I want to make it easier for the daughter I placed for adoption to find me (but only if she wants to). I relinquished her in August or Sept 1968 to my DSHS caseworker Athena Leonadaikas. I had my baby at Harborview Hospital in Seattle but she had respiratory problems and I was not allowed to see her until she was about a week old. Then the hospital let me take her. My caseworker had been pressuring me to allow adoption all along. When I finally brought her home it was into a very bad foster home that I was in. I finally caved in and let the caseworker take her to the loving adoptive parents she had arranged (and I pray this was true). It nearly broke my heart but I was too young (16) and too scared to take proper care of her‚ and I could not imagine my life ever being any different. I named her Linda Irene but I suspect her name was changed by her adoptive parents. I have more details and pictures upon legitimate request.
