenberg
Thank you so much for your immediate response and all the tips
and sites to help in our search. In fact, as it turned out, I didn't
need them - the first number you gave me for Brian was all I needed.
As it happened, the cousin who had found my message and gave me the starting
point, had contacted another cousin who, in turn contacted Brian himself, so
that when I rang the number you had found, he was expecting me - and yes,
was in touch with our sister, So, after 55 years, we have all spoken
together for the first time. Really unbelievable.

You can remove my listings with number 102235, in which I was
searching my friend. The story is very simple. Same time, while I
searched him, he also looked
at this web page, to find me. So he could read my message. 2
hours later I
got an e-mail with his message. Thank you for the help.

Seeker and Search Angel Beth. So much thanks to ya'll. They haven't met

MHowell1218@wmconnect.com
With
the help of The Seeker I found my brother and sister! I had never met them but
thanks to The Seeker I will be meeting my sister this weekend and I will be
meeting my brother soon. They are really close to where I live my sister is
about 45 miles away and my brother is about 4 hours away. This is a
blessing I'm 35 yrs old so this is wonderful after all these years it just
took a few hours to find my brother and a few days to find my sister.
THANKS AGAIN FOR YOU HELP

I found my bio son just 4 days after I was on your radio show on
April 19. We
talk all the time on yahoo and my daughters all do too. His a/mom is as

on of your sponsors, of National
Locator Service found for me. Thanks and you can remove my listing # 100448
Thanks again!

Your angels are truly miracle
workers! I have been trying on my own to locate my birth father for about
6-8 months. I placed my add on The Seeker on Sunday 3/2 at about 11:00 pm.
By Monday morning, I had three angels e-mail me with information about my
father and possible siblings. The last e-mail from Wayne had his phone
number and the news that he had spoken to him and he was willing to talk to
me! I haven't made contact yet, but am sure it will happen. It
took me 55 yrs. to get motivated enough to search for him and thanks to your
angels, Wayne, Bob and Ann, only hours to find him many states away!
Bless all of the caring people who take their time and resources to help
make dreams reality! You may remove my ad to make room for the next
needy person, and rest assured that I intend to "pay it forward".

Two years ago after I had practically given up
ever finding my birth parents I jumped onto your site and discovered
an ad from a woman looking for her daughter. The birth date
and city matched and through emails and contact with the Oklahoma Adoption
agency we were able to confirm the match. Since that time my birth
mother has also helped me find my birth father. We have all been
reunited, and they have accepted me into their lives. It has been a blessing
to find them all and have such a large family now. I have visited
Oklahoma twice now and have met them both, as well as, all my
brothers, sisters and other relatives. We email and talk on the
phone regularly as we are several states apart. It has been phenomenal
to see the bonds of love growing each week. I can't thank your
site enough for the service it provides. You have truly filled a
hole that had been in my heart for 41 years. For those of you still
looking for loved ones don't give up hope. Miracles do happen!

I was seeking a daughter. Within 24 hrs of posting my message, a kind soul
who read it, did a lot of research and came up with an old address and
partial phone number. With some other research online, I was able to
call my daughter the same day, and, to my complete surprise, I had a son I
did not know about! We have been in contact for 3 weeks, email and
phone, and I will be seeing both very soon. I abandoned them 30 years ago,
as a drunk, and the Lord has seen fit to give me the grace to find them.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I
found out that I had a brother and sister back in 1997. The idea
of searching for them was in the back of my mind for a few years.
One day as I was looking at sites I came across "The Seeker".
I posted a message and quite frankly I forgot about it. This was
January of 2002. Eleven months later an angel was looking for
someone to help and came across my posting. Gabby did a bit of
research and send me an email stating that she found some prime
candidates. I was drawn to one. I found and address and
phone # for three people with the same name. I called. Two
were wrong numbers and the third was disconnected. Something told
me that the first one was my brother. I sent a letter and waited.
Two weeks later the letter came back undeliverable. I was
disappointed. But something inside told me to look up the address
and found that it was an apartment building. I made a few phone
calls to tenants of the apartments and one lady told me that he used to
live there but moved away. She told me that she new the landlord
would probably know where they were being they went to the same church.
Two phone calls later I contacted Edith, his wife, and we compared
notes and I got this tingle up my spine. I found my brother.
Three conversations later, I was talking to my birth-mother and she told
me that she would tell my brother and sister that night that I existed
and was looking for them. The following Monday I spoke with
both my brother and my sister. Then on Saturday, I and my daughter
drove up to and met them. We have been in contact ever since.
I want to thank Gabrielle Smith for helping me find my brother and
sister. God Bless her and The Seeker.com

