Couple Reunites And Finds The Daughter They Gave Up For Adoption After 50 Years

[@KathyBath]

I met my husband when I was 9 and he 11 in 1966. I was the cooks daughter and he was the boss's son. I even moved overseas with my mother for two years when I was 11 and we wrote to each other. Everyone thought it was innocent until we got to about 15 and 17 and they realised we were so attached to each other. All kinds of hurdles were thrown at us and requirements. We stuck with it and got married at 19 and 21 and have been together ever since and had 4 kids and now 6 grandchildren. We are about to celebrate our 46th wedding anniversary.

@@simpgodd4646 do you know the date of your adoption and the state where your adoption took place? If you have this information you can contact the Department of Children and Families in that state. That was where I started and since I was 17y/o I included a letter from my adoptive mother giving me permission to receive the information. The state will send you general ( not identifying) information but it could include some health information that could be helpful. If you are fortunate enough to know your birth parents names- can be found out from foster parents or sometimes adoption agency. It all depends on if your adoption was sealed. I hope this is helpful to give you a starting place. Also you could do a DNA test ( Ancestry or 23 and me, I would recommend Ancestry). Best of luck to you.

Playing devils advocate here. At the time they were separated maybe it was meant to be. At such a young age and to have a baby on top of that. They may not have been able to deal with the pressure. As we get older we are much more capable of dealing with life's adversities. I guess what I'm trying say is maybe this is the way life wanted for each if them.

We had one lady who sadly had Dementia (they all had something that required them to need care but they were all amazing people) she used to talk about her childhood, she would repeat the same story every time about a tree she had in her garden & she would ask you to guess what kind of tree it was. I loved talking to her about it & trying to guess the answer even though I knew what it was, I remember one night I said the correct tree & she was so surprised that I got it right she started giggling like a young girl when I said it was just a lucky guess. I miss working with the elderly but sadly I am now classed as disabled due to back problems & other issues, but I will always appreciate having the privilege to work with such lovely people 💛

When they made a plan to run away, Jenny waited at the spot where Will was to pick her up, but he never showed. What follows is the story of true love that spans three decades -- between man and woman, parent and child. Jenny is forced to give up her baby for adoption, and when that child, Claudia, becomes a parent herself, she begins a search for her biological parents at the risk of destroying the love of the adoptive parents who have raised her. Claudia finds more than she imagined, as she uncovers years of lies and betrayal, sacrifice and silence, and the extraordinary love of Will and Jenny, whose faith and passion survive it all." written by Elaine Kagan.

So true. I've been married almost 40 years and I don't see the balding head or gray beard (well I do really), but I still also see the young handsome man with a head full of hair, no beard and the love reflected back at me.

Jesus loves you so much and I need to tell you that He offers you His Righteousness as a gift He will wash you completely Clean from ALL your sins and wants you to Come to him it says, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Meaning the punishment for our sins is Hell Because we are not obedient to God. But Jesus was completely obedient to God He went to the cross to die for us and now we do not trust in our obedience but His it says, “Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body. As a result, he has brought you into his own presence, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault.” Gods wrath and Judgment went on Jesus Because He was carrying our sins so God treated Him like the worst sinner now God will Justly treat you like you have never sinned after you believe upon Him so when the blood of Jesus is over you God cannot treat you like a sinner! He never wants to but now He can Justly treat you like you never sinned Jesus was our sacrifice for our sins! Tell God you admit your a sinner and ask Him to wash you with His blood and receive His Gift of righteousness. Come out of darkness and into light! it’s your part to receive Jesus to believe upon Him. It says, “Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.” Don’t think it’s not wrong to sin -because He loves us.

My husband and I met in high school in 2005 when I was 15 and he 16. We had truly fell head over heels for one another, it wasn’t just high school love, it was something that let us both know that we had met our true person. It was as if we have known each for centuries, I know that may sound a little out there but that’s how it felt. but life sometimes throws us curve balls and after 3 yrs of being together we broke up...I had gotten pregnant And then later suffered a miscarriage. Losing a child for those who have been through that is one of the most devastating things any woman can go through. It was as if your own body betrayed you and you feel this horrible guilt. I felt like a part of my soul was lost and I changed, I became withdrawn and so did he. We were only 18 and 19 when it happened and we had a whole mix of feelings. On the one hand we were too young to be parents but we had accepted we were going to be and when that was no longer a option, we lost that spark that held us together, we then decided to go our separate ways, it was just something we had to do, we had to heal and we had to do that apart. I knew I loved Chris and that he would always be someone I cared for but at the time we knew it was the right choice. We were too young to go through those sort of life circumstances. 7 years went by and I began to get curious about where he had gone, I tried Facebook, Instagram, you name it and I couldn’t find him. For years after we broke up I kept feeling that something was missing in my life. Up to that point I had went to college graduated, i had great friends, a job that I loved and a great family but I knew that what I was missing was having or at least knowing whatever happened to Chris. So I grew some lady balls and wrote a letter and sent it to the house he lived in when we were in high school but... I never got a response back...I was sad but I just told myself he is probably happy in his life and doesn’t feel the need to look back or that his family wasn’t living there any longer. So I just went on with my life but then a whole year later out of nowhere, with no warning he shows up at my parents front door, he too had been looking for me but to no avail. He told me that His mother had received the letter but never gave it to him, it wasn’t after a year that she felt guilty and confessed to him that a letter had shown up addressed to him from me. He was pissed as you can imagine but he put all those feelings aside and He came looking for me the very next day after his mother confessed about the letter. When he got to me he admitted that after 7 yrs he too hadn’t fell out of love with me. We married 8mths later in August of 2016 and after two blissful years of marriage we are expecting our first son. These things do happen, and I’m a testament to that. So for those who had once loved and lost, I can tell you that if it’s real TRUE love then no amount of time or distance can pull you both apart.

On a second thought, if a man can’t love me like this, if I don’t sense this type of “I will search for you for five decades and love you all my life” love, then NAH, you cannot and I repeat, CANNOT hold my attention. Good bye👋🏿 Edit: For those commenting about how my expectations are “unrealistic” and I will be miserably single my whole life, the comment was purposely dramatic, it was not meant to be taken literal. Side note: Contrary to popular belief, not everyone finds being single to be a bad thing. You should always take time for yourself and be your main love. Thank you ❤️

I have another story like that. In the early 60's in our high school, a young classmate who was Jewish and a young man who was Catholic were forced to break up because of the religion factor. They went their seperate ways and at the 1984 class reunion which they both attended they found out they were both single. They married in 1984, She had a baby at age 47 and are still together after 34 years. Parents should have mind their own business. However, that is the way it was then. Kids are much bolder today.
