This week I sent all the information I had about my adoption to a search agency to locate my birth family. Not gonna lie, it’s a little daunting. The agency said I’d findout everything (preceding word whould have the tone of “Squints” from “The Sandlot” in your head…e.g. “for-ev-er”) but did not specify what everything would encompass. They did way I’d learn about aunts, uncles, siblings, cousins, etc. but not what I’d learn abou them; that’s the daunting part. I mean, it’s been 44 years, there’s a lot to learn about people who have been around 44 years. Are their any millionaires in my birth family? Criminals? Moonshiners? (I was named Elvis at birth) Or just a bunch o’ regular folk?
I’m guessing regular folk. Regardless of what everything turns out to be, this will definitely be an interesting journey.
Good luck on your search!