Dear Seeker Friends,
I happened upon your
web site on November 13 and posted a message (ad # 96180 ) looking for some
good friends in Philadelphia. In a few days, I received an email from a man
who saw my ad and he sent me the address of my friends. The same day, I sent
a card and letter to them. Three days later, I received a phone call from
them. I can't tell you how happy I am. We spoke for an hour and will
never lose touch again, it seems they have been looking for me as well.
Thank you so much for providing this wonderful service. Thanks again,
Lorrie

Peggy Sue Hoofard has been found!!
Thanks to Lynn Underwood,
my friend that I'd searched for for over
40 years has been found!! I just spoke to her on the telephone and
was able to tell her that we love her and had never stopped looking for her.
This Search Angel is truly an angel!
We had a tearful reunion on the phone and hopefully we will be able to get
together sometime. We hadn't seen each other since 1953, so we are
much older now and it won't be easy, but we sure hope to be able to
give each other a hug someday.
I am so thankful to Lynn, the Search Angel that has brought such
happiness to our hearts. Thank you ALL for all of your precious work!!

We
found my daughters birth father tonight and Amee is so excited. He doesn't
have any other children so she is his only child. I found him with all the
good clues that people gave me. I went on the county web site and
looked at all the official records there. I found where him and 3 of
his brothers had sold some property. So I looked up all the numbers and got
in touch with one of his brothers which gave me his sister's number and his
other brother's number. Terry only had a cell phone which was turned off.
His sister-in-law called the neighbor and her go over and have him turn it
on and told him his daughter wanted to talk to him. Amee called him
and they talked for an hour. The whole family wants us to come out for
Thanksgiving. So you can remove our name from the lost list. WE ARE
FOUND
Mpgriffith24@aol.com
We found my husband's mother we
are still looking for his father. But I'm sure we will be able to find him
now that we found his mother!
A guy read my message on
one of the message boards that I posted and had a program that he used to
locate her and he called her and told her that we were looking for her and
then emailed me the information. So I called him and he gave me her phone
number and then I called her and made sure that she knew that I was
telling the truth cause at first she thought that I was playing a joke on
her. Then I called my husband who was at work that night he couldn't
believe I had found her and then that night when he got off work he called
her and for the first time in 36 years him and his mother got to
talk. And I'm 2 for 2. I also found my birth parents back and 1998 and it
was great to be able to do it again. My husband and his mother if
everything works out will get to meet her for the first time on Thursday
Halloween 2002. And me and my kids are so happy that are little
family may be getting bigger. For my husband I hope that this works out
and him and his mother have a long time to get to know each other and her
2 new grand kids get the rest of there lives to know each other.
I thank this guy is a real
angle and he does this out of the kindness of his heart. And that is what
a true angle does it for. This man had never even knew us or anything
about us but has a heart of gold and is a real hero to my family and
to lots of other people. So if anyone gets a message from a guy named
Wayne answer that email he may just be your angle too.
All our Thanks to Wayne!

posted , don't know if it was here or one of the adoption sites I
visited, but , he too has been found. Thank you ever so much for
this site. It has been a real life saver for me. Thanks a million.

I can hardly believe
how quickly the search angels assisted me in finding my birth family.
I posted my info and less than a week later I had the information I needed
to find my family. I have located and spoke to my sister on the phone.
Unfortunately by birth mother has passed away but with the sister I believe
I can get the information I need. It is amazing that the ANGELS spend their
private time to assist complete strangers. I am so eternally in debt to all
that assisted me in my search. Thank you all so much. Jennifer

What an incredible Memorial
Day weekend my husband John had. After actively searching for the last 6-8
yrs, he found one older brother and sister and two younger sisters all
in one weekend. His mother was separated from his father at the time of
John's birth so she was talked into giving him up. Unfortunately she died
in 1958 and his dad died in 1989. The really amazing part is that after
his mom died, the family was broke apart. Older sister went to live with
grandmother, brother was in and out of foster care and occasionally lived
with dad, two younger sisters were adopted out separately. Brother managed
to keep in contact with all of them over the years. They found out about
John only 10 yrs ago and had no idea where to look for him. So when we
found the brother, he, in turn contacted his sisters. All are thrilled
with John finding them. They are spread all over the US so getting
together will be a challenge. But after 51 yrs apart, we know it WILL
happen. Even the siblings haven't all been together in one place for more
than 30 yrs.
We have a couple of
incredible search angels to thank for giving so much help. None of this
would have been possible without them. Linda and Simone have also been
wonderful. They were always there for support. Thank you all so very much.
Please remove our postings.

