I’m looking for my mother’s birth family. She was adopted by the nurse of the doctor who delivered her. I am fairly certain the family name was Davis. The birth mother was heavy set, and possibly died young. Her family was large, Roman Catholic, and not well off. They adopted my mother out because they could not afford another mouth. Both families moved out to the west hills of Portland not long after the adoption, unbeknownst to each other, and it is believed that my mother’s blood brothers attended catechism class with my mother’s adopted brothers when she was a baby. Both families attended St. Pius the X church near my mother’s new home. At some point this family possibly lived in the Bonny Slope area. My mother passed away in 2004 due to non-genetic cancer. She always felt that her adoptive family was her family (which is true), and while I agree, I also have a child of my own, and am curious about our blood relatives. If anyone from my family sees this, I’m sorry, I love you, but I wonder.
