Out of the blue the other night, on facebook. I went on the group that is for the town I was born in. I posted what i knew about my birth, and the name I went by, although I didnt know the last name, we thought it might be german and starting with an H.
A woman with a last name contacted me and asked me to contact her. This is what i just got. I have the hugest lump in my throat right now.

Re: Hi there
well...I don't know if this is a coincidence or not but, I was born in '78 and when I was very young, my aunt had a baby, (she was about 20 I beleive) anyway, she brought this little baby home, and her name was Amanda. My grandparents didnt have alot of money, and I don't think could help take care of the baby. Since I was very young, I didn't ask many questions, but I did when I got a little older, and my grandmother told me that "they took her" I wan't sure what that exactly meant, but it was good enough for my curious little mind. ANYWAY! I know that the baby's name was Amanda and she was "taken" or adopted when I was very young. My family still has a picture of this little baby laying on my grandmothers couch. My aunt, looking back, fell apart. She had two girls after Baby Amanda, but my Aunt wasn't the same, and her boyfriend told her he was taking the girls away. He took the two girls, the last time I saw them they were babies....maybe 1 year and the other, 6 months.
I beleive that baby Amanda was born in Roseway Hospital. To me- I beleive YOU are my cousin. BUT I don't want to get your hopes up, in the case that you may not be. It is probably a very sensitive subject. Anyway, I will talk to my other family mambers and see what they know, if you have any questions, feel free to message me any time.
BTW, I am from Ingomar, that's in Shelburne County. That would be where baby Amanda's Mom is from. Oh, and my and her last name was Hemeon-German I think. Baby Amanda's Dad's last name was Newell.
I hope this helps! Or, maybe brought you a little closer.
It would be totally awesome if you are my Cousin Amanda....I see that you go by Mandie....Since I may be Family....Do you mind if I call you Amanda?
Talk to you soon!