Thank you again for such a
wonderful and helpful site. Good to all still searching.
Reunited !!!!
I have been reunited with
my birth sister who was given life near 41 years ago.
I found out about this 5
years ago and with my Mom's blessing, I began my search online, at every
registry I came across I registered with all the information that I had. I
worked on this for at least eight hours a week. I was beginning to feel
that if she was looking to be found, I would have seen or heard something
from her.
My search ended on April
3rd.
It was our Easter vacation
and we were visiting my parents for a week and I had no access to a
computer. We were visiting at my husbands uncle`s, He had a computer so I
checked my E-mail, there it was "re birth sister 1961" I opened
it and it read: "omg, I know in my heart, I am your sister, my name
is Janice, please phone me._ _ _ _
So I did right then and
there, (after my nervous dance) We spoke for 20 min, I told her I had to
go tell Mom & Dad and our brothers and would call her back in a couple
of hours.
I ran into my moms house
with my husband and kids trying to catch up to me, I told Mom and then we
told Dad and the boys. Mom made the next call to Janice, then when they
had their time, I joined on another line, we laughed and cried for near 3
hours. Wow, pinch me!
That was on April 3rd,
then on April 4th She called, and it was decided that she and one of her
daughters would fly out to reunite with us. She lives in Snohomish Wash,
We live in Alberta Canada. My Mother and my Brothers were all there
waiting, and when she arrived through customs the luggage went flying and
she ran into Moms arms, and was teary and said " Thank you for giving
me Life" wow, the puzzle has been put together and we all fit so
comfortably. We had an awesome 4 days.
It turns out that Janice`s
adopted Mom was a nurse at the hospital she was born and sat with my Mom
in her time of loss, and brought the baby in for Mom to hold and wish her
a good life, I guess when you give a baby up this is a no, no, Janice`s
adopted Mom got to know all she could about her birth mom, so she could
share this information with Janice. Janice always knew about her adoption
and just how much her birth mom loved her!! As it has turned out, Janice's
adopted family is very happy for her, and looking forward to meeting us
all aswell. My sister has 5 children and 2 grandchildren, I can`t wait to
meet them all. We may have missed out on a childhood of memories, but we
plan to be a family, so we will have the rest of our life's to build
memories!!
Good Luck to all of you in
your search and reunions!!

Would like to thank whoever Debbie is.
She e-mailed me with information about my brother, Thomas Gillenwater and
my sister Geri Nay, married to Dennis Nay in Hollywood, Florida.
Thomas is no longer in Georgia, but Geri's
phone number was listed, and I have found everyone naturally, because she
has their locations.
Again, thank you, whoever Debbie is.
I can't believe the Seeker's Ad did the trick. Had been trying since
last year on other sites.

I'm happy to tell you that I have found my sister Harriet and my dad.
I placed two messages for them on your site. The message numbers are
84132 and 84133. You may now remove these messages!!!!! I did
have some help from someone who read my add on your site and emailed me with
an address for my sister. Although the address was not current, it was
a start!!!!!! They are both safe and sound and living in Long Beach,
CA. My wife and I plan on visiting them in a couple of months.
Many thanks,
M. Smith
My name is Kristy Wittman. I'm an adoptee, and I'm
listed on the site. Could you put by my listing that I've been
reunited? All my best wishes and prayers to everybody with The Seeker!
Thanks a Million!!!

