I am looking for my biological aunt. My grandmother was forced to give up a child for adoption(closed) and kept it a secret for many years. She was never allowed to speak about it. She always regretted it. My grandmother was very young, 16 or 17 at the time, very strict, religious parents. She was shamed and forced to believe that contacting her daughter would ruin the woman’s life and began to believe it was true. Had to hide the pregnancy and give birth at Home of the Innocents in Louisville, KY. Was always reminded that the child was in a better family and if the woman met my grandmother, would be disappointed. This would have been around 1957-1959. I would love to find this person and just see her, even once. She may not want to know anything but I would love to speak to her. I would love for her to know that she was not unwanted and even if she has a full, happy life, her birth mother loved her and always thought about her. I had a brother that was put up for adoption as an infant. When I discovered this, and he reached out and found us, it changed my life. Although we aren’t as close as I’d like due to us both having families and just being super busy, knowing I have another brother and that he has a great life is a wonderful feeling. It would be amazing to hear anything about my aunt. I understand that many adopted people do not need or want to find their biological family. Selfishly, I feel compelled to find this person. Just to speak to her once would be amazing. Even if you have a wonderful life and family that love you, please know that you have biological family, that without knowing you, think about you and wish you all the best. This is what I know: 1)Birth Mother’s name was Mary Ruth Looney 2)Birth father was likely hispanic, possibly named Luis? That is not a fact, just information I have heard secondhand. He most likely never knew about the pregnancy. 3)The closed adoption was through Home of the Innocents in Louisville, KY 4)My grandmother chose the name Kelly but it is unknown if that was ever on the birth certificate. 5)I do not know the exact birth day/month/year
