197. Abbyashworthfazio : Francesco Fazio was born on July 10‚ 1892 I believe. The story goes that his orphanage burned down and in survival he stole a tomato and the shop owner was punishing him when a man interrupted. He threw some money on the ground and adopted the kid that night. Apparently Francesco (Frank) reminded him of his late son and he couldn’t have anymore kids.
200. Domenica1963 : My nonna Domenica gave up her daughter. She would be my fathers half sister.
I would like to connect with her even though my nonna has now passed.
My nonna name is
Domenica Guido
From Serra Aiello Cosenza Italy
Not sure when she was given up but possibly she would be in her early 60s
My name is also Domenica
202. Tesfaye97 : Hi all‚
My name is Tesfaye‚ I am 29 yo from Italy. Unfortunately‚ I have very little info/documents about my story before being adopted to Italy. From what I can tell you for now‚ I know I was found abandoned in Addis Ababa on March 6th 1997 (Gregorian calendar‚ should be 27 Yekatit 1989 in Ethiopian calendar) by police next to a market place very early in the morning. Carried to the police station and then brought to the Kibebe Tsehay orphanage for some months. Later transferred to Centro Aiuti Per l’Etiopia where my Italian adoptive parents brought me to Italy.
Ever since‚ I’ve always wondered the existence of any relative close to me.
Best‚
Tesfaye
204. Silvia0323 : My parents told us that mom was pregnant and had an abortion. Somehow I have the feeling that it might not be true. Something is telling me that I have an older sibling.
205. Francesca1973 : I am an accomplished artist. I live in Treviso Italy.
I was left at the hospital. I would like to connect with family. No judgment.
208. Danilus : am searching for Margarita Valeska Sánchez Arriola‚ a female born in Chile on November 21‚ 1983. Her Chilean birth registration is No. 10‚864-A. She may have been taken abroad or adopted internationally after February 5‚ 1984. Her name‚ surname‚ and possibly her recorded date of birth may have been changed. Potential destination countries include Sweden‚ Italy‚ the Netherlands‚ Norway‚ Denmark‚ Germany‚ France‚ Belgium‚ Switzerland‚ Spain‚ or the United Kingdom. Biological relatives are seeking information and are willing to confirm the relationship through DNA testing.
209. Dianaluzarausrojas : Good morning. She was adopted around 2014, when she was nearly 10 years old; she had been at the "Señor de la Soledad" children’s village in Huaraz. We knew her as María Fernanda, but a cousin of mine—who is a lawyer—saw in a file that she had been registered under the name Giovanna Virginia. She likely doesn’t know she has a sister, because when we were separated—or rather, when my mother left and abandoned my father and me—I was about three years old and she was one. My name is Diana Luz Araus Rojas, and the person looking for her is her biological sister.
Buenos días ella fue adoptada aproximadamente en el año 2014 casi a los 10 años por ahí ‚estuvo en la aldea de huaraz es la aldea infantil señor de la soledad nosotros la conocíamos con el nombre de María Fernanda pero una prima que es abogada vio en un expediente que fue registrada con el nombre de Giovanna Virginia ella no debe de saber que tiene una hermana porque cuando nos separaron o cuando mi madre se fue y nos dejó a mi papá y a mí yo tenía aproximadamente 3 años y ella un año mi nombre es diana luz araus rojas y quién le busca es su hermana biológica
210. Givster : Searching for the biological family of a woman born in Turin‚ Italy on 26 May 1969 and adopted as an infant that same year by an American family. Before adoption she is believed to have been cared for at the Istituto Provinciale per l’Infanzia e la Maternità (IPIM)‚ the provincial infant home in Turin.
DNA testing (Ancestry‚ MyHeritage‚ GEDmatch‚ FamilyTreeDNA) points clearly to Sicilian origins on both sides. Matching surnames include Anzalone‚ Palermo‚ Scarantino‚ Curatolo‚ and Gallo on one line‚ and Torregrossa‚ Cammarata‚ Di Teresi‚ Gugino‚ Plumeri‚ and Mistretta on another. The family may have migrated from Sicily to Turin for work in the 1950s–60s.
We believe this may be connected to the postwar Italian adoption program that placed children of unwed mothers with American families. We are searching respectfully and with care — hoping to understand her origins and‚ if welcome‚ to connect with biological relatives. Any information‚ or any DNA match who recognizes these surnames‚ would mean a great deal.

I was matched with my birth mother just minutes after setting up my profile. It turns out that she had been searching for me for years. It's been a joy to connect with her and the rest of my biological family.
