each, for none will understand him. But I think, if he has the strength of both his parents,
he will understand both worlds, and so overcome.

"A word of thanks can hardly say...How much your kindness meant to me. I'm overwhelmed
with gratitude.  Love & Care,"  says Ate Liza (sister to Mary Ann)



Nelson says: " I think things will be fine with me & Anna Liza. You are right about it taking
time to soak in. It was a shock to me & especially my wife as she had no idea about her. I
never told her because I never thought I would ever hear from her.  I didn't even know if she
was alive. I would like to thank you & AFF for getting us together. She told me she has been
trying since she was 11 years old to find me.I believe everything will be ok. Maybe someday I
will meet her. God bless" Nelson

sister Mary Ann in fact is. 2008

Cherie says: My journey has been since 1995 when I started talking to people about my mom who does not live in the
states. My family in the states knew about it but my friends did not. I wanted to let her know I was graduating from a
Community College and I had gotten married. But no one really wanted to help or if they did they would want lots of money
and money was not near me at that time. I was already working 3 jobs before I went back to college...Again thank you for
creating this website because if you had not called me on March 26th, 2007, I would not been able to hear my mom's
voice, who I have not heard in 26 years. Keep doing the good things that you do for others and God will repay you!
