I tend to use “birth” or “bio” mostly. I go with the flow though if someone prefers a different term.

So you must've had some close-enough matches to find success?

As progressive as Calif is in so many other ways, it is sad that they cannot open their eyes to the adoptee cause issue(s). Glad you got your info regardless. How did you do that?

I have a brief note on stenographer's notepaper saying what I ate. I could have been in more than one foster home for all I know. I was born premature, spent time at the hospital before going to foster care.

1962...I grew up believing my records were closed forever. My A-parents also believed this. Apparently the records were only closed until I was an adult, so I got that info in 1987 and began my search.

I agree! I found it all the healing I needed. I will prob never know about the time I spent in foster care as a baby before adoption, but I have all my other info, so I am good. However, if I could find out anything about my 12 months in foster care, I would welcome that opportunity.
