I am looking for my niece. She was born in 1994 at war memorial hospital in Kahului Maui, Hawaii. Her birth Mothers name is Bonnie May Ishimoto and her birth fathers (My Brother) name is Joston “Hoku” Militante. Her parents were teens at the time of her birth and I was was only 10 yeas old. I remember hearing the phone ring a few times early one morning and I answered it. It was my brother’s then Girlfriend asking to speak to my mom. I remember going to the hospital that day and seeing this beautiful baby girl through a glass window. I was so excited to be an aunt. I remember my parents taking my brother home to take a shower and to pick up some things before heading back to the hospital. They return home a few hours later saying that they were band from the hospital and that the baby was put up for adoption without my brother knowing. It was such a rough time for our family. My brother went through a lot and I’m sure his then girlfriend did as well. My parents went to court but nothing could be done. A few months later my brother Bonnie started dating again and we were told not to mention the baby. I was told that we would just have to wait until she turned 18. I thought of her everyday for years. I tried to find her a few times but I don’t have much information about the adoption. Her name was supposed to me Tisha-Lei Kahokumakanani Militante-Ishimoto. Till this day my brother doesn’t like talking about the situation and Bonnie messaged my older sister asking to tell me to stop look for Tisha-Lei. Over the years during the holidays and Tisha-Leis Birthday Bonnie would travel to Oregon so people said that the baby was adopted by one of her family members and she went to visit the baby. I hope to one day meet my niece and let her know that she was loved before birth and my family always wanted her. I never want her to think that she was given away so freely. Our side of the family never knew that you were going to be put up for adoption. You are always in my mind and heart!
