Yeah, Eileen went through her adoptive mothers things when she died when Eileen was 13. So she had a name to work off of and knew the city of her birth as well. I think she finally found her through the obituaries. Turns out Eileen was the 4th child of this woman and she had give the 3 and 4 child up for adoption. The 2 child is the one who the obituary was on and Eileen's mother and her location were listed in the obituary. The family has been very welcoming so it has been a nice experience for her. I was always so worried that she would be rebuffed. But she was concerned about her medical history too since she now has 2 children of her own.
