The Reunion
After a
lifetime of searching, the maternal side of my family welcomed me with open arms in August, 2006. It turns out some of them had known about me and were also searching for me.
I have four 1/2 brothers,
Lee W. Cole 1954 -
Brad Cole 1956 -
Randle J. Cole 1964 -
all living in California
and
Shane Madison 1957 -

Given up at birth for adoption, I have just discovered my roots......and it is a wonderful, warm, inclusive family.
