My Mom's crying.....

Postby stevenson » July 29th, 2008, 4:31 pm

......tears of joy! My Grandmother was a little Jewish woman that had 3 kids to raise during World War II. My Grandfather was in the 1st Cav. fighting the war. Grandma couldn't keep house and feed the 3 babies. So she ended up giving them all up for adoption. A year later Grandpa came home but they couldn't get the kids back. They were all gone. Grandpa & Grandma had 2 more kids, my Mom was one of those two. Well as the years went by my Mom found two of her sisters but never the third.

Tonight she got a call from Troy, Texas. It was her long lost sister that she has spent 50 years looking for. She's so happy, I don't think she'll sleep tonight!

That's great! My wife's Grandparents had to do the same thing. They had 14 children and gave up 9 of them(couldn't afford them)...all but a couple of them found each other and had yearly reunions.

They were in Texas also...times were really tough in those days.

So happy for your mom and the rest of the family! Is a meeting in the process of being set up? Sounds like a great news story.

My mom's crying

I teared up with her. What a fantastic story! I rejoice in God's goodness.

I hope they have some time together to get to know each other. Your mom will be a wealth of information for her sister about their mom and dad.....

God bless this reunion.

My sister was adopted. Several years ago, it was my joy to help her find her sister. Though it had been 27 years and they were separated while toddlers, my sister found out her little niece had her first and second name. Her sister had named her daughter after her.

My sister has two families. Well more if you count all the people she has informally adopted over the years. she got a big heart.
