I am 1 of 8 children separated by adoption 45 years ago.
So far I have found all but 2 sisters and 1 brother. I have registered on any adoption sites and registries that I can find, belong to adoption registry groups, but I just can't find the last 2 sisters.
I would like to apply to Kinsolving, but it's $3,500 for each search, and I need 2. I can't afford to pay that much, and they have a payment plan, but I can't do that either as I quit my job to stay home with my 2 grandchildren so their mother's could go to work.
I would love to bring our family back together again after all these years, it has been my dream for over 25 yrs. I have been searching for over 25 years now, I don't know where else to turn. This means everything to me.
Thank you all in advance, please please vote for me. I am getting desperate now, I really want to find them as soon as possible as two of my children are getting married this year, and it would be such a wonderful thing to have everyone at their weddings.
I was searching for my birth mother, but I was too late to reunite with her, she is deceased. I don't want to be too late in finding my sisters too.
P.S. the picture I used is of me and one of my brothers that I found in October last year.
I have a blog that I made in hopes I could be more "findable" if my sisters happen to be looking for me, you are welcome to check it out, the address is:

I know $7,000 is a lot to ask for, but I think my family deserves to be together, we've been robbed of 45 yrs already. If I can get the $500 only, that will help too, I will use it to further my search by being able to get onto some of the sites that I have to pay for. I will also use it to donate to a few of the registries I am on, they found 1 brother and 1 sister for me so far. They run on donations, so they can definately use the money.
Thanks again and sorry this is so long.
Good luck to everyone else with your wishes, may all your hopes and dreams come true.

Well I'm back home now. OMG what a fantastic weekend meeting my sister! Words can't even describe how I feel right now!
We had a great time, which of course went way too fast. Thank you everyone for your warm wishes and comments, and of course your votes, while I was away.
I will get to everyone tomorrow as I'm really tired tonight, we didn't get too much sleep this weekend LOL
This is such a feat Joanne. I wish all the luck in the world !!!
Hope you find them.best of luck to you.
great wish good luck
I really hope you get to meet your sisters. Family is so important.
Maybe try writing to some of the talk show hosts? I know they do reunion shows all the time!! Good Luck!!
Thanks for the idea though, I guess I have to find the rest the hard way.
I am wishing you more luck than you can know. I have at least 2 older brothers that I have never met and some younger siblings as well - I really don't know how many. Long story short - I wish I had your courage!!

I just wanted everyone to know I will be away from the computer for the next 2 days, I'm not ignoring everyone. I am going to meet my sister for the first time in 45 yrs, I just found her in October last year. I am so excited, I can barely sit still, and forget about sleep, I've barely gotten any all week. She has no idea I'm even coming to see her. And it's her birthday on monday so this is very exciting!! I'm bringing my younger brother with me, and my sister lives with my oldest brother who I just found last september, so this is the first time we've all 4 been together in 45 yrs.
I sure wish I had the opportunity to have this same reunion with my other 2 sisters, but I guess everything happens when and if it's supposed to. I'm trying everything I know how to find them both.
Have a great weekend everyone, and best of luck to everyone on your wishes. I will catch up on everything here when I get back sunday night or monday morning.
Thank you in advance to everyone visiting my wish and voting for me.
Joanne
wow, that is an inspired search. Good luck
Thank you Ronnie. I am getting to know the ones I have found, but I really would love the chance to know the ones still missing.
Good Luck! I cannot imagine not knowing my siblings.
Thank you Kiwilass, Tyrallia, and J.R. for your warm wishes, your vote and for visiting my wish. Best of luck to you in your wishes too.
Joanne
Good luck!
I wish you all the luck in the world. I pray that these last 2 siblings fall into your lap and in the end you have no need for the money. Bless you and your family.
Thank you for your comment and your vote.

Thank you for your comment and vote Jacinda. Yes the hole in my heart is huge, and very painful. I can't even explain it.
It not only affects me, but also my whole family, my children, my grandchildren, and my friends, they see the pain in my eyes often, and the tears.
It is also very hard not having medical information to give my kids and grandchildren too. So far in finding 2 sisters and 1 brother I have found out lots of medical information they need to know (diabeties?, extremely high blood pressure, ulcers, pancreatitis, arthritis, kidney disease)
I"m wondering what else I do not know??
But most of all I want to know my siblings, I'm not getting any younger, I'm almost 50 now and I'm the second youngest of 8 of us.
I can't even imagine the hole in your heart - looking for your siblings. I hope you can reunite!
Thank you Ieshia, 45 yrs is a very long time.
Wow! 45 years that a very long to to be without a love one... I wish you the best!
Thank you so much DarkDivah and ISO!!
Good Luck!!!!!
I hope you find your sisters and that you all have a wonderful reunion.
