  • You could always hear my mother explain without explaining that I was

  • adopted so for example

  • we go to the doctor and ten years old

  • when others there to see the doctor not me and with her

  • and he says to me how come you don't look like your mother

  • and i look at my mother

  • and look back at the doctor

  • and my mother says

  • all that's our little secret

  • and i'd like to turn it back

  • you know being adopted was a secret

  • and

  • so from that moment on

  • there was that cloud of

  • we don't talk about this secret

  • so the class shin so there's

  • there were some ways that she would

  • always remind me that i was adopted and treatment wise

  • at one time felt so disengage very emotionally as a mother that was a young

  • child

  • not knowing i called her roots later first name

  • etc everybody else did auntie ruth and uh...

  • season in the journey is look like hand area

  • so there's always that

  • touchy subject of this is an adoption situation we don't talk about it

  • i grew up in southern california

  • they grew up in mentor

  • pericles the coast

  • you can see the ocean everyday windows

  • one other

  • is very talented woman

  • she was concentrating thinks

  • paintings

  • pottery ceramics shift starting at

  • uh... wedding

  • catering business and ventura

  • my father

  • has been electrician's

  • for southern california edison

  • man he

  • started that job on their first married and he retired from that job in nineteen

  • eighty-three

  • so they treated me

  • the only way they knew how to parent

  • good things about things i think that the curiosity

  • that you mentioned

  • really kicked in at age eleven i remember my mother sitting on her bed

  • and i guess hearn that had a fighter something and uh...

  • she just are crying

  • and i'd felt that i have i head deep compassion for her so i'd loved her

  • and that little voice in my head you know my soul to said she's using you

  • know

  • she's using your minute down

  • through that

  • that spiritual that little voice

  • you need to leave

  • it's not the healthiest place for him

  • sun nineteen seventy-six i'd go back to california for a visit

  • was living in utah at the time

  • and my mother went

  • and got out of the closet

  • her special paperwork that she kept on ice

  • which was the petition of adoption in a medical document should my mother's

  • signature my biological mother signature on it

  • and so they write very good for maintaining would still be a morass

  • sold then i had a name so from that

  • for the next

  • umpteen years next twenty years

  • i was always searching in the same

  • loneliness it just would never leave

  • for a functional family or a mother for mafia not a mother but my mother

  • when i got married

  • answered searching more silence search intermittently

  • searches with resurface at certain intervals loneliness was the biggest one

  • uh... might get lonely

  • the state

  • he's emptiness that they could satisfy even i had

  • has been uh... me monthly installments

  • at three wonderful children

  • so it just would evan flow

  • all tied into loneliness continously could never feel that

  • so it's a point when i found

  • i was twenty years old

  • for whatever reason that they i sat down

  • and i read the newspaper and by that everyone in the newspaper not just

  • picture two picture two headlines that headline and subtitles

  • i literally went through and i read every word that newspapers has saved it

  • but it didn't

  • somewhere back in the community section

  • i found this little itty-bitty wine and cheese when interests at stake

  • and it said the search triad

  • and it was just if you know if you look if you're separated by eod bam divorce

  • saurabh foster care

  • or adoption contact in his number

  • that one in chat

  • is what got me started

  • there which is what they did is they try to find another first

  • and because that was produced nothing then they go after the mail main if

  • there's one and i had my brother's name on his mind identifying information

  • confirmed there i called him

  • talk to his fiance

  • slim mitigating phone number of of an uncle

  • and he talked to maintain keep falling on my mother was misusing mental

  • institution california

  • and that the never faced

  • so that's how i met my mother

  • it was very surreal

  • it was not likely you'd expect comforting
