Please could I ask you to take care with the information of living people, and remove the names of the living people mentioned in your bio? As WikiTree is a public website having your loved ones names displayed could put them at risk for scams. Please read about living people's security for the European Union's Privacy Regulations (GDPR): GDPR FAQ.
2. I noticed what appears to be your phone number showing as part of your name. That sometimes happens if a mobile device is used to create the profile.
3. I see that you mentioned adoption in your tags/bio. By adding your branches to our shared tree, there may be an opportunity for someone to find you!
Adoptees: How to Set Up Your Profile is a WikiTree help page specifically designed for new members who indicate they are adoptees. It is also helpful for non-adopted members who have adoptees in their family tree. The page includes links to more resources, like our Adoption Angels Project, basic search techniques, information on DNA, etc.
Take care!
