2. Athomas130 : Brother looking for older adopted full-blood brother born at Columbia Hospital for Women‚ Washington‚ D.C.‚ in March of 1967. It’s believed the adopting family was from NY (possibly NJ?)‚ and may have named their newly adopted son John (though it was Ivan at birth). The adopting parents may have divorced‚ and the adopting father lived in Baltimore. Grandmother from Texas visited the adopting family 6 months after birth to see her newly adopted grandson.
Our parents went on to marry‚ and eventually had myself‚ and another son‚ who has since passed. Looking to pass on family health history and reconnect if desired. -abt

7. Jamielent09 : I’m looking for a sister. She would be younger than me. I was born in April of 1980. I have found our brother. His name is Corey. He was born in 1976. I am looking for the third child. I was told her fathers name is Frank Aversa and she was named after him‚ so her name would be Francis Aversa. I don’t know how much younger she is. Corey is 46 and I am 42‚ so our sister must be in her late 30’s. I don’t know if she was adopted or not‚ or if her name was changed like Corey and I. My name used to be Donna Toree‚ and his name used to be Robert. If it helps‚ I was born with congenital scoliosis just like our mother.
8. Lynn5022 : I am looking for my birth parents or siblings parents names are Jane Disney Loos and Robert Creighton Loos there was quite of years difference between them.
9. Sspahn : I was adopted through Catholic Charities. Born at a hospital in Washington D. C. I believe the hosptial was St. Elizabeth’s but not sure. I learned I was adopted at a very young age.

We are all very close and close to our parents as well. I was told that my birth mother kept me for some time after my birth, but that she eventually realized it was best to let me go. I was told she named me "Jean". "Jean Marie", I believe.

13. Mdouglas413 : Searching for an adopted sibling. Father would be Hugh "Butch" William Allison Jr‚ u sure of mothers name‚ possibly Jones or Clutts. Was told she had red hair.
14. Nstrong : Born 1944, female. I found out I was adopted from relatives and friends who knew after my parents died. Wisconsin adoption records are sealed. They told me that my record may be in another state. Dr. O’Briens is on my birth record. His daughter was the adoption agent for the county in Mauston, Wisc..
I think My Birth Father came to se me in 1956. My brother and I were sent upstairs right before the man arrived and told NOT TO COME DOWN while the man was there. I started to come downstairs to get my crochet yarn and stoped as I knew I would be in trouble. The only word I heard the man say was ADOPTION.
I thought maybe mom and dad were thinking of adopting a child. The discussion was I could tell upsetting to them after the man left. My adopted father was killed in a car wreck that same year. There was no money from his death. Later HIS mother passed leaving me and my brothers some money. When I got my savings account book as a savings had been set up for my brothers also when she died. Only when I got married and saw my savings book did I notice that my account was started with a large amount $1000 the in the summer before my adopted father was killed in a car wreck and his mother had died after that. Then I looked at my brothers savings and theirs both started after my adopted father’s mother passed. I always wondered why I had all that money more. Then when my adopted mother passed and I was told by my brother that I was adopted did I think about the man who came to our house and I heard him speak the word ADOPTION. I desperately wanted to find out and went to Wisconsin every year starting 1982. Father on my birth record shows Everett S. Sharp, Mother Margaret Casey (which Margaret was never a Casey that was a stepfather when she would have been about 11 which all of her school records showed her last name as Margaret Rodeck. Mary Casey was her mother and my Grandmother.
I was matched with my birth mother just minutes after setting up my profile. It turns out that she had been searching for me for years. It's been a joy to connect with her and the rest of my biological family.
