Dr. Doogie, I PM'd you. Contact me at your convenience.Dr. Doogie said:Thanks, everybody, for your kind words. It is difficult to not feel down after a promising lead turns out to be a dud, but setbacks are not defeat.
When I spoke to the adoptee, I promised her that as I uncovered any information that may be of benefit to her in her search for her birth-parents, I would pass them on. In that vain, if anyone out there could volunteer any knowledge about the adoption process, please PM me so we can discuss a couple of issues off-forum. Thanks!
