No, no, no! Not me… That would really be a story.
I got an email as a result of a post in the comments section on my blog. It was from Marty Johnson, the guy in this story:
Mortgage broker discovers he’s a prince
How cool is that? Very if you ask me. A note from a prince. The text of his letter was as follows:
I too am adopted and just as I began to search for my parents my birth mother found me. 10 months later we found my birth father in Nigeria (they met when he was a foreign student getting his master’s degree in Iowa.)
To make a long story short, it has been a wonderful experience. I do have one word of advice. I hope that you are going into this without any great expectations one way another. Some people I’ve met have had great experiences (like me) while others have not. However, the discovery is well worth the effort either way. Closure comes in all kinds of packages.
By the way- if you want to hear more about my story, pick up the November issue of GQ magazine. They had an editor and a photographer travel with me when I met my father in Africa. (It was a pretty cool deal.
Or you can do a Google search with “Marty” “Johnson” “Prince” and “Eagan”. Click on the first article that comes up.
Best of luck to you! I bookmarked your site and will check back often.
Oh Yeah- a suggestion. Tell us about what thought processes you are going through as you are putting this search together.
Well Marty, as far as any thought processes they are as follows. I have sent for the non-identiifying information from the province of Nova Scotia where I was born. As they are 3 years behind in requests I have about another 28 months to wait for that.
I’m leaving it up to the Gods really. I’ve put my name on all the reunion boards around the web including CANADopt.ca. I’ve made myself very easy to find as you can see. Heck, you found me. Anyway, I’m doubtful that I’m anything more than a pauper, but am honored that a Prince took the time to contact me. 🙂
