A Few of Our Members Currently Searching Within District of Columbia Who Chose To Be Featured
1021. Cyndickc1 : I was adopted from St. Anne's Infant Home in Washington DC. Which moved to Hyattsville‚ MD in 1962 but I have been told my adoption took place in Washington DC.
1022. Auggy57 : Augustus Broadnax- Birth Name
Birth mother- Celess Broadnax
Birth Father- unknown
Birthplace Homer G Phillips Hospital St Louis Missouri
Born in the summer
1025. Smitm053 : I would like to find other older brothers and sisters. I was born in 1979 as Maria Theresa Hernandez Menindez (not sure about spelling) I was in an orphanage but don’t know if it was in Santa Ana or San Salvador. My adopted parents are deceased now so I have no way of getting information. I was told that I had about 9 siblings all older than me. It was also my understanding that I had a sister that may have been adopted to a family in either North or South Carolina and possibly 2 brothers into another state.
1028. MartinFmitchell : Born at howard hospital in DC. Adopted a little while after birth‚ Birth mother had another child a year later. My sister was born august 24th 1998.
1029. Katiecole : We have such limited information. My father was adopted in or around the District of Columbia shortly after his birth in 1958. His adopted mother June Rohm who already had a daughter Miriam Silverberg told my father his biological mothers name could be Virginia Moore or Virginia Morris. Most of the information she has told us has been proven untrue. His adopted mother‚ father and sister are all deceased. I have an ancestry DNA and so does my father and since we have such limited information it is impossible to give any relevant information to connect the dots with the potential second cousin and distant matches.
1031. ChrisH301 : Homes for Black Children was a program under the organization of Family & Child Services of Washington.
The organization later became Family
Matters of Greater Washington.
I was born on Jan 13th 1989

Here is the exact information I have from my official Russian adoption records:
My Sister: Valeriya Anatolyevna Lisovskaya. She was born on June 9‚ 2004. My records state she was officially adopted on May 31‚ 2006‚ and moved to the USA.
Our Biological Mother: Alla Olegovna Lisovskaya.
Our Grandmother: Nadezhda Mikhailovna Lisina‚ maiden name Savushkina. She was born in 1959.
