Lisastaton

My name is Lisa Staton and currently live in the state of Virginia. I am looking for my birth parents and any possible brothers and sisters etc. My birth mother was Marina P. Hovsepian, I was told she was 18 and was of Romanian heritage and my father (name unknown) was 19 and was Irish. I was born 9/11/1963. I have my original baptism certificate from a St. Margaret Church in Dorchester, Mass. from 9/13/63 with my birth name of Dorean Maria Hovsepain. I found this was enclosed with a letter from the Catholic Charitable Bureau of Boston Mass. I also have in my possession the social worker card with the name of Louise M. Gernelli of Boston Mass. and lawyer involved of was Edward B. McCusker from Waltham, Mass. I have always felt that I did not "belong" to my parents and was confirmed just before I got married at age 21. I did not begin my search for my birth parents till both my adopted parents passed, the last being my father in 2009. I was told that I was born at Mass. General in Boston Mass but wonder if that is correct upon learning there was a home for unwed mothers near the St. Margaret church in Dorchester, Mass of the name of St. Mary’s and the hospital was St. Margaret’s. I was cared for by a lady that lived in the same apt. complex as my adoptive parents lived. I was told my "real" grandmother would come visit me and I have a needlework picture 0f a little blonde girl kneeling praying and is hanging on my office wall as we write. My adoptive parents lived in Waltham , Mass and moved to Warwick Rhode Island. My adoptive mom told me some one called looking for me there when I was about 2 years old. I am curious to know my genetics and health history and to see if I have any brothers and sisters and if my parents are still alive. I would love to connect if they would wish to know me.
