436. SATXSpring1970 : UPDATE, 05/26/2019: DNA testing completed. My birth father was Thomas Edward Kennedy, a Navy airplane mechanic that was based in San Antonio, Texas in 1969. I am still seeking my birth mother.
- My mother was "allowed to believe" I was adopted into a state other than Texas, but I was born in San Antonio, and adopted into a wonderful family in Corpus Christi, Texas.
- My adoption was managed by Reverend Joseph L. Brown, Rector of The Church of Reconciliation - Episcopal, in San Antonio, Texas.
- Dick Conolly connected my adoptive family with Rev. Brown.
- Richard Bradshaw of the Law Offices of Allison, Maddin, White & Brin, Inc. oversaw the legal paperwork. My adoption was finalized July 24th, 1970 at 2pm.
I am thankful to be alive! I have a wonderful family and career, and a desire to express gratitude to the brave, selfless woman who carried me to term so I could be here. I am curious about my birth father and want him to know that I am alive, well, and enjoying life. My adoptive family was the greatest gift anyone could have given me. I hope I’m not too late in reaching out to you. Please know that you did the right thing in allowing me the chance to live out my life. I pray that you both are well and, regardless of your feelings toward reuniting with me, I understand and wish you all the very best life has to offer.

446. S1965 : I am a male and I was born on March 24, 1965 in Washington, DC. I was placed with my adopted family on April 26, 1965. My adoption was handled by The District of Columbia Court of General Sessions Domestic Relations Branch. I was told that I am of Welsh and English descent.
447. Infinitebrendan : I know very little about the adoption as it was a closed adoption however, I do know that I was born at Walter Reed army Medical center and that my biological mother was young and decided on the adoption late into the pregnancy. I would love to find and reunite with either or both my biological mother and father.
448. Loretaulmer : I am searching for my son who was born on my 20th birthday in 1968. He was born just after midnight at the George Washington University Hospital. I stayed with him at the hospital for a day and then was brought back to the Florence Crittendon Home where I had been staying for the last three months that I was pregnant. He was adopted through the social services agency that was housed within the Crittendon Home. By the time I was able to start searching for him, the Home was sold and I was not able to get in touch with the agency. I do know that he was adopted by a couple who was in the Air Force and that two years later they adopted a little girl. He is now 50 and probably not at all interested in finding his birth mother. But if he has the slightest interest, I would love to connect with him. I have purchased an Ancestry.com DNA kit in the hopes that he may be searching for me as well.
450. Member194429 : From the information my adoptive parents were given, my birth mother was white with blonde hair and blue eyes and around 20 yrs old, my birth father was black and around 24 yrs old. I was born at DC General Hosp and my adoption was handled by Family and Child Services of DC. According to the note that was given to my adoptive parents from my foster mother, my name was Stephanie.
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.
