My mother gave birth to a boy at The Willows in 1934. She was age 17, just out of high school. Records at the Willows were destroyed. My DNA in ancestry.com is a match with a man J,M - account managed by John Mader. This man was born at The Willows in 1934. He did not know he was adopted until his 50"s. Mom had always been honest with us about the baby she had and had to give away. John is still living - yesterday was his 84th birthday. I have messaged, but only have heard from his wife. She doesn’t want to upset him. They have sent for his original birth certificate. I think that will be a dead end. His DNA matches all of our Mom’s relatives my sister, nephew and all the cousins. For me it says "immediate family". His wife does not believe the DNA. IN my mind, this man has to be my brother. I explained that DNA is what the government, the law enforcement, etc all use to prove who someone is or if they are the criminal. But she is still waiting for the birth certificate. I searched all these years only to be denied. Vary sad situation.
