One more reply to your heartfelt message.  One concern is that I probably 
shouldn't be the one to be looking--as the adoptive parent.  Do you think 
that if the birth mothers wanted to be found they would search?  Other thing, 
should it be my children who should be looking?  I haven't started the search 
other than what you've seen here.  I have known of two, only, personally who 
searched--one the adoptive mother and the other the child who found the 
mother who is a teacher here.  It really did a LOT of harm in both cases.  
Their lives will never, of course, be what it was.  I do feel that my kids 
are considerably more secure than both young girls involved.  I think, at 
this point I'd just like to send a message that the kids are fine and have a 
respect for what was done on the part of the birth mother and that they've 
had a good life and are an asset to everyone.  Thanks again for replying.
