I am seeking medical information about my birth parents and their relatives. I have been ill now for 16 months and the doctors still don't have a clue as to what is wrong with me. It appears my immune system has a problem and is unable to fight off an infection. I nearly died from a severe case of pneumonia in February 2003.

I have two children, a girl 7 and a boy 5. My son is severely autistic and I exhibit some mild symptoms also. I need to know if any chronic illnesses or mental problems run in my family. I owe it to my daughter to find any information I can also. At some point in her life I'm sure she will have to make a decision whether to have children or not.

I would like to know about my parents, but I totally respect their privacy. My first and foremost priority is to get medical information. It is fine if they wish to remain anonymous. I understand the circumstances they were under and have no ill will against either. As a matter of fact, I am very grateful to my mother for placing me with a loving family as she was too young to care for me.

PLEASE read the following information and email me if you have any information whatsoever that would help me.