My Great Uncle has been
found, although not through The Seeker. My mother began chatting with a
gentleman on ICQ who lives in Scotland. He was able to place an add on
the television over there with Ernie's information. Someone who knew
Ernie e-mailed his information to the gentleman mom chatted with, who in
turn gave mom the information. She called him, asked a few questions to
make sure it was really him and it was. She made Ernie's sister the
happiest woman on earth that day!
After 30 years I got to hold my birthdaughter
I have only had our computer for about six weeks. I searched for many years thru social services and got little to none help. I did find out her adopted
name tho and her adopted parent was a social worker. I only searched for two
days on the web and lo and behold their she was. I e-mailed her twice and she
called me the next day. She and her husband came down and she brought me 31
roses one for every year we missed. she also has some more grandbabies for
me, now I have 5. I am so happy!!! Just don't give up your search, God will hear
your prayers like he did mine. I am so very happy, we are having Easter together for the 1st
time, and I get to meet my other grandbabies. One bad thing, she drives a
Chevy, we will have to get her a good Ford. Praise the Lord for the web. Molly Post
Please remove Message 31411, 40303, 40304 and 40305. I
found all of my relatives on my father's side. I now have grandparents,
aunts, uncles, cousins, cousins, and cousins. More than I could ever
imagine. I grew up not having any relatives, now I have too many to keep
track of.
A cousin me contacted just days before Christmas. She
found my message on your site. I immediately started receiving many emails
from my newly found family members. That Christmas will surely be
remembered! Thank you for the best Christmas gift!

Remember the lady who called into your show from Texas searching for her son, and
I volunteered to help her.... it has been a few months ago.... I finally found
him! Today. This was the most elusive young man, he didn't have the name she gave me, he was using two
different names...but, he is found! Finally.
Chalk one more reunite up to your show... and to you,
she would never have found him with what she had for
him... wrong dob, wrong name... geezz.... this one tested my patience.

Please remove posting #84517. Because I used your website, I was able to find my half-sister, Donna. Someone
read my posting and helped me find her faster than I had ever imagined possible. We found her in just one
week!! It was truly amazing! If I had not used your site, I know it would have taken me much longer to find her.
Donna and I are both eternally grateful. We are going to surprise our mother with a phone call this weekend at
her 60th birthday party. It is so wonderful to have Donna in my life. I have always wanted to find her ever since
I knew of her. Now I have a sister!! Thank you The Seeker. I will recommend you to others seeking for lost
loved ones.

I am writing about the ad #12255, Bmom searching for birth daughter born July 26, 1967, 07/26/67, Melbourne,
Florida.
She found me! We have been reunited and I have two
grandchildren and she has a brother and sister.
She found me through the internet. I live in Canada and have for most of my adult life.
I posted everywhere I could find. It took me 5 years of postings, but finally she got a computer and started
looking for me. I am so thankful for the internet and the connections that it
can help you make. I have known several other Bmom's who have found their child in the same way.
It is very interesting, as she has lived her whole life near where she was born. When I went to see her, she was
living 5 minutes away from the motel I stayed in while we were waiting for her to be born. I couldn't believe it. Her
and husband bought a house right there and a year before, she found me!
Thank You for having the sites so people can find each other. That empty place in my heart has been filled!

Please remove Ad #18290. If you read it, you will see that it is a fascinating story.
I had been helping Craig search for about three years and since he was a foundling, it was next to impossible
because there was no paperwork, sealed or unsealed which could identify him.
About nine months ago, I saw a posting on another site from a sibling looking for her brother. It was the same city,
but the date of birth was off by a couple of years. I urged the two people to talk and see if they had anything that
might constitute a match and BINGO - finally a tidbit of knowledge that constituted a link between the two of them came up. Everything
started to fall into place and a month ago, DNA testing confirmed that they were a match. It is an incredible story and one that Craig ought to
write a book about!! Thanks for all you do to reunite people.

Editor's Note: This is an 'against all odds'
story! Here is the original post:
I am helping a friend search for his birth mother, birth
father and any siblings. Craig was born either April 29 or April 30, 1951 4-29-51 4/29/51 in Atlanta, Georgia.
He was found at 8:15 a.m. in the back seat of a car parked at Sims Service Station, Piedmont Avenue, Atlanta.
He was taken to Grady Hospital and named Thomas William Grady in honor of the two officers who found
him, I. W. Belcher and T.M. Stribling. He was actually found by a filling station attendant named Mark Willingham.
Pinned to a wrapper of a new bed jacket read the
following note: "My husband is dead. I cannot support my other child properly. We are good Christian people.
Please take care of my darling. May God Bless him in his new home. On his father's side he is a descendant
of Admiral George Dewey. A Broken Hearted Mother" Craig has had a wonderful life and merely wants to meet
the woman who gave him life. He also has some health questions. He has no anger or hatred, only love to share.
Someone knows this secret - also there is another sibling out there possibly born in 1947 or 1948. Please call or
write to: Sandy P. O. Box 8025, Athens, Ga 30603 or e-mail at baumwald@bellsouth.net or call (706) 549-7521
