My return from Georgia and my subsequent trepidation…

February 27, 2008

I have just returned from a two week trip to Georgia to visit family and procure new business and personal goods. I had a nice time and was able to spend several days in Savannah and Tybee. I had a nice visit with my parents and grandmother…

I was able to do quite a bit on my trip and had a really good visit with everyone. As usual, I was able to go shopping and get all the things that are impossible to find here. After a long 10 hour flight to Honolulu from Atlanta I was able to get home to Hilo in just under an hour and finally arrived here ready to fall asleep.

I will probably write more about this later when I am not so restless and agitated…

I also received an email today from the company that is searching for my birth parents. It would seem that I was not born in Florida but rather that I was born in Colorado. My parents knew nothing about this - they were shocked when I told them. This is just totally out of left field - we had no idea. I even have a Florida birth certificate (not original, of course).

I am dumbfounded. This whole situation has me wondering what other information surrounding my birth is untrue. I don’t even know what to say about this. Everyone around me keeps telling me it is not important but no one understands - they aren’t adopted , they know without a doubt where they were born, no one keeps their birth certificate locked up in a courthouse that would require them to go to court for months just to open the record, no one told them that they were born in one state when they were actually born in another, and they don’t have to wonder if everything they knew about how, where, when, and why they were born is entirely untrue. I’m irritated, frustrated, and angry. But what can I do?

Work & the Stock Market & Religion & Adoption

March 21, 2007

Work is going really well today - my new business cards are ordered, my new logo is ready to go, my new accounting system is online and I’ve figured out a Linux workaround for it, my help wanted ad is in the paper and on Craigslist and it is not even noon yet! I need a laptop asap…

The stock market and our stocks in paticular seem to be heading up! Yay!

While I was on the phone some Jehovah’s Witnesses came to the door AGAIN (I just told these people recently not to come back) and gave me some flyer for a “very important” meeting at the Kingdom Hall in our village.

I have decided to find my birthfamily so I can secure some health related information.Â I have enlisted the help of a private investigation company that searches for birthparents in Florida.Â This should be interesting…

I’ve started a search for my birth family so that I can get medical information, actually I started this search some time ago but just haven’t taken the time to finish it. It seems to be a dead end anyway. My birthmother and birthfather are divorced now so it makes it more complicated. I’m not sure how to tactfully phrase everything I need to say. I don’t want to be rude because I greatly appreciate what she did, giving me up to my parents was the best thing possible. I’ve never really thought about my birthfather oddly enough, frankly I don’t care about him and I’m not curious at all about him. I guess I will have to send him a letter as well asking for medical information. I don’t want to ruin these people’s lives but I need medical information.
