331. Jkelly0271 : I was born in Washington, DC on 2-15-1971 and adopted through Catholic Charities on April 1, 1971. I believe that the adoption took place in Washington, DC, but there is a small chance it could have also taken place in Maryland. There is also a chance that I was originally given the name Brian at birth.

336. RCostigan52 : I am helping a dear friend search for his biological family. He was born April 19, 1951 in Washington, D.C. On his birth certificate it lists the mother’s last name as Good.
337. Nieceissearching : I’m searching for my mother’s older brother who was adopted in Washington DC in approximately 1936. We were told he was a blonde haired blue-eyed baby boy born to my grandmother, Mary McCauley, when she was only 16.
If you’re out there, I hope to find you soon! After all you are my uncle...
340. AndreaAimee : I am looking for Patricia Kay Beach, I was born in St Anthony’s Hospital St Petersburg Florida. I was in foster care and adopted I believe in 1973 maybe 72. My birth grandmother’s name is Lillian Beach. She worked for pcas Pinellas County Alcohol Services. I was raised by my birth father Walter J Tidwell and his wife who adopted me. I have met her once in my teens and we were in contact for a while however she lived in Mandeville Louisiana and Hurricane Katrina destroyed the area and I’ve been unable to locate her since. I’d appreciate any information in regards to this thank you
342. NickolausJames : I’m looking for my mother’s birth parents. She was adopted somewhere between 1970 or 1972 from D.C. General Hospital through Catholic Charities. The mother was a fair skinned strawberry blonde woman. The father wasn’t known at the time of birth. The adoptive parents’ last name was Stuhlman. The adoptive mother was a nurse, and the adoptive father was a doctor. They were from New York City and lived in Annandale, VA at the time for less than a year. We have conflicting stories about when my mother was adopted. She was either taken from the birth mother right out of the delivery room or was actually later adopted when she was roughly a year to 14 months old.
Surnames that might be the birthparents may or may not be: Ramsey, Kostelnak, Koscielniak, Janke, Paisley, Wallace, or Carner.
344. Sinisterfinister : Hi, my name is Greg. I was born at Hartford hospital, in March of 1974. I believe the agency was Catholic Charities. It was a closed adoption, so that’s all I know. I’m 44 years old, living in southeastern ct.
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.
