This entry marks an important change in the Looking for Lynette blog. Until now, I've given you backstory that explains my desire to search and the steps I took to find my birth mother. From here on out, you'll see the fruits of that search. I begin with the first blood relative I ever conversed with: My plucky half-sister sets me straight on my biological father’s identity and tells me of the brother neither of us will ever meet. #adopteesspeak #adopteestories #adoptionreunion jeffkiddadoptee.wixsite.com/adoptee/post/f…

I sat in my car on the shoulder of I-95, staring at the flashing hazard lights made blurry by my welling eyes. How odd it was to have tangled thoughts that Mom could not unwind for me, pain she was no longer there to soothe. But even amid the wrenching loss, I discovered reasons for gratitude. Little did I know that sense of gratitude would push me to find my birth mother. #adopteestories #adoptionjourney #adopteesspeak #alzheimersawareness jeffkiddadoptee.wixsite.com/adoptee/post/t…

Those who know me personally have an idea how my search turned out and how happy it has made me. I can't wait to tell you about it. I think you're going to be truly inspired. But the pursuit of anything worthwhile inevitably entails moments of doubt, moments when the thing you grab for turns out to be much sharper than anticipated. I'm trying not to gloss over those parts. #adopteevoices #adoptionreunion #adoptionstories jeffkiddadoptee.wixsite.com/adoptee/post/b…

For 53 years, I knew virtually nothing about my biological family. But in the span of just a few hours in February 2022, I not only learned my birth mother's name; I pieced together several branches of her family tree. I also learned of the unspeakable grief to which they were subjected. It wasn't all sad news, though — I learned I probably had a half-brother! #adopteestories #adopteevoices #Genealogy jeffkiddadoptee.wixsite.com/adoptee/post/m…
