Thank you for your co-operation and I hope this site will be helpful to you.
With a heavy heart I want to let all of you who have supported me with prayers of healing for my son.
Friday December 7th 2007, he lost his battle with brain cancer that he had been fighting since 2003. He was 55 years old. I found him when he was 26 and had the priviledge of knowing him for 29 years. That is a blessing since many separated by adoption never get to find or know their lost loved ones.
I was not able to be with him when he passed. I arrived at the Hospice Center only to find out he died early in the morning.
His wife has inforned me that there will be a memorial service for him some time in January after the holidays at his Church.
I am grateful for the time we did have together and will continue to think of him and love him as I did from the day of his conception.
His children could use prayers to help them through this loss as they are young teen agers and it is difficult at any age to lose a loving parent.
It is because of him that this website exists to help others. He always supported me in what he felt I needed to do even if he didn't agree with all of my views. The greatest gift he ever gave me was to never send me away.
He will be missed by many. He will now have peace.
I hope the new cover and new title will be pleasing to those who would like a copy of the book.
Finding the book seemed difficult for some people as it can only be ordered through the author.
There were some who found the original title an embarrassment if
someone would see them reading such a revealing title.
If the book was ordered from out of the U.S. it was a long wait to receive it and an expensive postal fee. So hopefully we have solved the problems.

We have been given permission by Dr. Maurice Greenberg BSc MPhil MRCP, FRCPsych Consultant Psychiatrist and Honorary Senior Lecturer Camden & Islington and Head of Student Counselling Service UCL in the U.K., to print his paper on ”Post Adoption Reunion- Are We Entering Uncharted Territory?”
This was a lecture presented to the British Association of Adoption and Fostering on 5th October, 1993.
I am very grateful to Dr. Greenberg for his interest in Genetic Sexual Attraction and the case study that he did on this subject.
I hope you will find his work and his article helpful in your education of GSA.
Just to let everyone know that there was a new article published in the Guardian magazine about siblings marrying in Germany and jail time for what is considered a crime there.
