    1. Re: [TNSMITH] I have EXCITING news!!!!
    2. Peggy, thank you so much for that...Being the Genealogist that I am...I often find little sayings that I plug in at places to ponder... On the front of my Birth Family album, I have this written by Alex Haley: "In all of us there is a hunger, marrow-deep, to know our heritage - to know who we are and where we have come from. Without this enriching knowledge, there is a hollow yearning. No matter what our attainments in life, there is still a vacuum; an emptiness, and the most disquieting loneliness". I've found as Genealogists, we ALL seek to find information about our heritage, but when you are adopted and know NOTHING, there is NOTHING to seek. Just finding OUT who my birth family was back in October of 2002, freed me beyond words...now, this is the Ice Cream with the Cake....Such a JOY!!! God gives us the emotion of Joy...and he has blessed mine to the FULLEST. Again, thank ALL of you for your sweet emails and words...some online and some privately. They have meant more to me than you will ever realize. Being adopted, I grew up in a wonderful family, but not without issues that sometimes come. I have now been so very blessed with MANY families...you are all part of one of them.
