As I step back a minute and look at what this year has put upon our doorstep, I'm a little taken back. Change after change has taken place. Tim and I both feel as if we stepped onto a roller coaster Jan. 1st 2012. I will spare you all of the change that we've been through over the last few months with the exception of one very important change.
Last week, Tim felt the Lord tugging at his heart. He had a sense that he should get on google and look up his adoption information. It was at that moment that our lives changed forever. After doing a little digging (btw, it's a little crazy at how quickly you can find all sorts of info on just about anyone), Tim found out who his birth mother was. All these years, he thought that his birth mom's name was Jolene Halsen, when in reality it is Johnene Lynn Halsen but maybe Johnene Lynn Dragon now. His birth father's name is Michael J. Galeazzi. It turns out that his birth mom has been looking for Tim for quite some time. Do to the fact that Tim's name was changed at birth, she has been unable to locate him. Tim's name at birth was Richard Brian Halsen. After hours of research, we found out that Tim also has two sisters. Based on the information we found, he has one sister who is in her mid 30's and her name is Emma. We don't know anymore information about her other than that. We also found that Tim's other sister's name is Rosie L. Halsen and lives in Nampa, Idaho. Thanks to facebook we were able to find a picture of her, but are still trying to contact her as contact info is very limited. It's pretty incredible to think that we have a whole other family out there. Tim is still trying to wrap his head around all of this new information and change. He wants to meet his biological mom and sister so very badly. If anyone reading this blog has any information that can help, please post a comment in the comment section. Tim's sister Rosie, also goes by Rose and we believe she is 28 years old. We are not sure if his birth mom is still alive as she had a very bad heart back in 2001, We think she maybe in Emmett, Idaho or in Nampa, Idaho.
This has been such an incredible God ordained opportunity! Everything has fallen into place perfectly, and we are so excited and nervous to see what doors open next.
