Some success with birth family search!

What a wonderful man our searcher is! While he had almost nothing to go on, he was still able to get us a tad bit of information and perhaps some birthfamily contact can be found in the future. I was able to get pictures of the house the birthmother grew up in and some info from a close neighbor who it seems still has some contact with the birthmother. I don't know quite why I feel this way as I really never thought finding the birthfamily would be of any importance to me.....but it just feels good. Even if nothing further ever happens, I at least know someone who was close to the family has seen Anna's pictures and can see she is happy and healthy and perhaps pass this along to the birthmother/father someday. And even if this is all the info and pictures I ever get for Anna, she can get some sense of her history and know I tried the best I could. I was also able to get some answers that explained why it took soooooo very long for Anna to get released for international adoption. I guess I like knowing even just a few more pieces to her history and the path Anna had to take to find her way HOME to US!

Thank you searcher Illich. I feel he did a wonderful job and charged us an extremely fair price for all he did. I know its a very personal decision to each family to search out the birth family. I just wanted to share what a positive experience its been for us overall, even without the best ending.
