Blessed Beyond Measure

I can't believe this has happened to me!! Of all the people in the world....

Alright people, for those of you who don't know me, I am Ann Marie Campbell and I was taken from my mother at the age of 2 or 3. I was adopted when I was 5. For the past 15 years I have been searching for my family. In fact, I was at the point of giving up hope, In my head, it had been 15 years and much time and prayer had been spent on the matter. It seemed as if my resources would never happen and my prayers would never be answered,so I was giving up. One evening I was on Myspace and had my preadoption papers next to me and remebered that I could do a peoples search on myspace. I just discovered that I had a half sister... so I typed in her name just hopeing for a miracle, but really doubting it would happen. Upon searching I found my half sister and then eventually my entire family, minus my dad!!!! I spoke to my mother the next day and immdeiately began to make plans for a trip to see my family.



This past Sunday, April 12,2009, I flew to Iowa to see my family. The ride was painful and full of emotions, not sure what would happen. Upon seeing my mother for the first time in 22 years,the reunion was a happy one and the moment I was in my mother's arms the tears flowed freely. That day I met many of my realitives and so many of them say I look like my mother. I have to agree. I was exhausted since I hadnt slept since noon the day before and when I was finally allowed to go to bed, I slept like I was dead till one thirty the next day. I spent the next few hours getting ready for my Aunt Dee's birthday party.It was quite an experience! First, my sister Darcy passed out on the floor from being overheated and dehydrated and preggers and my other sister was complaining of a hurt ankle... not sure what that was from! O.o Another cousin decides that as I was leaving she wasn't feeling so well. Trust you me, I booked it out of there top speed. lol.


Sure my family is the WORST for being a bunch of drama queens and half of the time I swear they hate each other, but in the end, I am truely blessed. I dreamed of this day for so long, but never actually saw it coming. Sure, there are alot of kinks that have to be smoothed out, and I am sure that there are going to be rough seas ahead, but I am ready and willing. I have two families now. Not every person can say that! I have also learned the truth of why I was taken from my mother and it was really messed up! I am anxious and looking forward to what lies ahead! I'll keep you posted! Love y'all!
