Do I want to start in on this search?  I know it varies from person to person 
and situation to situation.  I've asked my chilren if they want to do it and 
said I'd help them, but they weren't particularly interested--or that is what 
they said to me. We've had a wonderful life without knowing.  When my son was 
3 1/2 he asked me whose tummy his sister was in before she was born.  I told 
him that it was someone who couldn't take care of him and wanted to make sure 
he was loved and taken care of.  He asked me whose tummy he was in--I told 
him it was the same situation, but a different woman in an different place.  
His reply was, "Gee, maybe someday she'll have a baby she can keep!"  I was 
impressed and wished the birth mother knew that.  Just in case, he was born 
in St. Louis on June 23, 1957.  Contact me if you want to know anything about 
him.  He's a love--both of my children are--and all six grandkids.  I would 
like advice on if I should jump into this.  Thanks for opinions.
