The birth mother was born in 1942 I was born in 1957 and the adopted child sometime in 1961 (to the best of our knowledge). As a child‚ I had brown hair‚ brown eyes. Mother had brown hair‚ blue eyes. Please note: I never knew about this sibling until recently. Would be great to know what happened with him and praying his life was good. Birth mother would have been about 19 at the time.
