About Me

Location: Portland, Oregon, United States

I am the natural mother of two sons one, age 32 and the other age 18 and stepmother of two sons.I had to start this after my oldest son found me in July of this year after 32 years. It is one heck of a rollercoaster ride but we plan on meeting face to face in November.

In The Beginning

I guess the beginning is a good place to start. I was sixteen and it was 1973. I was living in a Catholic "home for dependant children" in Illinois. My best friend"Duck" was forced to go on birth control, even though she wasn't sexually active. I was and had been since I was fourteen but they refused to allow me to go on "The Pill". It was before Roe v Wade was passed, before abortion was legal.
