A strange message on my answering machine

Last night, someone called my house and left a message on my machine. He said he was looking for someone with hubby's name and his mother, who had my name. From the little bit of info he left, I assume that he's looking for a long lost family member, probably a birth mother.
I called the number he left and got a machine myself. I left him a message that said I was sorry, but we weren't the people he was looking for. But, I wanted to do more for him.
Looking for a birth mother has to be so hard to do. Imagine just calling strangers to find out any information you can. To wonder with each call if it will be another dead end. To wonder whether it's easier to not find them, because if you find them, how will they react?
But, it's closure that some people need. It's the reason I never could have adopted a child. I think it's wonderful that some people can open their hearts like that. But, I don't think it's something that I could personally deal with.
I offered to blog about him, I thought that maybe we could all band together and help him find her. I wonder if he'll call back.
Probably not, I'll probably never know what happens. Well, I hope he finds whatever he's looking for. If not in his birth mother, then in himself.
Here's to a fruitful search, for everyone who's trying to find someone important.
