Finding in Florida Success Stories I just wanted to thank you personally regarding your registry. From you registry I found my son. He emailed me on March 5 and when I came back up on March 8, I emailed him back. We talked for about one week and then got the paper work going to confirm. Yes, I said confirm that we were a match on March 16. We met face to face for the VERY First time on March 18 and 19. God bless you, and thank you again from the bottom of my heart. Gwendolyn 3/24/2000 Thank you for the WONDERFUL NEWS!!! For thirty-four years and six months I have wanted this to happen. I don't know how it will turn out but I am hopeful that some kind of a relationship can grow from the contact. I became a grandfather on March 8th, and now there is this news. I thank you for doing what you do, and I hope you continue to help those of us that need all the help we can get. God Bless You. Sincerely, John 4/14/2000 Thank you so much for all of your help.

I will write again as soon as I catch by breath! THANK YOU PATTY!!!!!!! Joyce 11/27/2000 Thank You Patty! On Thanksgiving weekend I somehow came across yourwebsite and found a potential match regarding birthmother-birth daughter. By Monday afternoon my mother and I were reunited after 34 years. I want to thank you Patty; in all honesty, I now feel as though my life is complete! This is simply the best thing that has ever happened to me! Thank You. Joyce and Susan 12/19/2000 Thank you so much! It is a match, I've talked to her both on the phone and online, and I'm positive she is my mother. Thank you so much! She is coming to see me for New Years! Sarah 12/30/2000 Thank you, thank you, thank you for help in successfully finding my birth mother. She lives 5 minutes away from us now, and I once lived one street away within walking distance.. To think of all the times when we drove right by, never knowing she had always been right there. Anyway, thank you very, very much. You are an angel. Tony 3/3/2001 I want to thank you for giving my email address so my daughter could contact me. It's been an answered prayer for me to find her. If it were not for your website I may never have found her. I am going to meet her March 9, 2000. It's been almost 30 years. I can't believe we found each other. Thank you so much for the service you provide! Jenny 3/5/2001 We met with my daughter's birth mom right after we last corresponded with you. Our "match" is perfect. We had a great time together and I know we'll meet again soon. I'm so glad we've found Sheree and I am looking forward to a great relationship. Thank you for your help and for all your efforts keeping up with your website. I do hope that there are lots of matches and happy endings for all those on your lists. Thanks again. Frances 3/29/2001 Thanks for everything. Andy 6/1/2001 My name is Angela. My birthday is June 3, 1979 and the woman looking for her adopted daughter on that date turned out to be a match. We have exchanged pictures and e-mails, and there is no doubt that I am her child. Thank you very much - this is the only place I looked and it only took a month to find her. Angela 6/16/2001 Thank you for your web site. Because of you my birthdaughter found me. It was the happest day of my life. Thank you again. Donna 7/01/2001 I could not believe my eyes when I went to this site and put my sons birthday in. The very first thing I saw was he is looking for birth mother Vicki. My heart almost stopped beating. In less then five days I had a new family. I want to thank you very much. Next week I'm going to see him. Vicky 7/12/2001 Well a lot has happened. Rosemary has contacted my daughter. Everyone is pleased with the outcome. I am amazed at some of the mannerisms that Rosemary and my daughter share. I think this was a good thing for all of us. Thank you for your help. Bob 7/13/2001 Hello Patty. I think by now Vicky has spoken to you. My husband has spoken to his mother. She sent pictures, and even if we slightly suspected there is no way he could suspect after he received the picture of his family. He is a duplicate of one of his uncles. Thank you very much for this website It has helped him find an identity that he has been searching for his whole life. Kristin 7/13/2001 The lady born on 06/17/47 did turn out to be my elder sister. I knew about her, three other sisters, and a brother. It was the other six "children" I knew nothing about. We have one adopted sister born in 1961 still missing. Everyone else is found. And they are all in Florida, as I am. Amazing that we have not run into one another. See what you started! Catherine 7/30/2001 I just wanted to thank you again for taking the time and having the heart to put