Why? we Search
Adoptees answer the big question...

The following comments were gathered when adoptees answered the question, Why do you search? (names are posted with permission) I hope that this will help those who don't walk in our shoe to see the adoptee's path.
"I'm sick and tired of being treated as if I was hatched."
It's the itch I can't scratch.
I search because secrets beg to see light and cause much ill until they do. -asw (to quote Dickens)

I watched "ROOTS" and just had to know! Todd Lamkin
a more serious note from Todd also; I went into the hospital with a virus that could have killed me, the doctors wanted to know my medical history. Couldnt tell them.
I want to find out who I was before I became who I am. & Pray for the best, be prepared for the worst, and be happy with whatever you find out. Joann Marie King (BN) Oliver (AN) VanHorn (MN)
Because we simply can't NOT search. Duh.
I search for me, the me no one knows.
My main reason I suppose.. is that I HATE being lied to... and most of us have been lied to all our lives that we don't know and sometimes can't handle the truth.. that's a travesty of supposedly self governing ppl. Missled/Donna IRC #adoption EFnet

I guess the reason I help adoptees and birth parents searching, and work so hard for open records is because, I have had to fight with government buracracies my entire life trying to find out about the genetic half of myself that was predominant in my genes. I have been denied information that any human being should have access to, I have discovered the horrors of corruption along the way, and I fully understand what it is like to go through life wondering about a parent and never having met that parent. Being , deceived, and lied to, or outrightly ignored by family members who have secrets to hide, by government workers who could care less, or who have their own personal agendas, and by local, state and federal governments who continue to suck up my tax dollars while denying me my civil rights. That pretty much sums it up!

The Search
By Beth Reed
Through all the doubts
With all the fear
Still there's a hunger
A voice you hear
Like a primal need
That tugs at your soul
Longing for the answers
That'll make you feel whole
It's always there
Just out of reach
Unable to mend
The bond that was breached
There's a need to search
And to find your mother
The woman that bore you
Then gave you to another
