A Few of Our Members Currently Searching Within Kentucky Who Chose To Be Featured
1801. Jessica927 : I'm looking for my cousin‚ who was adopted at birth. I don't have much info except that it was through a Catholic maternity home. My best guess of the year is between 1964 and 1968‚ but that could be off by a few years. The last name is Speelman‚ and the family was living in NJ at the time‚ but there is a good chance she was sent out of state.
1804. Nevaehmama2014 : I am looking for my daughter Nevaeh Marie Bennett was her birth name her date of birth is june 4‚ 2014‚ she was adopted in Louisville Kentucky 2016
1805. Nikkib2202 : She was born Merlin Ballard to Henrietta Sauer and Edward G Ballard and was adopted to John and Marie Horn in Newport‚ Ky. They changed her name to Marilyn Horn
1806. Michelledt : I am searching for the family of my mother she was born in Lexington‚ KY on 04/11/1949. She then came to Robards‚ KY with my grandparents‚ her adoptive parents‚ where she was raised. She attended schools in Henderson‚ KY.
1810. Nrichards : My grandmother Nancy Murpy Born 1947‚ grew up in Sharpsville Indiana. Between 1964 and 1966 she moved to Hardin Kentucky and gave birth to my biological mother Michelle on Dec. 4th 1966. I was told that Leonard Rouse was my grandfather however Nancy did not merry Leonard untill 1977. I am just wondering if anyone remembers Nancy Ann Murphy and possabily who fathered her daughter Michelle.
My DNA test has confirmed I am related to:
Ressie Ann Carman
Birth: 7 Oct 1912 • Hardinsburg‚ Breckinridge‚ Kentucky‚ USA
Death: 29 Nov 1991 • Bullitt County‚ Kentucky‚ USA
and
Albert Lee Underwood
Birth: 4 June 1918 • Bullitt County‚ Kentucky‚ United States of America
Death: 7 May 1948 • Lebanon‚ Marion County‚ Kentucky‚ United States of America
But I still am not sure who my grandfather is or was. I really just want to know where I come from. 41 years of lies from my birth mothers family is long enough.
1811. TiffanyFoxx : I am looking for my biological son‚ Maliq Nicolas Hernandez‚ born March 18‚ 2009‚ in Edgewood‚ KY‚ shortly after midnight. He was taken from me in Kenton County‚ Kentucky‚ in March 2013‚ just one week before his 4th birthday. He is currently 17 years old. My parental rights were terminated without me being given a fair chance to fight for him. At the time of his removal‚ the specific CPS building involved was reportedly undergoing an investigation of some kind. For the first few years of his life‚ his doctors were at HealthPoint on Dixie Highway. My name is Tiffany Morgan‚ and I have spent the last 13 years searching for him. He has a brother who misses him dearly. I want him to know he was never forgotten and was always wanted.
1812. MeadeCountyCountry : A few years ago a woman reached out to me on Facebook said that she was my mother that's why I'm trying to find out if I was adopted or not.
1813. Netwerk : My name is Netwerk. I'm from Kentucky trying to find my three boyz who were Shanghaied from me by the state. I love and miss them dearly and want them to know‚ this was not supposed to happen no matter what they may have been told. I will never stop searching for Jimmar Lee Howard‚ Jimmy Lee Howard Jr and Jimmell Tyrone Lee Howard born 5-11-11‚ 2-2-13 and 7-2-14. Please find me and I rest of your siblings.
1814. Jessgal511 : Sandra is now 19 years old and I am her biological Mother Jessica Sargent... looking for her or her brother Dylan who is 17. I have an open adoption and should be able to speak to‚ video chat or see even.
The family that has them are located in Kentucky while I am in California but they were adopted out of Oregon and were removed from my care in Oregon.
I just want to talk to her and find out if she wants me in her life without my biological Mother Sharon trying to control the whole relationship with them.
1815. Opalshepherd63 : Brianna Marie Mullins is my granddaughter that I have never stopped looking for since state took her parents rights away. My name is opal shepherd I do have Facebook. This is my one wish before i die is to find her and let her know how much I love and miss her she will be 17 in Dec and I’m praying she is looking for me too
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.
