The check is in the mail...

Don't laugh! It really is!

The real question is what is the check for, and where is it going... Seriously, it's already in the mail!

Ok, it's not a bill, it's not what I really SHOULD be sending Melissa for the cutest blankets EVER (which you will hear more about later), and it's not for some fun to save starving children. I have three of those at home, I'll not be getting anymore anytime soon.

The check is in the mail to Buckner's Adoption Agency. Why? Oh, I just felt like donating....NOT!

Here's the deal. I'm adopted, and although I have been SO blessed with who my parents are and my family and my whole situation - there are a few things missing. Like family history, illnesses, etc. - not to mention an additional set of relatives that it might be fun to know! I am tired of questionnaires at the Dr.'s office that ask about medical history - I just put "adopted". It covers all the questions, but it's still very incomplete. I've been kicking around the idea of looking for my birth parents for years, but my adorable husband has decided that my foot may be sore from all the kicking and he printed off all the info I needed. I only had to sign and make a copy of my drivers license. Easy!

I don't know if the search will be successful, or if it is successful if my birth family will want to have anything to do with me. Both of these have been taken into consideration - I promise! However it works out, it will work out. Of course I have my preference, don't I always? However, I'm content to wait and just let it work itself out - I've waited 36 years as it is...what's a little more?
