I was born in Ocala Fla to a lady I hardly know she lost me to the system when i was eighteen months old she was seventeen when she gave birth to me i floated though out the system foster home to foster home until i graduated from high school and no i don't want a pity party. as i grew older i begin to search for whoever i thought maybe related to her. i hired a bounty hunter i gave him all the information i had and what i thought could be correct about my mother he located my uncle, i called my uncle after recieving info from the hunter my uncle and i chated and he begin to tell me information about my family I have 2 sisters and one brother i had the chance to meet them all but i found out my mother had pass away but the hurtful feeling was she never mention me to her family or in her obituary for most of my life i felt like a dark shade was always pulled down in front of me when i lift the shade people would look at me as they knew something i did'nt know i grow up under a assume last name not my goverment name i mailed the courts they responded by saying my case is a seal case and could'nt be open. but i was never adopted or legal coustody. my sisters and i keep in touch but they don't understand me because i don't want to hear about what mom did with them c/o baking cookies ect and the way she raised them. and how she raised her neices and nephew what a slap in the face. as life went on i begin to have kids and within my mind i said i will never allow my kids to go into the system it was rough but i thanks god i made it they all are grown with their own kids, part two my dad i never knew either i know from what people told me that knew him he loved motorcycles he was much older then my mother he got killed fairly young. but as i know i'm his only child................................ sandra w
