I retired from nursing after my third and last child was born because I wanted to be a stay-at home mother. Many times while I was at home during the years my children were in school, I had the desire to go back to my profession of nursing. However, it wasn't feasible at that time. When I look back on those years that I stayed at home, I have no regrets, as I know that my children may not have turned out as well as they did. I have three grown children two of whom have their own children whom I love very much. I learned a very valuable lesson from growing up with my adopted parents that nothing will ever come between my children and me. Family is everything to me, and I will never put into jeopardy all the love we all have for each other.
I wanted my book to be one of self-help for those who have gone through the same experience as I have in not being able to not know my identity or who I am. I kknow nothing about my background; I do not know my nationality, my birth name, my natural parents' religion or whatt they did for a living. I wrote about my natural father possibly being in World War ll, but I am not sure about that, either. Beause my adopted mother told me that my natural mother was a "war mistress," I believe he was in the War somehow. I have tried to find out if anybody out there has ever heard what a "war mistress" was, but not one person who I have written to or talked to has ever heard of the term. That is why I feel that my adopted mother made up the term herself in order to protect me or my natural mother from the truth as to what she really was. I have my ideas, but again I don't have the answers to what my natural mother was in reality.view less
