I get so excited everytime I read your posts. I never have time to do them justice, but just knowing that I can sit down whenever I want and read all of this is amazing. I had a interesting experience the other day looking for information on our adoptive son's biological mother. I only knew her name and that she was born in Virgina and had died around 15 years ago. My friend told me to go to "find a grave.com" and was totally surpise to see a picture of her grave that had been posted in February by a man who makes a hobby of photographing graves. Went onto find his grandparents, great grandparents, and eventually his g-g-grandparents that imigrated from Italy. Hope all is well with you. Love, Marlene
