In 1994 I joyously met my birth family. More than half of these pictured have already died. On this day I was told I had a missing sister who disappeared as an infant. Thus began a search that would last for the next 25 years. 25 years later. Hello, big sister. I’m glad you are alive and doing well. In a few days we will meet for the first time. Now it’s our turn to have our picture taken together. #adoption, #search, #dna, #truth, #family, #adoptee, #missingsomeone, #missingperson

Carmen, thank you for coming all the way from Guatemala to help define and shape me 30 years ago. I have always been a good man, but you made me even better.

When I was 30 I said goodbye to Kansas to pursue my jewelry career in California. I met Carmen on the same day I unloaded my meager possessions into my Santa Ana apartment. I knew then that Carmen would forever be my Guatemalan princess.

Dear birthmother, I never had the chance to meet you. If I did, I would have thanked you for giving me what you could not offer, which was the chance to live in a loving home and being able to experience the fullness and richness of life. I know you made a difficult decision. You weighed your options, and you made a choice for which I am grateful. When I was born I had to reserve the designation of mother to another. But I know you were my mother for nine months. I like to think you took good care of me during that time. I cannot imagine a harsher sentence than to relinquish one’s child. Thank you for giving me life. #adoption, #roots, #adoptee, #search, #truth, #biological, #origins, #forgiveness, #understanding,

Some of you think I just have fun all day at work designing jewelry, selling diamonds and taking crazy pictures. Well... yes, that’s pretty much what I do. #halorings, #rings, #jewelrydesigner, #diamondmike, #shesaidyes, #engagementring, #diamondring, #engaged, #weddingring, #howheasked, #gettingmarried, #customjewelry, #orangecountyjeweler, #loosediamonds, #diamonds,

I do not remember the name of this remote village that I stumbled upon years ago in Guatemala, but I do remember how I was instantly attracted to the positive nature of this native family. Although I was a stranger, they heartily welcomed me with freshly-made corn tortillas cooked over a fire and garnished with crumbled salt. They were all amused in watching me eat one for the first time. I remember how time stopped and nothing else mattered except for the brief moments I was there. Even today, I long for this wonderful human quality of kindness and inclusiveness that is sometimes hard to find in our modern society.

Carmen is mad again. When she saw a man down the road holding his girlfriend's hand, kissing her and squeezing her, she asked why I couldn’t do the same? I told her I couldn't because I barely knew the girl. #CarmenSays

Before and after a customer gave me his wife’s old ring mounting. I set a larger diamond in 4 prongs and polished it. Looks better than ever. #halorings, #rings, #jewelrydesigner, #shesaidyes, #engagementring, #diamondring, #engaged, #weddingring, #gettingmarried, #customjewelry, #orangecountyjeweler, #loosediamonds, #diamonds,#customjeweler ,

Maybe we were just lucky, but my adoptive dad and I were always the coolest guys in the neighborhood. #adoption, #missingperson, #genealogy, #searching, #truth,
