995. Dgarrett1984 : Haven't found my birth parents‚ and I don't even know if I have siblings. I'm just curious and would love to know to begin some personal research
996. MaryLouiseHill : my mom may have been born as Mary Louise Hill. Her brother may have been born as David Edwin Hill. Their biological father was said to have been David Edwin or Edward Hill with ties to New York‚ but research also links him to Alexandria‚ Va and the District of Columbia. Their biological mother (Mary aka Punch) is said to have died in May 1948.
997. KristenDRussell : My father was a Marine (Bruce George Russell) stationed in Washington DC (from Detroit) when he met my mother (from WV originally). They actually met and slept together in February or March 1965‚ got married in May 1965 and had me in December 1965‚ so it was prior to that. He told me later that he was seeing a woman before my mother who said she was carrying his child and he heard later that she had a boy. He did not believe her‚ doesn't remember her name‚ and never spoke to her again. He later told me that she was probably telling the truth‚ but he didn't want to believe it and he was young and smart. So‚ I am looking for a possible brother in the Washington DC area‚ or anywhere really. I was born 12/25/1965‚ so it was before that‚ most likely born in 1964 or 1965. I guess DNA is going to be the only way I find him‚ if he exists.
998. Nickiew : Hospital- Greater Southeast in Washington‚ DC
He was born at home and taken to the hospital the next day.
His biological mother name is Wanda Wright.
We named him Kevin Miguel Wright at birth not sure if his name was changed.
Wanda Wright lost all her rights to Kevin
1000. LenaBush3209 : Hello‚
My name is Lena Bush. I was adopted from Catholic Charities when I was 3 months old. My birth mother named me Valerie at PG County hospital‚ where she might have given birth.
1002. Sheeda1015 : His name was changed. All I know is his first name. Which is Daniel. I don’t know his age or birthdate. Our mother name is Deshawn Woodberry‚ she is now Married which has changed to Deshawn Stewart. He should be in his 20s. He is originally from Washington DC but I think his adoption mother moved him to another state. I have very little information on him. I remember my mother telling me that he is a Taurus zodiac sign.
1004. Marys1LostLamb : Looking for a female born in Aug 1964 in Kansas.
I thought of you every day. I hope I find you soon. I’m in my 80’s and would love to hug you at least once in my lifetime. They wouldn’t allow me to see or hold you after you were born.
I hope you were adopted by parents that loved you as much as I do and gave you a good life.
1005. Gaddiefam70 : I’m doing this research for my mom. An obituary in the Washington DC Evening Star dtd May 10‚ 1947 says my mom who was listed as Mary Louise Hill was the loving daughter of Mary Royal who died May 8‚ 1948. My mom said she can recall her biological father David Edwin/Edward Hill used to call her adoptive parents (Gilbert and Bertha Royal) house every week. I asked mom if she can recall when those calls stopped. She said sometime when she was maybe 15 or so. So this would have been approximately the mid 1960s. A cousin in her 90s said Mary Royal and David Hill weren’t married‚ and other fam said Mary “Punch” followed David from somewhere. A recent DNA match has linked my mom to a grand or great grandson of David Hill‚ but I can’t figure out if it’s David Hill born 1911 or his father David Hill born @ 1888 to 1895. My mom would love to know and meet and living biological family she has. Mom’s adoptive parents died when mom was 40 and her only brother also adopted died when mom was 47. I would love to help my mom connect with her family as she is now 78 years old. Thank you. Charlene
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.

I have found my daughter! I got on adopted.com on Friday about 8pm. I had 6 matches‚ I sent out 3 messages and my daughter Karen was the first one to reply. By 9pm we were emailing each other.
