Finding Danny
I was taken away from my mother when I was 6 months old. I was adopted at the age of 14 months old. I found out I was adopted when I was about 10 years old. When I was 16 I started to ask questions about my birth parents. I was told all kinds of stories that my mother left us (5 children) with a sitter and never returned. I tried to get my mother to at least give me a last name, which she did and it was Farace.
Then she (adopted mother) gave me another last name of Link. Well I started to write letters to some families with that last name (I got them out of a phone book at my dad's in MD.) and I did get a few responses but no luck. I kept looking anyway, writing some talk shows, etc. NO LUCK!When I was 47 years old my son gave me a computer and I was searching on it and found a web site that a lady (great person) had and I emailed her and she had me send to her my story and she posted it. That was on August 14, 1999. I kept checking my email to see if there was anything there, no luck. Then on October 7, 1999 I got an email from Renee (the great Lady) and she said "are you sitting down?" and I said, "yes why?" and she said "I have an email for you". Lo and Behold it was from a man that said "I do know the whereabouts of Boyh Linda (my oldest sister) and her mother. I am Linda's half-brother as we share the same birth mother. Both are well". I was so excited I couldn't type. Then came more emails and to make a long story short We had our reunion on October 22, 1999 and I then met my birth mother and my brothers and sisters. I learned I have not 5 but 9 brothers and sisters. FEELS SO GREAT! We still don't know the whereabouts of a brother named Danny Wayne Farace (name given at birth, October. of 1948). He was adopted by a Coast Guard couple that were stationed at Curtis Bay, MD. My adoption took place in July of 1954 in St. Mary's Co., MD. I am still Looking for him and hope to find him soon. I also have a sister I haven't met yet except over the phone and thru email, her name is Susan Jane McRoberts and she lives in Whitter, Calif.
If anyone can help me find Danny, that would complete a void in my life. May God Bless.
