teah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — Phone calls and emails fi lled Dawn Lewis’  days trying to locate any detail about her birth family who she  fi nally made contact with 42 years later on May 30.  After receiving back a DNA test from ancestry.com and nonidentifying information from the Clinton County Department of  Social  Services,  she  was  able  to  link  to  her  birth  mother,  who,  along with the rest of her birth family, wish to remain unnamed.  Dawn initially made contact with her sister through a private  Facebook  message  after  the  Clinton  County  DSS  revealed  her  birth mother’s name and a surname and  search angels located  her  sister’s  name.  From  there,  they  exchanged  numbers  and  talked  on  the  phone,  which  eventually  led  to  contact  with  her  brother and lastly, her birth mother.  They  all  expressed  that  they  wish  to  remain  in  contact  with  each other and pursue a relationship.  “I have a whole new family,  and I fi nally feel complete knowing who I am and where I came from,” Dawn said with joy. “It  has been a very long journey fi lled with many disappointments  and, now, a lot of happiness.”  Dawn Lewis, who made contact with her family for the first time in 42 years, is pictured here as an infant.
