My name is Deanna Elizabeth Shealy Fipps. I was born in Savannah, Georgia on March 8, 1978. My mother was young - 16 to 18 years old - and tried to keep me for three months. She realized she wanted a better life for me, and contacted a friend of hers to see if she knew of anyone that wanted to adopt a baby girl. Through friends she contacted my adoptive parents in May of 1978, and three days later she boarded a bus to Myrtle Beach, SC to bring me to them. Apparently she was with a male companion that was not my biological father. She told my adoptive parents that he was incarcerated at the time of my birth. She also did not want to put his name on the birth certificate because she thought he might try to get money from my adoptive parents. Her name was either Donna Price or Donna Wise, and she had named me Arenee Ann Price or Wise, after her middle name, Renee. She got off the bus in Myrtle Beach, SC and went to my adoptive parents’ attorney, Larry Hyman, to sign the paperwork. She and her friend stayed the night at the Holiday Inn in Myrtle Beach and left the next day in a car my adoptive parents had given her. Any information anyone has would help me so much. Thank you!
