If you reread my original post, I never said that I don't want to be found. I 
wouldn't resist my birth parents looking for me but I do not NEED to look for 
them. All I said was (and you statement above agrees with it) is that I have 
the right not to be found if I choose and have the right to take such legal 
steps as to make that a reality.
RD> wife's real mother wanted to be found and we never knew it till a couple 
of

to

it 
I'm glad for them that this is the case.
RD> all up. Her ex-husband told social services that his wife had left town

This is obviously a bitter man but it is nothing to do with what I said.
RD> She tried to get her back but was told the child was already adopted. 
That

Again, I didn't say that.
RD> right but you should not make it impossible for those who want to be 
found 
RD> or those who do want to search and it really makes me wonder what the 
heck 
... and I didn't say that.
RD> you are even on here for!! I think it would be great for you to start 
your 
RD> own echo for those that don't want to be found so that Duane and the 
others

... and again, even though it isn't what I want, surely they have that right.
Please read things more carefully in future and don't flame me for something 
I didn't say.
I wish you luck in all your endeavours.
Regards, Peter