together a website like you have. Thanks to you, I now know that my daughter is healthy, happy and well-adjusted and we are becoming best friends. Thanks PattyAnn. If I could give you the moon and the stars for being the person who got my daughter and me together, I would. You deserve it. I just love going back to your database after all of this time and seeing the red "reunited" below both of our posts. I am now helping a lady I met here in Gainesville look for her daughter and your website was the first that I gave her. God Bless You Patty. Linda 8/4/2001 Thank You, we've got a match. Dorothy 8/13/2001 Birthmother and female adoptee born 1/22/83 in Clearwater have been reunited. Thanks for all your help!!!. Rose 8/21/2001 I just received an e-mail from Melissa and this is the person we have been searching for. I want to thank you so much for being able to assist us. This meant a lot to her biological family and I appreciate it.. Again Thank You!!!! Christina 9/27/2001 I made a cold call, it was his afather's house but he was there visiting with his wife and we talked. He said he would call me back tomorrow night. THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND GOD BLESS. Sethie 6/1/2002 HI! Andy here!!!!! I found my birthmom!!!! I registered my potential match on the registry and guess what! IT"S HER! My listing and hers is 04/03/1967! Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!! I now have another sister and brother too! Thank you again!! Andy 7/7/2002 Add another reunited success story to your records!!! Your 12/3/62 listings are birth brother and sister... we talked for over three hours yesterday and everything she knew about my birth were the same things I have found. My birth sister said that both of our parents are deceased, but I did find out that I was the youngest of seven children and the only one to be adopted out. She ended up calling the rest of the brothers and sisters last night in hopes that we can plan to meet sometime or at least for now start sending pictures etc. I feel so blessed! And all of my thanks go to you and your website...it was one of the first sites that I searched through and one of the most organized and easiest sites to follow! I appreciate you more than you'll ever know! Robert 9/16/2002 You can call this REUNITED. They came down to meet me for dinner. AMAZING. I never knew who I looked like, until yesterday. I never knew alot of things about where I came from. My birth parents, after giving me up, later were married and had another son. I have a full-blooded brother!! I was floored. I also have a half-brother and half-sister. Thanks so much for providing this resource that allowed me to find my past, as well as processing my info as fast as you did. It has been one of the greatest days of my life, one that I will NEVER forget. All my thanks, Howard 9/16/2002. This is Kathy in search of adoptee 5-21-1973 in St. Petersburg, Florida. We are a match, it was finalized Sat. Nov. 2. She wants to take time to think things out. Thank you for having a place where people can be united. I'll just have to wait now to see what she wants to do. I hope that will include meeting me. Thanks again. Kathy 11/4/2002 I wanted to let you know that we have been reunited. The posting for "9/24/70 Birthmother ISO female adoptee born in Ft. Lauderdale at Broward General Hospital, adopted through Children's Home Society. BM born in 1954, brown hair and eyes. BF born in 1953." is my birthmother. Thank you so much for your help. Brenda 12/20/2002 Brenda and I are a match and reunited on 1/18. Thank you so much. Teri 2/9/2003 Dear Patty Ann, You have once again been a blessing, we are a match! Gina searched for 20 minutes before she found me. Most people search for 20 years! Thanks for being there for us... our very own Cyber Search Angel! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Dee 2/27/03 The person you have connected me with is indeed my birthmother. We have been in close correspondence. Thank you for your assistance. Kim 3/21/03 I just wanted to let you know that thanks to you my mother and I have reunited after 27 years. You can't believe how the void has been filled. We both want a relationship and I am truly blessed because the whole family wants a relationship and they all welcome me with open arms. You have done my mother and I a great service and we are eternally grateful. God bless you. Kristal 5/4/2003 Hello Patty Ann, I have found my son . Thank you for your help and for caring. My son and I will meet this saturday. His two brothers , his sister and his two nephews and niece will be with me when we meet for the first time Ever. I was not allowed to see him at