Life has never been fair. I lost custody of her and he promptly moved her out of my reach and didn't tell me where he was going. I am fortunate. Things have gone better this year.

My daughter is blonde, blue eyes and at least half mine.

My friend Katherine told me to post myself on the net just in case she was looking for me. I would highly recommend it to every one who is looking for someone. Posting yourself on the "people finders" is free and it works. Even if you don't have a telephone or a computer at home. Do it.

I had a wonderful reunion with Emilie and several of her cousins. We took lots of pictures, Emilie now lives geographically closer to me. It's wonderful. My daughter got married in 1999. Her husband is Geoffery Christy. He was not able to come to the reunion. If my husband had been working he would have had to take vacation time. He is new at this job so probably hasn't got vacation time yet. I hope to meet him soon.

22 September 2002, Emilie and Geoffery had a baby boy in August, his name is Graham.
