Who Am I Really?

Although Haley loved her adoptive parents as much as any child ever loved his or her natural parents, she still had an empty place inside which would only be filled when she knew who had been responsible for bringing her into the world. Haley had spent much of her adult life trying to trace her birth parents, but aided only by the names of her biological mother and the city in which she was born, she had very little hope of success.

Ashley was unable to get any further information from the adoption agency which had placed her with her adoptive parents. She spent countless hours doing Internet searches on her mother's name, and kept running into dead ends. She was beginning to think she'd never track down her biological parents, who were the only people who could answer all her questions.

Ashley wondered which of her birth parents she most closely resembled. She wondered why they had found it necessary to surrender her for adoption. But most of all, she wanted to let them know that she was well, happy, and had very grateful for the chance to have a wonderful life with her adoptive mom and dad.

She just couldn't get over the need to talk to them, to see them, to at least know that they were alive and where they were. Haley gave up for a while because she was out of resources and out of leads. However, upon another trip to the adoption agency, she found that there was a new girl working.

She wondered if this woman would give her the information she needed. As she asked, the woman began to shake her head before Haley even finished her question. Apologetically, the woman told Haley that she couldn't give out any information.

Then, to Haley's surprise, the woman leaned closer to Haley and said, "I was adopted too. I can't give you any information about your birth parents, but I can give you the URL to a website that helped me out a lot." Then, the woman wrote a website down on a sheet of paper and handed it to Haley.

Back at home, Haley went to a reverse records website and saw that there was a space for a name. She thought for a moment about the woman at the adoption agency and she typed in her biological mother's name.

Within seconds, the website provided her with a new address and phone number. Haley absolutely could not believe it. All these years she had searched and within seconds, she had found out where her real mother was. After coming to terms with the situation, Haley finally dialed the number that had popped up on the website.

Haley waited several seconds for the woman to respond, and then heard her sobbing softly. Haley realized that she had finally found her biological mom, and from that moment the two of them have been catching up on all the time they lost. Haley has also been able to welcome her half-brother and tow half-sisters into her life!

Although Ashley has still not been able to meet her biological father, they speak on the phone from time to time. And Ashley will never forget the adoption agency employee who gave her the URL of that website.
