I was around the age of 6 or 7 when she was adopted. Our mothers name was Margaret and I am unsure of her fathers name. She had very pretty curly blonde hair. I was told that she went to live with a family in Florida. My mother has since passed and let so many unanswered questions.

1853. HaydenMCK : I was adopted by Lori and Steve McKenzie and brought to Alabama not long after I was born. What I do know is that I had a closed adoption. And was adopted out of Jefferson Kentucky.
1854. AshLeeAnn : Hello I am a 48 year old female that was born February 28‚1978 at UK Hospital which is in Lexington‚ Ky at 7:56 am. I had a closed adoption so I don’t know very much about my birth parents. I do know that my birth mother was staying at a home for unwed mothers and my birth father didn’t want anything to do with either one of us. She had a 4 year old son at this time also. She named me LeeAnn when I was born. I think one of their last names was Johnson. This is really all I know. I hope I can find my mother and if not her or my father then at least my sibling. I was at an adopted agency and my adopted parents picked me out and adopted me when I was 5 weeks old and changed my name to Ashleigh Holoch.
