I am a birthmother searching for my daughter born in Omaha, NE, on 1/5/72 at about 8:40 pm at the Booth Salvation Army home. She weighed 6lbs 2 1/2oz. She had blue eyes and light hair. I was 20 years old at the time I surrendered her for adoption through Catholic Social Services in Lincoln, NE. I am of German ancestry, her father was of Swedish heritage. I was told her mother was a teacher and her father worked for the government. The agency has recently told me that you just graduated from grad school!!! I am so proud of you!! I am listed on MULTIPLE registries on the net. I was the oldest of 7 children (2 were mentally retarded-twins) and I had to leave nursing school when I became pregnant. I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED YOU! PLEASE FIND ME!!! How it changed my life:Surrendering my firstborn for adoption was the most painful thing I could ever do. I became a nurse-midwife years later, and found that I felt the need to 'protect' all the mothers and especially the babies (I ran a clinic for pregnant teens). I hope that it was the best for her, but I'm not so sure it was the best for me. I have thought of her daily for 26 years. I need to know that she is OK and that she does not blame me. I need her to know that I loved her, and still do. I know that I am not her mother, that I can never be. I want to try to be her friend.
