A Few of Our Members Currently Searching Within District of Columbia Who Chose To Be Featured
976. Nolaughlin : I don't know much about my parents except my mom was very young and lived with my grandfather in a motel‚ she tried to keep me for one year but my grandfather got sick and she had to give me up. I have a unique birthmark on my left arm . I don't have any baby pictures. So hopefully the picture I have will help in anyway
978. Muellerg : I was born in General Hospital in Washington D.C. in 1977. I was named Anthony Miller at birth. I believe that my paternal father’s name is Clark Miller and my birth mother’s name is Karen Welsh. Shortly after I was born‚ about a year and 6 days‚ my Blood brother was also born from the same mother Karen Welsh and same father Clark Miller. He was born on February 22‚ 1978 in Fairfax‚ Virginia. My current adoptive parents took us both so we could grow up together.
979. Ggranowitz : I was born in Washington‚ DC in 1957 at the Columbia Hospital for Women‚ which closed in 2002. I believe I was adopted in a private agreement‚ since my father was an OB/Gyn at that hospital (Dr. James Frawley). I have had a wonderful life but would like to know about my birth parents and/or family. I was told that my mother was from the UK (England or British Isles) and father was Canadian. I'm not sure if this is correct information‚ though. Thank you.

Baby boy was born at DC General Hospital in District of Columbia and adoption done immediately‚ the year waiting period waived.

Adopting parents were Ralph C. Patterson and Judith Deane Patterson of Silver Springs Maryland.
989. Nastushe4ka : My name is Anastasia Yakovleva‚ born July 22‚ 2001‚ living in Saint Petersburg‚ Russia. I am registering to search for my biological sister.
Her name is Victoria Yakovleva‚ born November 21‚ 2004. According to the records I have‚ she was in Psychoneurological Orphanage No. 6 in Saint Petersburg‚ Russia‚ in 2006‚ and she left the institution on March 12‚ 2009‚ with a note indicating that she was adopted in the United States.
Her adoptive parents‚ according to my information‚ are U.S. citizens and possibly medical professionals (cardiologists). Unfortunately‚ I do not know the state where she was adopted or her current location.
Our parents:
Mother — Anastasia Yakovleva‚ born August 16‚ 1975‚ deceased January 4‚ 2005
Father — Dmitry Borisovich Tupitsyn (Nikolaev)‚ born July 26‚ 1974‚ deceased September 28‚ 2012
I am her only living biological sibling and can provide documents confirming our relationship if required. My goal is to legally and safely locate my sister and‚ if possible‚ establish contact with her adoptive parents‚ so they may voluntarily share information about her well-being or allow communication with me.
I am not requesting any confidential medical information or private details without the consent of the adoptive parents. I only seek guidance and assistance in connecting with her through legal and ethical channels.
Any help‚ advice‚ or recommendations you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much for your attention.
Sincerely‚
Anastasia Yakovleva
