My name is Stefanie Gaston and my father Darrin Gaston was adopted at birth and I am now searching for his birth parents. All I know is that he was born in Nebraska and his birth parents were teenagers and I believe the mother's parents made her give him up for adoption. It was all planned during the pregnancy‚ I believe thru an agency but I'm not sure which one‚ my grandparents who adopted him lived in Columbia‚ Missouri and drove to Nebraska to get him as soon as he was born. It was a closed adoption so once they left the hospital with him they never contacted the birth family again which was planned from the beginning and why they adopted from out of state. They didn't want anyone local so there was no chance of him ever running into his bio family or them being able to find him and they never liked to talk about it. In their eyes he was their son now and his bio family basically did not exist to them anymore and my dad feels the same way. He has never wanted to find them and says they gave him up for a reason and he's not at all interested in finding them. I have always respected that and never asked more questions cuz the one time I tried my grandma got very upset with me for even bringing it up and refused to give me any names or detailed information. But I lost my mom almost 2 years ago due to health complications that run in her family that my sister and I now have to watch for in ourselves which got me thinking I know nothing about my family medical history on my dad's side. So now I am trying to find them and get any information I can about family medical history.
