My mom though that my birth mom went to school with her, but could not remember her name. They may have well lived in the same apt complex. My dad died in 1983 and my mom in 2006. There are a lot of rumors about my adoption. I really hope to find my birth mother.

She was born at Providence Hospital in Washington, D.C.
