Golden, please don't be afraid to express your opinion. You have a right to yours no matter what it is or who you disagree with. In this subject I found that depending if one is affect in some way then there are many different opinions and that is only natural. I only speak for the adopted child who longs to know their family history. I am working to have the records opened here in NYS. There is no way all involved can be protected when it affects so many others. No one on this side wants to hurt anyone but everyone should be able to have the same rights and I speak of birth rights. As I stated before, the more it is talked about the more our legislators will have to listen. Right now they are ignoring what other States are doing and finding a way to give all their legal rights. Please don't hesitate to give your opinion on this subject or any other. Your opinion will be noted, respected and listened to.

Thanks to the people on this site, the grace of God (and actually in my case the State of N.Y.) I found my people. And if that was not enough, I located my biological Dad who lives in Florida. I sent a certified letter with my contact info and he e-mail me this past week. Then we talked on the phone-he called me. He told me he never knew for sure if I had ever been born. I'm sure most on this forum had tears in our eyes when we read your post tonight, and were touched by your spirit. We are so very happy for you. I personally had that very feeling, that Daniel wasn't aware of your existence. I know his brother to be a strong family man and I expected your father would be also. (nut and tree thing) We were all silently hoping and praying that you would go through, and decide to try and contact him, in spite of any fears you might have, of not being a welcome addition. I couldn't imagine how, or if, you would contact him, but felt that it was supposed to happen. I am not a scriptorian by any means, but I truly believe this one, it's in reference to the second coming, so had to go and look it up: MALACHI CHAPTER 4 - 6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

Golden, while your opinion would be respected and might bring balance to the issue being discussed, I understand the need to keep it to yourself, and respect that right to do so.
As you said, some things are better dealt with on a one to one basis, and in a private manner, if at all. I respect ALL your posts and opinions, and respect your privacy and your view that some things should be left alone. That IS your opinion, and that is good enough for me. God bless ya golden, and may he bring you peace of mind, if this issue troubles your heart.

As per my PM to you earlier Jon. It truly is a momentous and emotional event for all of us here at the corner. I never thought that a bunch of musicians, posting all their memories, would serve up such a miraculous and life changing bit of assistance. God truly works in mysterious ways. God bless you guys for ALL of the joy and enjoyment that you bring to the forum through the bebop thread.
