Its intended to make you look foolish for looking for someone who does not want you. What a cruel thing to Say anonymous. Of course he belongs to his own family and they do want him. I believe there are parents out there that don't want any contact, but my experience is that over 200 families nobodt has Marilynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13960705594201164599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203799819583211238.post-31182454332764332512011-05-29T22:25:54.940-04:002011-05-29T22:25:54.940-04:00Hello I help people find and contact their family ...Hello I help people find and contact their family members for free. You and I have mutual friends that I am also very excited for. I help families separated for all kinds of reasons, but people who are anonymously conceived don't really need help so much as its nice to have company during the search and I give away my passwords to all the detective and family tree websites for free for everMarilynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13960705594201164599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203799819583211238.post-50913499882103484512011-05-27T14:46:28.473-04:002011-05-27T14:46:28.473-04:00Thanks!!

I will look into blogging on the idea of negative tests are still results, as well as the not trying side.<br /><br />And yeah, I agree 100% about rejection being a cold comfort...I really like that term "cold comfort".
