Hi. May name is Claire‚ formerly Bettina Drolshagen‚ born Dec. 7‚ 1953 in Frankfurt a/Main. THE STORY: Margot Herrmann née Drolshagen‚ born in Rheidt/Rheinland on Jan. 9‚ 1921‚ married in Goslar on July 19‚ 1945 to Mr. Herrmann gave birth to an illegitimate daughter‚ that is‚ not the child of her husband‚ a girl‚me‚ named Bettina‚ on Dec. 7‚ 1953 in Frankfurt a/Main. A claim of paternity by Benno Spira‚ identified as a Polish businessman‚ is included in the German adoption file it’s statement with no signature by Benno Spira. [BUT THIS PATERNITY STATEMENT SUBMITTED TO THE COURT WAS DISPROVED BY 23&ME: the biological father was a married man‚ an American Jewish atty.‚ with his ofc. listed in Frankfurt a/M telephone directory‚ by the name of Arthur Freedman‚ born 8 May 1922‚ New Haven‚ CT died 13 Sept. 1962‚ Belize.] Margot Herrmann née Drolshagen gave consent that Bettina Drolshagen be adopted by an American Army couple. Bettina (that’s me) left the orphanage located in outskirts of Frankfurt a/M on July 30‚ 1955 to live with my adoptive parents. The adoption petition signed by biological mother‚ Margot Herrmann née Drolshagen was on 5 Aug. 1955. My child birth certificate was changed accordingly on April 30‚ 1956 to reflect my new adoptive name. My adoption was finalized on Jan. 13‚ 1956. Margot Herrmann née Drolshagen was remarried on Nov. 24‚ 1972 and died on Nov. 4‚ 2003 in Adendorf‚ Krs. Luneburg‚ West Germany. QUESTION #1: DID MARGOT HERRMANN née DROLSHAGEN HAVE OTHER CHILD(-REN) before or after the birth of me‚ Bettina‚ her illegitimate child‚ and‚ if so who and where are the child(-ren)? QUESTION #2: What is the first name of Mr. Herrmann‚ that is‚ the first husband of Margot Herrmann née Drolshagen? QUESTION #3: When did Margot Herrmann née Drolshagen and Mr. Herrmann get divorced? QUESTION #4: On what DATE and WHERE was Mr. Herrmann born? (My guess is that he was born in Goslar where he and Margo got married and where Margot got her Personal Identity Card‚ # NS 828659 issued 29 Apr 1952 in Goslar‚ Germany.) QUESTION #5: On what DATE and WHERE did Mr. Herrmann die‚ and where is he buried? QUESTION #6: To whom did Margot Herrmann get married on 24 Nov 1972 in Frankfurt a/Main‚ Germany? How can I find his relatives to ask him about Margot’s story as well as possible other children‚ either surrendered for adoption or raised by Margot?
