Jackie's Story

Here is a picture of my son, John, that I gave up for adoption on May 2nd, 1965 (one of the saddest days of my life.). We have the best, all-time, feel-good story of an adopted child looking for his birth mother. I never thought this could happen. November 21, 2005, became one of the happiest days of my life when he came back to me and brought with him a beautiful wife and 2 terrific sons. They healed a very broken heart in one day and it is still a fairytale. I treasure every minute of it. This picture was taken 3 days later on Thanksgiving when John and his family came to Anacortes and met the entire family. A month later, on Christmas eve, we all went back to Anacortes, including his adoptive Dad and sister, also adopted. His sister's birth mother was also from Anacortes but is deceased. We are now one huge family.
