Dear Kinsolving,
There we are, mother and daughter at last. I can't begin to thank you for the countless hours of "phone counseling" you've given me. More meaningful than you'll ever know. Thank God there are people out there like you!
Fondly,
K.

Dear KI,
How do I say "Thank You" for giving me life again?! As you know, I divorced my husband twenty years ago, because he wouldn't let me take my Grandson. He was adopted and never again was my heart completed until you found him for me. Of course, I gave his mom first chance to call him; she was too afraid of his reaction -- so was I (as you know).
When I did reach him, his reaction was wonderful and he had just begun to look for us. Cathy flew up from Key West the next day to meet him and it was HEAVEN!
His father's family have all welcomed him with open arms. He is a copy of his dad, who was killed two years ago in an accident. He has found three other siblings. All of us love him and he has made out lives worthwhile.
All my love,
J., North Carolina |
Dear Kinsolving,
Shortly after I started dating Randy he told me that he was adopted and would like to find his "birthfamily." I thought this was a really strange request, since I, as a non-adoptee could not understand why this was so important to him. After a few months I finally understood his need. He needed to look into the face of someone who resembled him, so he could know where he came from.
I decided that I was going to help Randy find his birthparents. It was up to me to do all the work because Randy couldn't face rejection in his life anymore. I started at the end of September in 1994, spending endless days and nights on the telephone, in a library or anywhere that I thought would help. I was almost ready to give up when I called Kinsolving Investigations. I asked KI to take the search because I couldn't deal with it anymore.
In May of 1996 I received a call from Kinsolving with all of the information.
Today Randy is reunited with the family that he never knew. He has 2 half brothers, 6 half sisters and next to mine, the most wonderful mom in the world. The reunion between them was a very emotional one. I could tell that they belonged together. I felt sad for them for the 30 years they had lost. Now they are living and loving day to day. They can't even sleep at night unless they talk to each other.
I am very thankful to you for all your hard work! Most of all, I am thankful for your words of encouragement at times when I was ready to throw in the towel. I will always be grateful and will be singing your praises to other adoptees who I find. We love you and God bless you. Keep up the great work!!
K & R and family. |
