Hello! I am creating this profile to search for my nephew who was adopted, in case he would like to make contact, learn about his bio family, medical background, etc, the door is open. Everything I know about the child was told to me by his uncle, my husband Ben Kaufman. Ben was only about 12-13 when the baby was born, and does not remember all the specific details such as the exact birth date. The father of the baby was Christopher James Kaufman, the eldest of two sons of Larry Kaufman and Nina Ellis. The mother was a Mormon girl named Leia Elizabeth Zander, the second of four children, and only daughter of Henry Zander and Lorene Boyce. Chris and Leia met at school in Olympia, WA. The baby was born in or around the year 2000, probably in Olympia, when Chris and Leia were about 15 years old. Ben believes the baby was a boy named Gabriel, and was given up for adoption at birth. I do not know the adoption agency, the adoptive parents’ names, or if the child was renamed upon adoption. As far as I know, the bio parents have had no contact with the child since then. The adoptee would be about 20 years old now. If the profile described here sounds like you and you’re interested in connecting, please don’t hesitate to reach out. If you’ve done DNA, we can check for a match with Ben (he would be the uncle). Ben and I would never insist upon a presence in your life, but we’re here if you want to talk and learn more.
