Adoptedinga81462

I was adopted in Augusta‚ GA in August of 1962. The adoption was not through an adoption agency but rather handled through a woman named Bee Hamilton. The hospital was St. Joseph’s Hospital. I am told that the birth mother’s were put into houses that Bee owned and they stayed there until they went into labor. Once the baby was born and taken away from them‚ they were sent back on their own‚ I guess back to their homes. I do not know. Many‚ many years ago like over 45 yrs ago‚ I answered the phone and a man asked who I was. When I said "Julie" he said "Well‚ Julie this is your Uncle ____ (unfortunately I can’t remember his name) but I do remember my dad was sitting right beside where I was‚ and I said "I’m sorry‚ but I don’t have any Uncle_____. My dad hearing this immediately took the phone from me and then said for me to go outside. So I did but I left the door cracked and stood right by the door. I heard him say‚ "Who is this?" He then said I don’t care if you are that woman’s brother‚ she gave her up and you all have no right to try and get in touch with her now. Once she is 18 you can try then and it will be her decision." Then whoever it was said something about my dad trying to keep me from my biological parents‚ and my dad said "I don’t care about her thinking we are keeping Julie from her. I am a 5 General in the United States Army. My next in command is the President of The United States‚ so please do try to get in touch with him and report me. I will gladly give you the number to which you can reach him." So whoever it was apparently called my dad a smarta** and hung up. My dad told this to me and my mom. He asked me if I had been looking for anyone‚ and I was crying because that was the very moment I found out I was adopted. I was 23 yrs old. So that was 40 yrs ago.
