235. Mich216 : My grandparents told my dad he was adopted but did not give any information. I am looking for my dad’s birth information for medical history and to see if there is any family out there. My grandparents both immigrated to the USA, my grandfather was from Germany and grandmother from Ukraine. They lived in Chicago for a while and in New Jersey and then finally settled in Phoenix, Arizona.
238. Sunsetsabound : My son David Alexander Langdon was born in Richmond, VA, in the VCU hospital on December 8, 2010. At the time, his father and I were in a relationship. To protect my son from his angry father, I had Children and Youth Services (CYS) pick him up. After over a year of fighting to regain custody of my son, I gave him up for adoption, as I could no longer handle the emotional struggles that went along with attempting to get him back.
My son was with a potential adoptive family, but something went wrong (I don’t know precisely what happened), and so he was removed from the home, and sent back to foster care. And that is when I lost contact with him.
My hope is to reconnect with my little boy. I’m taking a huge risk to my mental health in an effort to find him. Please assist me if you know anything that can help.
I’m 28 now, and I live in Pennsylvania. I am no longer involved with his father.
