I came to know in 2023 that it was kept by them, which explains why there was no birth certificate for me. In 1985 when learning of my last names ai had a name change and was forced by the law to put the names of my Grey Market Adopters.
Here is a poem I wrote shortly after finding my Natural Family.by knocking on the doors of people with her last known last name.

To Raise the American Flag
Have Freedom of Speech
And Never Meet
My Own Mother
Give Me Liberty
Not Apple Pie!

Former Coordinator for

It’s not over yet. Seldom does a first attempt win. Though several attempts have been made in the past it’s been a long time ago and nobody ever came back to finish the job. This time we can do it. Y’ll did a bang-up job, and the shame is on those pols.

We’ve been tossed and abandoned, but we are all kind of used to that and we’ve never let that stop us before! Onward…
