Child/Self Roslyn Louise Shinko-Barr 7/7/45
Raymond was in the military in 1944‚ a new high school graduate. From what I saw in very limited information from St. Annes Infant Home via Catholic Charities (who lost my paperwork) in Washington DC‚ he was from a protestant family. According to that limited information he offered to marry Elizabeth‚ she said no. I was placed in St Annes in Washington DC and adopted at 6 months.
I met Elizabeth before she died‚ she was unwilling to share any information or connections.
1025. 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.
1026. Auggy57 : Augustus Broadnax- Birth Name
Birth mother- Celess Broadnax
Birth Father- unknown
Birthplace Homer G Phillips Hospital St Louis Missouri
Born in the summer
1029. 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.
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.
