My Sister's Black Market Story
My name is Ruth. I was introduced to the computer and the Internet when I found out I had a sister who I never knew existed.
Adoption's happen in many ways. Some are legal and some are illegal. My sister's "adoption" was very much illegal. I only found out about her by accident, and I have searched for her ever since. The internet has been a very big help to me, as I have her information posted on a great number of sights.
Sometimes you get your hopes built up when someone
inquires thinking they might just be the one you're looking for, because they are looking also. But things don't always work out from the beginning. It takes work and a lot of looking and posting. Expect the worst, but hope for the best. That way you will not be let down as much.
I had absolutely nothing to go on to find my sister. She wasn't "adopted" legally. There was no paper trail what-so-ever, and everybody who knew anything about Mother having this child was dead or just about dead and not talking. The only thing I could get out of the state was that she was never born here. I knew better. I have her birth certificate. That was the only proof I had that she did exist. But that didn't do me any good. That meant nothing to the state. They did confirm that not only was she never born in this state, but that she wasn't adopted either. They were truthful. She wasn't ever adopted. She was sold. The hospital wouldn't tell me anything except that she
wasn't adopted, that they did have her records from where she was born, but they could only release them to her if she came up there with ID and requested them.
I've wasted a lot of money and time hiring Private Investigators who got bought off. After the third investigator, I took out on my own. Hiring someone like that is definitely not always the way to go. You can wind up losing a lot of money and then get
nothing out of it.
JANUARY, 2000
I have found my sister. I have not met nor talked with her. I have written to her several times, but I haven't received an answer yet. I'm trying not to harass her. That would be the wrong thing to do, I know. I'm hoping she will come around to me. She may or may not. At least she knows. I just hate that she can't accept the truth, because it's going to wind up
taking a lot of lives.
Mother passed away in September, 1999 from an illness that is hereditary in all the females of our family for generations. The kind of death this illness brings on is worse than cancer. It literally eats away your organs and your bones. It can be treated in the young , but not in those of us who are already
effected by it. I've explained all this to her about an hereditary illness, but still no answer. It has to be her decision to want to contact me. I just hope that when she does, I will still be here for her.
That is a major problem with adoptions. The hereditary
conditions that effect so many, and there is nothing they can
do about it, because nobody will tell them anything. Black Market adoptees are
people with no past, only lies. No history, nothing to go on. And in the
case like my sister, grown up and married with children of
their own before they even find out that the people who
raised them aren't really their biological parents.
Searching can be frustrating at times, but you should never
give up. If you give up and don't post your information you
will never be found if the person you are seeking is looking
for you. Post your information at every site available.
Hopefully your search will result in a happy reunion.
In my search I have met a lot of wonderful people who are
also looking for Sons, Daughters, Mothers, Fathers,
Siblings or relatives. Some of these people have major health problems,
some are dying and don't know why. There is no justification
in taking secrets like this to your grave. If I could have one wish before I die, that would be to see
that every adopted child, legal or illegal, have some way of
finding the knowledge of their past they so desperately need
to have before it is too late for them.
