The Adoption Story Board is New ~ Under Construction!
Stolen from my bed at age four years (1974)
Adopted from Holy Angels Convent
Trivandrum, Kerala, India
April, 1978 ~ Arrived in Canada
It is our hope that many wonderful reunions will result from the Adoption Story Board. Stories are accepted from any member of the adoption triad, adoptees, birth parents, siblings, and adoptive parents. We encourage those who have been reunited to share their stories too. However, if you just want to share information and for some reason a reunion seems out of the question, you can still add your story to this website. Your name and email address will remain confidential if you wish.
Peace to you and those you love,
Aunt Patty, Founder/Coordinator
