Online voters can help Raleigh resident win a day with LPGA star Natalie Gulbis

A Raleigh woman is one of five national finalists who could win a day with LPGA star Natalie Gulbis, and Triangle residents can help her win. [The voting has ended. Scroll down to the result below in the blog update.]

This summer, Tracy Sternberg, 40, of Raleigh participated in a nationwide “Who’s Behind Your Success” essay contest (the essay is below). Her submission was one of five chosen from thousands of submissions.

Sternberg’s entry focuses on how her stepfather, Bill Blackwell, whom she calls her dad, helped her succeed. She said she entered the contest mostly on a lark, and whether she wins or not, she’s happy that her essay provided a special opportunity.

As an adult adoptee, maybe I have it all wrong, although I don’t believe I do, after doing the extensive research on adoption laws within our state.

When these mothers relinquished infants or children for adoption, they signed papers. In these papers they relinquished ‘ALL’ rights to the said child. AND there was nothing in those papers which stated they had any ‘rights’ to confidentiality, or ‘privacy’ from that child. Why should these mothers be granted these rights now, all these years later?
