Somewhere, there are records and I want them. They’re mine.

“Here we go again.





Those four words pop into my mind every November, like an annual calendar reminder set to go off with a cartoon “boing.”





November is National Adoption Month, and as an adopted person you
might think we’re all a bundle of anticipatory excitement, planning the
kegger and booking the cover band.”

For example, I’ve been on a 30-year mission to obtain every page of my medical, adoption, foster care and genealogical records.




I’ve had some success at this mostly because I haven’t stopped asking after being told no.
