The Tigers in Your Dreams: 14 stories of adoptees reuniting with family members is an emotional book about adoption and searching. It contains true accounts of adoptees searching for and contacting their birth families, including siblings that they may not have known about.
Also included is information and tips for your own search.
Sandra and her Committee of eight, M.L.A. Marianne Jablonski and Minister Iris Evans, were instrumental in opening the adoption records in Alberta on January 1, 2005. There are amendments still required to allow family members to obtain information from the adoption file should the birth parents be deceased or should the adoptee be deceased. At the present time, only those involved in the adoption triangle may obtain information from the adoption files.

Sandra (Butler) Ladwig was a Parent Finder in Alberta for 49 years. She has located well over 500 missing persons and has assisted over 1000 people who just needed support and direction. She has a twin brother George, who is a Private Investigator. George has been a great help with some of the searches Sandra has completed over the years. Sandra worked as a legal secretary for 20 years and was able to assist the lawyers in her firm by locating the whereabouts of defendants so that they could be served with legal documents. Sandra does, in almost all cases, teach the adoptee to make her/his own telephone call to a birth mother, birth father and siblings. She is hoping that these true stories will not only entertain those involved in the adoption triangle, but will also provide ideas and directions for adoptees who are up against a brick wall in their own searches.
