so...have been thinking about doing this for quite some time but I wanted to make sure I was in the proper emotional and spiritual state to do so.
I was put up for adoption in 1969 and while being adopted was never a secret in our house, the information Mum and Dad showed both my sister(also adopted) and I was terribly limited in it`s scope. From what I understand, the amount of information an adopting parent now receives pales in comparison to way back then. I have never held any resentments, anger, sense of abandonment towards my biological parents. I have always believed that putting a child up for adoption is one of the most selfless things someone can do.
I have never tried to locate my biological parents or sibling that I know I have based on the records I was shown many years ago. Some strange occurrences over the past few weeks have inspired me to do so, not to "replace" my late parents in any way shape or form but simply to try and find out more about my medical history and "maybe" meet my BP`s if they are still alive. I work with a woman who in the last month located her birth mother via Ancestry and then a friend in Halifax told me the same, thought to myself there must be some kind of a message in all of this.
I contacted CAS (Children`s Aid Society) in Ottawa and filled out as much of paperwork I could and sent them all legal identification documents of mine to get the ball rolling.
The process they said was once my identification has been certified, they will send me copies of all the medical records then I would have to fill out and sign a waiver form putting my name and the same information I sent them into their database so if anyone is searching for me they have full permission to contact me if they so wish.
Fully understand that outside of my medical records, there is always a chance nobody contacts me and I am at a good place in my life emotionally that I could handle this.
I shall reveal more if anything comes of it
Good luck!
