"Where is my mother or who is my father?"
This is a question that has been on my mind since I was a child. I never knew my parents and was raised in foster care. I always wondered who they were and where they were. I never had any pictures of them or any clues as to who they might be.
As I grew older, I started to do some research on my own. I looked up public records and tried to find anything that might give me a clue as to who my parents were. I never had any luck. I always wondered if they were looking for me, too.
Then, one day, I got a call from a woman who said she was my biological mother. She told me that she had been searching for me for years and had finally found me. I was shocked. I never thought I would find her.
We talked on the phone for a while and she told me about my father. She said that he was a good man and that she had loved him very much. She told me that he had died a few years ago.
She also told me that she had another child, my half-sister. I was thrilled to finally have a family.
I have since met my mother and sister and we have become very close. I am so grateful to have finally found them. They have brought so much joy into my life.
