Hi! My name is Sue Shepherd and I gave up my child in 1987. My parents coerced me into giving him up and I had no support from the birthdad or my family. My family told me that they wanted me out of town until having the baby was all over with and it was never allowed to be talked about again. They did not want to embarrass the family with my out of wedlock pregnancy. They obviously must have thought that I would have the baby, give it up and be done with it. However, it was not that simple. I gave birth to that precious little boy, nursed him in the hospital for the five days I was in there with him and then left the hospital without him. Much to my parents' disappointment, having him and being done with it just was not that simple and I became so angry at them that I did not talk to them for two years and being so emotionally distraught, I went back to the birthdad and we had another baby, a little girl, Ivy, who will now be graduating from High School this coming Sunday. The birthdad and I were together for six years and I raised Ivy by myself and later on married another man and had a little girl in 2003 and a little boy in 2005. I have searched for my firstborn all through the years and finally found out who he is through a Private Investigator and through Adoption Search Angels. I have sent him messages through myspace. He does read them because it indicates that he reads them but to this day have had no response from him. It is my hope that I will be reunited with him and I also hope that he will have a good healthy relationship with his full-sibling biological sister, his half-sibling biological sister
and his half-sibling biological brother.
From what I have been told, my son has only a sister in his adoptive home. I just think of how amazing that in his biological family, he has two sisters and a brother. I really feel that it would surely be neat if they could one day reunite and have wonderful and fulfilling relationships.
Right now I just cannot seem to get him off of my mind. Maybe it is because his birthday is coming up. He will be 20 on the 27th of this month. For some reason he is just so heavy on my mind and I feel like I am going crazy. I have so longed for many years to speak with him.
