Will someone tell me where I can see the pics of the Anna lookalike?? Why can't I find her on the threads here? I must be having "a moment".
Robin, excuse me if I am wrong but C. does still live in the same area where she grew up correct? If I am correct on that, does she have any childhood friends that she has kept in contact with or knows how to reach? Perhaps there are others who might have pictures that she might be in. I am thinking like birthday parties that she might have attended as a child. I know I have pictures from all of my daughters B-Day parties and there are pictures of all of the kids who attended in them.RobinH said:
She has not had a happy childhood, and has moved from one location to another all her life. No one that she knows of has any pictures. Her family had a fire at one time which might explain the lack of pictures that her family has. I just got back from my second school, and again.......waiting for another call.Shadow205 said:
She has had several addresses as an adult, but they have all been in the same general region within a single state.RobinH said:
I agree, except I was told last week that she has also spent some time in a home of some sort without her siblings and she doesn't understand why. I am actually looking for a photo of her earliest school age to get a better match, and I do not believe that with all she has been through that we will find she remembers any friends from that part of her life. I have however found out that her earliest school has closed and have called the archives of that school. I am hoping to hear from them soon. I also know that her best friend has been and still is her sister. I am pretty sure that I will be able to get a high school picture if that is what we want here. Even though it appears she was in the same area, you might want to know that her youngest school memory is here, while her high school years are several miles away.Dr. Doogie said:
No, she only talks to one sister, and they are close in age, possibly even not blood sisters because of the adoption, and that sister is very curious too. I have received a call back from her youngest school, and they are not required to keep files on elementary children, so have no picture. However, when they send the child's records to a new school, there are photos attached. So now I am waiting for the next phone call.Dr. Doogie said:
When she told me about this, she explained that for some unknown reason, she remembers being taken away from her mom and placed in some type of facility for awhile and then she was returned to her mother. She also remembers later that she had to go live with her grandmother for a period before being sent to an uncle's house, and then going home again. During the time that she was with her grandma and her uncle, she knows that their house burned down. It has nothing to do with her mother taking in foster children. She did not have a happy childhood, and is left with many questions.Annasmom said:
As far as foster parenting in Michigan, I was a foster parent for 15 years in the 1970's and 80's. It required 3 visits from caseworkers to become licensed. It was not an easy task back then, and once becoming a foster parent, visits from caseworkers were very frequent.Annasmom said:
Yes Annasmom, I would be happy to. First I met someone on MySpace who was profiling Anna. We had a conversation about an adoptee in my state. At that time I saw a picture of Anna (age progressed) and immediately recognized my friend that I had just recently met at a restaurant that I frequent. She is a waitress. I was surprised at the resemblences, but asked 2 other friends their opinion on the similarities. All agreed, the match was good. I then went to visit my friend and show her the pics of Anna as well as share Anna's story with her. She became a little concerned when I at first showed her the pics, asking how did I get pictures of her when she was youger. Then she told me that she had been adopted, but she has always been told that she was her mother's daughter biologically, but not her adopted dad's. She has since shared many events of her life with me, and let me take a picture of her to share with all of you. She does not believe that she is Anna, however she feels that her life, the pictures, etc. warrent a closer look. I will be happy to answer any questions that anyone has, and if I don't have the answer, I will ask her........Hope this helps.Annasbro said:
