At this moment I am feeling pretty sure that my birth mother is probably not all bad.
I sent her a second letter last week telling her I had all the details of the adoption and that I only wanted one thing fro her. My father's name.
I had made this request a year ago and was ignored. This time I had quite a bit more info and included it in the letter.
Today I received that same letter back. It was in an envelope, and it was addressed to me...typed with no return address. There were two sentences highlighted in the letter. "it's time to get serious." and "You will never hear from me again. I'll honor that promise to her. She never told anyone about me and it would needlessly complicate her life to have to 'fess up now. She's celebrating her 50th wedding anniversary next month and there's no reason to take the chance of ruining things for her at this point.
The self-addressed stamped postcard was also in the envelope.
I am apparently now looking for my birth father, his name is William Hudson, he was 19 when I was born in 1957. It is my understanding that he lived in Independence Missouri at that point. I know he was tall slender, had curly hair and that he had finished high school at that time. I know nothing more.
Any advice on finding him?
Addendum: I've been giving this matter some thought over the past several months and it occurs to me that my father's name might be Douglas William Hudson. I know for sure he was called Doug, and I know for sure that I was named Douglas at birth, and when my birth mother sent me that card with his name on it she may have been completing his name. She just typed "William Hudson" on it, but knowing how she has operated regarding this issue over the years that may well have been what she did. Since she named me Douglas I'm pretty willing to bet that is what she intended. To confuse the issue for me even more. But now I think I'll see if Douglas W. Hudson exists in Missouri. Because there's been no luck with plain old William.
Any help is appreciated.
