Samanthahenson1987

My dad‚ Joseph Denton Henson had a baby boy with a woman named Diane. I don’t remember her last name. She was on drugs when she had my 1/2 brother who was named Joseph (Joey) Henson Jr at a hospital in Portland‚ Oregon in the early 90’s. I was somewhere between the ages of 3-5 at the time I think‚ it was a long time ago‚ and I was born in September 1987‚ so that is why I put several years in because I do not know his birth date. He was a sick baby because his mother was on Methamphetamines during the pregnancy and maybe even during his birth. My dad had 3 young daughters at the time‚ and because he was not on drugs at the time‚ the doctors were going allow my father to keep his only son. His mother was arrested after his birth. Finding out from the doctors that he would need expensive medications and special care‚ my father realized that he would not be able to afford the care he needed with his one income and also being able to care for 3 daughters as a single father. So he gave Joey up for adoption with the advise of the staff there. We all got to hold our brother once before he was adopted. He looked like an extremely happy‚ smiley baby. We have one picture of him‚ but there isn’t a time stamp on it. I have always wanted to get to know him‚ to meet him again. He’d be a grown man now. I have always loved my sisters‚ but we want to meet our brother. I want to know if he is still alive. With the medical issues he had as a baby‚ I don’t know if he is or not. I don’t know if he’s healthy‚ if he even knows he was adopted‚ if they changed his name‚ we know nothing. Any help at all in tracking him down for us would be greatly appreciated
