My adopted name is Karlene‚ my birth name was Earlene M. Clark‚ I was born in October 1965 in Pasco‚ WA to birth/biological mother Ione Richards and Warren Clark (now deceased) who’s name was on my birth certificate‚ I was told and confirmed by DNA Jerry Minatoya (now deceased) is my biological father. 1965/1966 State Dept. Children Family Services removed me (I was approximately 11 months) and my two half siblings (brothers) from our birth/biological mothers home in Pasco‚ WA‚ Franklin County. My 2 brothers approximate age 4 & 5 years‚ both said to shared same biological father‚ I do not know their biological fathers’ name‚ was told they went by first names Chuck & Jerry and was Native American‚ from their biological father. I was placed in a foster home where my fosters parents adopted me in 1968 in the close proximity of my birth place. I do not know if my brothers were placed in foster care system (foster home) together‚ separately‚ if they got adopted together or separately or grew up in state care never being adopted. Our biological mothers’ mother was Helena Smith (would be our biological grandmother (now deceased)‚ who lived in or around my birth place. I located a younger half sibling (brother) who has a different biological father‚ approximately 7 years younger than me‚ half African American‚ he was born and raised near my birth place by his biological father‚ where the State terminated our biological mother’s parental rights. Early 1990’s I located our biological mother (Ione) in Phoenix‚ AZ‚ unfortunately it was not an endearing moment. I have always known I was adopted‚ I was blessed and raised by a loving family who adopted me. Throughout my life and still today‚ I yearn‚ feel an empty place in my heart for my biological sibblings. I’m in hope we are blessed and God gives us opportunity to find each other‚ alive or deceased.