birth. We have been in contact by phone and e-mail since the day after Mothers Day. We have been sending pics back and forth and e-mail each other almost every day. The resemblance is amazing between all 4 of my children, they even like the same types of music,all the boys HATE tomatoes, the boys weight and height are very close , . I would just like to tell you Thank you . Elaine 5/28/03 Would like to let you know that Sue Ellen and I are a match. She is my birthmother. Thank you very much for having this site. If it was not for you it would not have been so easy. Thank you again!!!!! Sara 8/5/2003 Today was "THE" day!! Terri and I hooked up! I mailed her a note to the address she had listed with you even though when I called information she was not listed as the homeowner and they told me no one was even at that address. But, when the phoning failed I put a letter in the mail anyway. She got it today, emailed me, and we've been in touch via email throughout the evening. If you think that "Terri", the name, is a coincidence there are a ton more. I'm so totally amazed by all this. I just wanted you to know that finally we've met, mom to mom, with I'm sure more to come!! I'll keep you posted! THANKS SO MUCH AGAIN FOR EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To think how fast this took place. Four mouse clicks, an email attempt, a few phone calls, a letter, and BINGO! I feel like I hit the jackpot! Thanks again. Terri 8/15/2003 I found him and we are a MATCH! I am flying down to Tampa this Saturday and he is going to meet my husband and I at the airport. I am so grateful that he did not change his mind over the years. Many thanks to you as it would have not been possible without your site!!!!! My son told me he listed on 4 sites but yours was the only one I found with his registration information. Blessings, blessings, blessings to you and all your helpers!!! Diane 9/13/2003 Thank you very much. Luck was on our side. It was a match! We've spoken on the phone for hours and will meet in a few weeks. Thanks again.

Elaine 9/21/2003 I can't express how thankful I am for the help that you provided me in my search. Lori is my birthmother and we have connected. She called me earlier today and she is coming to meet me tonight. I am so excited and again I am eternally grateful for the your help in this. I pray that God's blessing will pour down on you and again thank you! Jonathan 12/13/2003 I recently used your website to try to find my birthmother. There was a potential match on your site. You then gave me her e-mail address and we talked on line as well as on the phone for about 3 weeks, comparing stories, pictures of each other and other things we knew. We then decided to send all of our information to the Florida Departmenrt of Health Office of Vital Statistics. They did their research and sent me an original birth certificate. It was a MATCH! I just wanted to let you know and take this time to thank you from the bottom of my heart. What you do to help others is definitely worthy of more than thanks. I met her last weekend and we just hit it off. We talk everyday and I'm going to meet my sisters in January. Thank you again, this really makes me feel complete. Angela 12/13/2003 The address you gave me proved to be my mother. Thanks so much! She is very interested in being reunited. Thanks again. Lloyd 1/10/2004 Guess what.?. The first name on the list is my father. I just spoke with him for a long long time. Thank you so much for your website. Nathan 1/21/2004 THANK YOU, THANK YOU.....i talked to my daughter this morning......thanks for all your help as we would never have gotten her name....the angel is looking over you all that are helping us find out children. Judi 4/24/2004 Unbelievable! We spoke for over 2 hours last night!! She sent me a recent photo and I sent her some of me and her BirthMom. Amy called me this morning to comment on the pictures. Patty, we completely connected and I couldn't be happier. Thank you so much and God Bless you - you've made an immeasurable difference in our lives. Thank you so much! Jeff 5/16/2004 Awesome!! We stumbled across your site and BANG!..there it was. It was scary, exciting and unbelievable. We were all together the Saturday before Mother's Day and we had a great time. We are just taking it one step at a time and at Rob's pace. Thanks for all your help. God Bless. Chris 5/18/2004 As soon as Michael started talking he put me at ease. We talked off and on all day until 11pm last nite, then we went to the computer and talked and exchanged pictures until 1am. He sounds like a wonderful young man and looks very much like my other children. We haven't decided to meet yet, we