You have a beautiful family. I enjoyed meeting you on line.. It was strange to meet Michelle's brother.... and out of nowhere too! I have a sister that got her daughter taken away from her when she was 16. Do you think maybe you could help her find her da ghter? If you can it would be greatly appreciated. I enjoyed your homepage. God bless you and your family.

Enjoyed it very much, I alway's did like stories that had a happy ending. I know you thank God for your upbringing that mean's more than anything in life. I thank him everyday for being brought up in a christian home. My parent's were gospel music singers so i spent a lot of my life in church, and still love gospel music, and sing in church myself. I was brought up in the pentecostal faith and love to love God. I get the feeling you are of the same faith i don't know but just seem's that way, i am glad i g t to meet you if you ever come to Ark. to see Robert bring the family by to see us, well guess i will stop and go back and see your game page, looked at all of it but that. talk to you later, you have a nice looking family oh by the way my husband and i have been married 38 year's and have 2 children and 3 grandchildren.

Great story Merle. I'm glad it turned out so well for you, and I'd like to say the same for mine, but alas I'm currently unable. My Birthmom and I have not had contact since August of 1999. I have not mustered the courage to contact my Birthdad yet. Even hough I hold his residential info. I'm worried on intruding in his life, I have found the reason why he wouldn't stay with my Birthmom. She is a special person with special needs. Best wishes to you and your family, and God Bless!

My mom was still living with er fostermom at the age of 22 when she gave birth.As well as had a son 2-5 yrs old.My info says both my mom and the fostermom I placed with were BOTH from Denton,MD.

Andrew Seth Lawyer was Frank C. Sherrard,address at that time was 155 east Main St. Elkton Md. My adopted mms name: Mary Elizabeth Beale(maiden) and father Phillip Apsley Kelley. My adopted name then changed to Catherine Lynn Kelley.

I recognize some of the names in your guest book from WBS...the very best to you & ours..have forwarded your 'story' on...yours is another one that will encourage males to begin their searches....take care.....Ron/Sager111

How exciting to have found your birth mom. We have two adopted daughters, Gina, from El Salvador, and Julie from Guatemala. Gina was abandoned at the maternity hospital in San Salvador a few days after she was born. Julie's mother died during childbirth. e don't really think there is any possible way we can find Gina's mother. We have had some contact with Julie's family.
