A Few of Our Members Currently Searching Within District of Columbia Who Chose To Be Featured
361. Loraina : He was born in West Virginia, but I don’t know where he was adopted. Adoption Services in Camp Hill PA might have been involved. I just sent in an Ancestry DNA test. Anyone looking should consider taking one or more DNA tests.
365. Rima1997 : I know I was born in Washington D.C. but my birth family might have lived in Baltimore, Maryland. I also know the hospital I was born in doesn’t run anymore. I also know my birth moms name is crystal battle and she may have had other children before me.
366. LarrysMom : Looking for Birth Mom or family. Possible Mother’s Last Name Plemmons or Plummer from North Carolina. Born at Sibley Memorial in Washington DC‚ January 2‚ 1958‚ weighing over 10 lbs. (Sorry Birth Mom!) Suppose to have multiple brothers and sister by Mom‚ not by Dad?
367. Orlando1975 : Lost mother and father dont even know if I have any sisters all I know is my mom’s name was sharon Smith she gave me up to foster care when I was a baby
370. DavidDimeler : I am searching for a sibling. My mother gave birth to her in Washington DC or surrounding area. She was born May May 1 1970 And was named Tina Marie Swearingen.
My mother’s name was Margaret Ann Swearingen and later married as Margaret Ann Dimeler. born 10/17/1950
I do not know the fathers name.
My mother is in hospice and will not survive long. I am desperate to find my sister before she passes away.
Thank you. David Dimeler
371. Member335498 : I’m looking for a half sister who was likely born in the DC area or Virginia sometime between 1951 and 1953, but my best guess is 1952. My mother was working in DC at the time and living in Alexandria, and she was about 21 when she gave birth. Her maiden name was Larson. She was of Scandinavian descent (light brown hair, hazel eyes). I know nothing about the father - he may have been in the Navy. I have no other information, but I am a member of both 23andMe and Ancestry. If you suspect you may be my sister, please take a genetics test with one of those companies!
372. Wimbush007 : Dale L Button Attorney at Law was involved with my adoption and the final decree of adoption was signed on November 21, 1967 by the District of Columbia Court of General Sessions - Domestic Relations Branch.
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.
