A family lost and found means more than closure
Mother Joyce
The year is 1957. The place is Wichita, Kansas. To be a single mother in that time and place was to be outside the socially accepted norm.
My wife-to-be was put up for adoption, and from that moment, her birth family was lost. Fifty-one years later, our son pulled the proverbial rabbit out of the hat. He found my wife’s birth family, after we had tried for years to find them and had just about given up hope.
Where once we sought closure, now we have new relationships to explore.
