"Are You my Mother?"

I had to pick up a fewthings at Mal-Wart recently, and I bought my first book since living in Mountain Town. I purchased: "Are you my Mother?" by Dr. Seuss. I can recall walking through the campus of the University of Maryland in about 87 and seeing this book in someone's car. I thought: "Yeah, where are you mom?" The book really resonates with me (and I'm sure most adoptees) in a way Seuss could never have imagined!

Because the first 25 yrs of my life if I saw a woman about 20 years older then me about in public, who looked like me; I'd think, "Are YOU my mother?"

In May 89 I would begin my search (no computers) and I'd find her 3 weeks later!
