      I am a cancer survivor so far. I like to bead, crochet, and spend most of my time searching for my children. I am both a birth mom and adoptee, I only wish that some of the info I had been given had been given earlier to me I throughout the years have given lectures and classes on adoption to both birth parents and adoptive parents. I have counsuled many adoptive parents who werelied to about the child they were adoption and helped them to find the birth family to get accurated information. I have also helped many adoptees to locate birth parents and birth moms to find their children.