both think we should take it slow and let things happen as they will. No rushing things. He called my oldest daughter in OKC and they talked several times yesterday. I am still just so amazed by it all. I want to thank you again, God Bless you for the work that you do and all the support and help you give so unselfishly. I will keep in touch and let you know how things progress.Once again, Thank You. Dyann 7/7/2004 Everything is going great with my new-found family! After meeting my Birthmom and Birthdad in Tampa, I went up to Buffalo New York to meet my Birthmom's side of the family. It was amazing to meet my two half sisters and to hang out with all my relatives! They threw me a 25th birthday party to make up for all the ones they've missed. My birth grandparents have each grandkid make a stepping stone that they line their backyard with, and they had left a space for me all these years, so mine is now sitting next to the rest of the grandkids' stones! I talk with my Birthmom and Birthdad all the time and continue to be so thankful to you and Finding in Florida for bringing us together. It is truly a miracle that I now have two families! Amy 8/26/2004 Thanks so much for having your wonderful website. If not for you, I wouldn't have my beautiful Betsy and her family in my life. Betsy and I get along wonderfully. She is just like me. Has my mannerisms, my love for animals and elderly people and my compassion for all living things. Betsy's family and mine will be taking our first vacation together this summer. We are going to my Uncle's lake cabin in Alabama for a week so that she can meet the part of my family that she hasn't met. Linda 4/14/2005 Hello, Patty. How are you? I am writing to let you know that my son and I have been reunited. I am so happy!! I'm on cloud 9!! He called me and we talked for hours on the 19th, then he came over on the 20th to meet us for the first time. This past weekend we had a big party for him on the 23rd and he stayed all day, and went out with my older children bowling. We love him sooooo much. I am finally complete. I want to thank you so much for doing this for us. I know you have a reservation in heaven with your name on it. Peggy 4/25/05 This is a big thank you from all of us. We where able to get a hold of Rita's son in Joplin today and they finally got to talk to each other. Now you have one more reunited on your web site. Once again, a million thanks for all your help. We will keep you updated on the latest. Thank you so much. Nettie 5/20/05 After I received my non-identifying information, I read it and just from what Carol and I spoke about, I knew without a doubt that she was my mother. None the less I wrote down questions that I would ask Carol and one of her sisters. to see if the answers matched up to my questions. Every single question I asked was matched with the correct answer, so I have no doubt and Carol also has no doubts as to how I am related. Carol is my mother and I am her daughter. Thank you for all your help. Kerri 8/30/05 Patty, Looks like we have a match. The picture is of Nelson and I. Thanks for your help. Sally 1/26/06 Hi Patty, Thank you!

Thank you again Patty, I will never forget you! Jacinta 3/13/06 Hi Patty, I spoke with my mother for the first time yesterday. We spent a good 3-4 hours learning about each other and what we had in common. I really, really appreciate all of your help.

I actually just got off the phone with Gail and her husband after speaking with them for over 2 hours! Sam left a voice mail for me this afternoon. I had to take my son to a birthday party BUT I kept checking my voice mail and email from my cell phone. I ran home from the party as soon as I got Sam's message and called her back. We spoke for about an hour or so. She is so full of life and warm! She is very open minded and so much like me..it is amazing! Her mom and dad are wonderful people too. I could not have asked for a better phone call. We already exchanged pictures too. Sam looks an awful lot like me!!!!! I am absolutely wiped out BUT at the same time wanting to shout out to the world how happy I am. Thank you so much again for everything. Big hugs, Liz 5/21/06 Hi, Patty I just checked the website for our entries and noticed the red blinking FOUNDs next to Becky's and my registrations. That looks so good, and it is good. We exchanged emails last night and I am happy to know how good a life she is leading. She says she has a blessed life -- those words are music to my ears. This is just a short note to let you know the results of your and your team's hard work. Send thanks to all of them for me!! Lucille 6/28/06 Thank you, thank you, thank you again and again!
