Rock-A-Bye-Bye-Baby by Sue Hurst

This is the story of my 50 year search to find my birthmother. I give the reader all the different tools I used to help me in my search. I was adopted in Los Angeles County in California. When I turned 18 I went to the Superior Court in Los Angeles, in hopes of getting my adoption records. I was informed that my adoption records were sealed. I was told that my birthmother was the only one who could unseal them. After writing to the Department of Social Services, I was informed that my birthmother had never requested the records be unsealed, which meant she was not looking for me, I had to go around the system to find her. It took many years of searching and having one door closed after another, before I began to get answers.
