992. Ljns : I was born in Washington DC at DC General Hospital #283177. I was 3 months premature and stayed there for 3 months before going to catholic charities (6/6/69) My mother’s name: Amelia Hernandez Lopez #279765. She was born in 1931 or 1938. (Info unclear) Address: NW‚ 20009
Father’s name possibly Domingo Cruz
993. Alhagood : I was born in Washington DC and I believe the adoption agency that was used has since burnt down in Washington DC. I was adopted from birth. I grew up in Manassas Va.
994. ChrisScottPatterson : I was adopted at birth in a pre arranged adoption.
Adopting parents were Ralph C. Patterson and Judith Deane Patterson of Silver Springs Maryland.
995. 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
996. BMS_1989 : I was born may 21 1989. Washington hospital center
My name was to be Brent Matthew Schaefer (not sure if spelling of last name is entirely correct)
1001. 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
1002. 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.
1003. 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.
1004. 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
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.
