I don't know whether they it does.Jane Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09715622112694146946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-574300303008890516.post-30205889364166451162018-04-22T08:53:29.648-04:002018-04-22T08:53:29.648-04:00My son and I found each other via FB.

I adoptees should be told automatically about such Registers, along with getting their original birth certificates.Cherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876862640326469175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-574300303008890516.post-29297073295051751682018-04-17T20:13:44.143-04:002018-04-17T20:13:44.143-04:00 Facebook adoption community got super nova state ...

It doesn’t get rid of all the data snatchers, but it helps. My children and other family and friends, especially my natural mom, like you, Lorraine, and adopted friends, are far away. This is our meeting place. So I take the con with the pros. It’s part of life as we know it in this strange, new world.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14031827627878829227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-574300303008890516.post-6261444929696516342018-04-15T15:41:10.309-04:002018-04-15T15:41:10.309-04:00I agree that FB has allowed me to keep friendships...I agree that FB has allowed me to keep friendships going with people who no longer live near me, to make new friends with common interests, to be a member of support groups, to help others search, or give them some insight as to what life was like in the particular unwed mothers' home I lived in, even reconnect with some of the birthmothers I met there. I worked in a regional theatre for 11 years, and can keep in touch with friends I made there while they're out on the road. My family is spread around the country and the world, and I can keep in touch with them, watch their kids grow up, get to know each other. Some FB friends I have met in person, some not, but I treasure them all!! Is FB perfect? No. But with some care and caution, I'll stick with it.
