A Few of Our Members Currently Searching Within District of Columbia Who Chose To Be Featured
676. Lesel77 : I gave birth to a son in Walter Reed Hospital. I put him up for adoption through Lutheran Social Services. I had just gotten out of the Air Force and my parents said they wouldn’t have a baby raised in there home. I tried to rent an apartment with my brother but our application was turned down.
677. Ginamarie92 : I am searching for my 2 brothers that my mom had given up for adoption. I was at least 1 when it happened. I have little information, except that they were supposedly given to a white family. And they were both given together. But I don’t know how true that is. I’m 28, and they are at least 27 and 26. They were given up for adoption in Washington DC.
678. Snroberts30 : Looking for our little brother. Our birth mother is Tine Roberts and there are 2 older brothers (Eddie Roberts - 1st born & Damonta Roberts 2nd born) and then me (Sharday Roberts - 3rd born). At the time of birth his name was Caron Nelson Roberts (Not sure if the first name is spelled correct) not sure what his name has been changed to since he has been adopted. He was born in Washington, DC at Howard University hospital. I am unsure the exact date of birth but from what I was told he was born in July around the 26. The agency was with DC Child and Family Service I think but unsure. Hoping to reunite with him.
679. Snroberts30 : My name is Tine Roberts and looking for my youngest child/my son. He was born here in Washington, DC at Howard University Hospital and the name I gave him was Caron Nelson Roberts. He is African American. I am unsure what exact year he was born but it should be around 1993-1995 in the month of July. The adopting agency was at the time was DC Child and Family Services. I am trying to reunite him with us and my other 3 children.
680. Ameliahall : I am looking for biological brother who was born in TN. Most likely born around July 4th 1988. Name at birth might be Sam or Sammie. Name may have changed during adoption. I believe adoption was closed and possibly birth mother flew to Washington State or D.C. for the adoption to take place.
I am also an adoptee

She wanted to keep you.
She was living in Florence crittendon(sp?) Home for Unwed Mothers. Baby was born in a hospital in DC. Maybe Georgetown Hosp(?)

Baby girl was born April 17, 1961. And until recently I didn’t know you existed.
683. YvetteP : My maiden surname is Caldwell.I am searching for my birth parents for family medical history information.I was born August 2nd 1957 at the Columbia hospital for Women. From what I know it was a closed adoption as my adopted parents names appear on my birth certificate.
