A Few of Our Members Currently Searching Within Kentucky Who Chose To Be Featured
451. Carvin0126 : He would have been born around Wilmore‚ Ky‚ most likely Lexington‚ Ky. The parents were living in Wilmore and were young in their teens. His birth name was Michael Arvin. I am unsure of the exact birth month and date.
453. Chucksyden1 : I was born on June 9, 1965 in Edmonson County, Kentucky.
I was adopted through Catholic Charities of Owensboro approximately 4-6 weeks later
455. Duceswild02 : I was adopted through a catholic agency out of Louisville, KY. My adoptive parents were catholic. I was born on July 1, 1978 I believe. The date could be about or around depending on if it was changed at the time of my adoption. I was not formally adopted until February of 1979. My adoptive family was from Knox County, KY. I cannot give you any info about my mother or my father, but looking for any family that I might have.
456. BevA72 : I have very recently learned that my mother had an child (a boy) some time around 1946 who was put up for adoption as a toddler. Scuttlebutt is that he MAY have been adopted by a dentist in Indiana sometime after 1951.
To my half-brother: It is a long sad story about WHY Mom left you behind and, unfortunately, I know only small pieces of the story But, as my half-brother, please know our mother was an amazing woman and she loved you very much. She looked for you to reclaim you but finally decided to trust to God that you were with a loving family and that it would be unfair to uproot you. You also have four half-siblings!
My DNA sample has been placed on Ancestry.com and on FamilyTreeDNA.com. If my half-brother ever enters his own DNA sample, it will show up that we are a "close family" match. I can then be contracted via either of those websites. I’m throwing this info out to the universe just in case you’re looking for answers. I’m happy to share what I know.
457. TonyBurgess78 : Brenda Joe Burgess/Howard mother child Sean Joseph Burgess adoption took place in Louisville Kentucky after 1978 Born in Briar General Hospital Florida grandmother Henrietta Webster Dorothy McNaley and John Lewis Hack Sr. Were part of the court case
459. Greenfield1180 : All we know is that his name (my husband, James Edward Greenfield III) was Samuel Franklin at birth and they used to call him Frankie. He was born in kentucky. His birth mom later moved to texas and had another child who would be a year younger than him and he also has an older sister. We have never met any of them and dont know if there are any more siblings.
460. Dlogsdon76 : All I know ...I was adopted from catholic charities my birth records were lost in a fire there and I was about 3 weeks old when I was adopted...My birth name was Shannon Michael Ernst
461. Natasharakel : I’m not sure if I am adopted but with how I’ve been treated growing up. I’ve never felt that connection with my mother. My dads always felt more like a best friend. He turned out two faced himself. My mom wanted to abort me soon as she found out she was pregnant. Luckily my mamaw and aunt talked her out of it. So here I am. Hopefully I am adopted I hate to say. But I just look like neither of my parents. People have said I looked like my aunt my dads sister but who knows.
