What motivated you to search for your birth parents?

Judith Land, adoptee and author of Adoption Detective

I spent my childhood quietly wondering and longing for something intangible that was missing in my life. I never gave up hope or stopped scanning the universe for my biological parents because I was confident that some day I would find them. The ghostly image I had of my birth mother was something that haunted me throughout my childhood. Even though I had never seen her face, I often thought of her.

I instinctually began as a wee life longing for the warmth and protection of my birth mother to survive. The umbilical cord was physically severed, but the esoteric spiritual connection that bound me to my birth mother was heightened by our unnatural separation. Maybe I possessed a biological gene in my DNA that drove me to succeed. Using my sixth sense, I never gave up scanning the universe for esoteric signals emanating from her essence. I used intuition to connect in every way possible with what was intuitively familiar because I was subconsciously longing to be with her. I wanted to know why my birth parents gave me up for adoption, my family medical history, and something about my cultural heritage. I wanted to be with others who shared my same flesh and blood because I was curious to know if we looked alike, had similar habits, or personal preferences.

Ultimately, my drive to find my roots was spiritual and inspired by God.

Traveling is a great way to improve your thinking process because it is a refreshing way of exposing your mind to new things and new challenges. Dinner under a full moon in Venice was particularly stimulating.

"Experts" on The Today Show last week gave advice about open adoption. Out of three people being asked, none has any experience with open adoption and only one has even been in the adoption arena at all. The advice each has to offer?

• Star Jones:  I do not want to have to have continuous interaction with a birth parent.
• Donny Deutsch: I wouldn’t want to have to manage that. I would want it closed. As a parent, I would want to keep — “control” is not the right word — structure in your kid’s life as much as possible.
• *Nancy Snyderman: My daughter has sought out her birth mother. She absolutely has my blessing. But I warned her, it’s Pandora’s Box. You never know what that’s gonna be.
