HelpFindMyBrother

Hello I’m Sharon Brakefield’, and I am looking for my big brother born at Cleveland regional medical Center in Shelby NC on August 27/28,1980. His birth parents are Jonathan Freeman Pennington and Judy Kay Crawford His mom named him Freeman Dale Pennington but sadly Was told he had passed away before delivery. However his mother was knocked out when he was born due to the doctor forcing her to take medication. She never seen him or got to hold him. She couldn’t even bury him. She believed to her dying day that her son was alive and stolen from her and adopted out. After about 14 years she contacted the hospital and asked for her birth records and was told they had been sealed and she could not have access. She passed away in 2012 but he has never left my mind! I contacted register of deeds Cleveland county to see if I could get a copy of a death certificate. The lady could not find his name anywhere she even went as far to search the entire year of 1980 and nothing. After explaining what had happened and what we as a family believe she decided to dig a little deeper. She did find out that the only reason birth records are sealed is because the child was adopted. I need help finding him. He was stolen from my parents.. if any of the dates or places sound like what you are looking for please feel free to email.
