My sister was born in Louisville, Kentucky on April 3, 1987. I would absolutely love more than anything, to be able to meet her. My mother named her Heather, however, her name was more than likely changed. It was a closed adoption, as my mother was unaware of open adoptions, since it was a new thing back then.

She was born in Bellevue Kentucky. My father said her birth mother’s family was catholic, which leads us to believe that the adoption to have a tie with that.
