The following is from the book Horn Creek and All and recounts the birth and adoption of my father: “It so happened that the minister of the First United Lutheran Church of Indianapolis‚ Indiana had taken under his care a Latvian woman who was far very far down on her luck. She had the misfortune to fall in love with a starry-eyed Hungarian revolutionary‚ who swept her off her feet and onto the strange soil of America. But‚ dreams of freedom not being the stuff dreams actually come to‚ the revolutionary packed his bags and went home. Leaving behind a young mother with two children‚ and another on the way. It was apparent to the pastor that she couldn’t handle the responsibility of a third child‚ not alone‚ not yet‚ and he feared for the newborn babe’s safety. The pastor mentioned to a friend of his‚ a Dr. Clark‚ about the situation‚ and asked him if he knew of any young couple that would very much like to adopt a baby. Dr. Clark‚ who would become Dwight Zeller’s father-in-law one day‚ thought immediately of Paul and Jean Zeller‚ who just happened to be home for Christmas.” The story continues that after the pastor spent much time convincing the mother that the child would have a superior life in the American West over the industrial city‚ she agreed to give the baby up to the Zellers for adoption. The older two kids were also soon adopted. The Zellers are unwilling to share any names or identifying details about my biological grandmother and grandfather‚ who gave up my father for adoption by the Paul and Jean Zeller in 1957.
