LMC1988

I am looking for my father’s biological mother and father. He was a male born 09/04/1957 in Memphis, TN possibly at Gaston Hospital (Regional One Health now) by a Dr. M.R. Baird. Adoption was very soon if not at birth in Memphis, TN. I am looking for his birth mother and birth father. The mother was younger and had a family member/friend that worked at Hunter Fan with my grandmother ask if my grandmother wanted to adopt the birth mother’s son. The biological mother had another child- a blonde haired daughter- a few years later and asked if my grandparents wanted to adopt her too, but they declined. There have been whispers that my grandfather fathered my dad with the young woman, but it has never been proven and my grandfather won’t talk about it. I do know that my grandmother and grandfather broke up immediately before my father was born, but got back together after he was born. (Which further supports this theory). My grandmother passed away in 1994 and my dad passed away in 1990, so I am unsure of where else to turn. The state of Tennessee won’t release any records because my father is deceased and can’t consent to releasing records. I have the adopted birth certificate, but don’t know where else to continue searching.
