Hi all. I'm John. Born in Assisi Mother & Baby Home, March 2, 1967. Birth mother and father from Wexford, Ireland. From Assisi I went to Sheringham and was adopted from there by an American couple stationed in England. Adopted father was in the US Air Force. They took me to the US when I was about 2 years old. Bottom line, I've had a great life with an awesome adopted family and extended relatives. I met my birth mother and birth father in 2008. They married a couple of years after my birth and adoption. They had 3 daughters, who are all married with children. So know I have an entire second family in England, Ireland, and Scotland. It's been an amazing experience. My birth mother's time at Assisi must have been difficult and traumatic. She doesn't like to talk about it and I stopped asking because I don't want to upset her about this time of her life. I located my birth family using a woman based in the UK who does that kind of thing for a living. Her name is Celia Heritage and she found my birth mother very fast with minimal information I was able to provide. Hope this helps some of you.
