2009-11-23	Ron	Access to original birth	10	10	10	No	Rev Allen, Your timely note is much appreciated. I'll keep plugging away at this. I know that his father even saw me when I was a baby--but my father apparently did not know it at the time. My father was 20 when, in joining the Navy, the government informed him that his father (his adoptive father who probably had not adopted him yet) was not his biological father. It was a bit of a shock to him. I'm pretty sure of the identity of his father--just not absolutely sure. I have identified the parents of his father--and one of the grandparents. And I'm a genealogist, so I'll have little difficulty pursuing the research in Sicilian records. Just wish I knew for sure! Many thanks again, Ron Krupovich

Expertise

Adoption Reunion and Reconciliation - "Do I matter to you?" - To adopted persons and their families, it is an especially important question. I offer search and support guidance, information about typical/atypical consequences of reunion, and counseling to all involved parties. Please 'View Profile' for more detail.

Experience

I am an Universalist minister and counselor specializing in search, reunion, and reconciliation issues. I am founder of GrannysCupboard, an ULC ministry.
