317. KIY916 : He was adopted through Barker Foundation in Washington D.C. Knows his mother’s last name (maiden) was Wooten, though we’re unsure of the correct spelling. She ultimately married his biological father. His mother may be from or have lived in Massachusetts at some point in her childhood. Believes his mother had red hair and was a physical education major. His father was in dental school at the time of his birth and later became a dentist.
320. Kelstephe : Looking for Cynthia Fritz. She lived in Maryland in 1967 and I was put up for adoption with Catholic Charities/ Social Services of DC. I found the birth father‚ (unfortunately deceased)‚ so looking for birth mother. Hopefully not too late.

323. Karenjackson2306 : Mothers name is Paulette Hester/Freeman and fathers name is Steven Adams. Could possibly know Mary is is my other grandmother and my mothers mom. Lives in Washington DC. Aunts are Charlene, Ann, and Ramona/shell lots of cousins. I am the first born my name is Karen but I lived with my grandmother Barbara Adams at their time of birth. Looking for twin boys Steven and Stephon but I am not sure what last name you had at birth. I remember seeing you once before never seeing you again.
325. Kimnp : I want my birth mother to know you are my hero. I love and respect you for your courage and sacrifice. I would appreciate getting to know you and any siblings I may have. I would also like to know my health history.
I know I was adopted through Lutheran Inner Mission Society, a precursor to Lutheran Social Services. I received a letter from my birth mother over a decade ago and wrote back, but she did not respond further. I was hoping to contact my siblings. My birth mother was in the Air Force at the time of her pregnancy.
326. Cherjam : For relatives of David Russell Flannigan. He was a truck driver so he’s been around. Any children of David Russell Flannigan please contact me ASAP.
328. Melrie3460 : lost contact with 2 sisters‚ adoption possibly took place in the early 1933’s. some family names we’ve figured out are‚ Condon‚ Duffell‚ Myrick‚ Carter‚ Carr‚ Brunson‚ Johnson‚ Riley‚ Warren‚ Gray. Her mom or sisters name was‚ either Jewell or Ruby‚ not sure which was which.
329. NickolausJames : Currently, I’m trying to find my late mother’s biological family. She was born in Washington, D.C. at General Hospital in 1972. Her official birthdate is September 20th, 1972 but we have reason to believe her actual birthdate could’ve ranged from August to October. She was adopted literally at birth by Clinton W. Stuhlman and Kathleen (Dukas) Stuhlman who lived in Anandale, VA at the time. They divorced and Kathy moved to Staten Island, New York very shortly after the adoption. She was named Kristin Stuhlman by her adoptive family and later Kristin Anzalone.
We literally just found out she was adopted and my late mother, Kristin, didn’t even know she was adopted. We literally have no information other than that the mother was from Virginia in her late teens/early twenties and was a strawberry blonde.
In fact, my grandmother said she may not even know that that Kristin survived the birth since Catholic Charities was involved with dozens of adoption scandals during the late Sixties and early Seventies, where they’d tell the birth mother the baby was stillborn.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. It’s a very bizarre case with few details. But my brother and I would like to find out where my mother comes from and the lineage since she was such a unique personality and starkly different than her adopted family.
330. LeslieGrimet0331 : I have a half sister, we share the same Mom. I believe born at Washington Hospital Center in DC. I believe her adopted name is Lisa. Lisa’s family also adopted another child at some point. Lisa moved from the DC Metro area I believe. She may have been adopted from Montgomery County MD Department of Social Service. I was told my birth Mother’s name is Brenda Ann, but I do not know if this was her true name. I was told the Brenda is from VA, but near TN.
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.
