its a new day, find your siblings!

hi blog family!

have you been keeping in touch with your siblings? Even if you were seperated, it may be time to look them up!
It has to cross your mind what are they doing?
I know I had to find my brother and sister, still searching for my brother who was adopted to a family around 3 yrs old in Elmsford, NY..His name is Mark he was born in Oct around 1971..

You can never give up looking for a sibling because they may be right in the next few towns...
Your sibliling are a part of you and there is nothing wrong with trying to find them!
 Now that my other baby brother has died, i am really on a mission to find Mark!
I promised Rob before he died (in fact we were going to do a documentry to find him a few weeks before Rob died)..that i would find Mark and my father...who lives in Long Island...

we must keep track of our family that is searchable, even if we don't want to see them again, atleast find them, have closure...and if you cannot find them....that's ok too!! atleast try...start with your mom's birth certificate/name...go to vital records in your area...if you have names of grandparents, you can go to archives in some places... I hope to one day go to New Orleans and get my family records, I was lucky my birth grandma told me what she knew before she passed when I was 19...i got to see her again, even though my mom gave up her rights, when I was 17 ONLY because my mother was in a coma and they requested to see us 4 ( only 3 showed, Mark was adopted):(
I have enough info to do a family tree, as far back as Paris, England and Africa Cote De Voir.....I wonder if this was why I fell in love with Paris the first time I modeled and lived there in the 80's...you should wonder, its nice to know, even if you dont get the answers, try...and then move on...
have a blessed day and your ancestors came across many waters...(some where here, Sioux, Cherekee, etc..Moors)..we should be thankful to them for risking and changing their lives to save ours, we should be only looking for a bettter future than our parents may have gave us!! Keep siblings togeather, facebook, skyp, you tube, really there is no excuse NOt to see a sibling today.....xo Tanya

looking for a sibiling?

hi blog family!

As you all know I have been searching for my baby brother Mark for years.
He was adotpted to a family of doctors in Elmsford, NY when he was around 3 years old.

 I know he had a sister and his new parents were african american and they were doctors..atleast one parent was...
I share this with you because if you are seperated from your siblings you should never give up trying to find them.
 1. they could live local (my brother was less than 15 miles away
2. you may end up marrying your sibling if you don't know them!!
3. they could save your life one day if you need blood or bone marrow...i'm just saying...

I can never date a guy named mark that is light skinned, red afro or freckles...because that may be my baby brother!!
 It is sad that I have to guess if that is my brother in a club or have to tell my kid "that could be your uncle"...
I think with age progression he would look like chris brown or micheal ealy...
but I have not seen him since he was 3...
now I look exactly the same as I did at 3 (from pics I saw previously)... so does my other siblings...one in which has died)...so I suspect he will look the same...
 but for now I must guess until I have the luxery of hiring a private detective...

I use to go to the house in Elmsford, NY for weekly visits and I know it is 5 minutes from paul bunion statue at the gas station.... but my memory fails to find the little white house with the porch....

perhaps it is not time to find him yet, but I will never give up and neither should you. We should not have to stop loving a sibling because they are adopted, we should be given a choice by the adopted parent to keep in touch or get updates every year...why not?
 I am sure he wants to know what we look like.
I am grateful if he is with a loving family...and I remember them as such...but it would have been nice, if someone, even the agency would have updated us on his life..even if we could not see him...
If you adopt please keep this in mind: we never stop loving our sibilings...even if they are taken away for a good reason..

thanks for loving our siblings xo
