A Few of Our Members Currently Searching Within Kentucky Who Chose To Be Featured
1096. Rook47 : I’m the cousin of Sarah Emmons (Rook) looking for her birth parents to add to our family tree. She was adopted by Rick and Lori Rook when she was an infant.
1097. Skunner : I was born March 10th, 1970 in a hospital in Jefferson County Kentucky and was adopted 10 days later.
The only information I have is that my birth parents were both minors when I was born. Mom might have been 17 and dad maybe 16.
1098. Helpingdnamatches : I am searching on behalf of an adoptee .Looking for a woman who was adopted and lived in California during her mid 20’s, who then placed a daughter for adoption in January 1979 in California. The child (a daughter) was born in Long Beach. She believes that she was born baby girl Beaumont and that her mother was born in the mid 1950’s. She also believes her father was Navy. Both the adoptee and myself have done DNA testing for this search (we are related as well). I have a couple of families that are DNA related but have been unable to narrow results because of the multiple adoptions.
1099. CrystalReidel : I was born in Louisville, KY on May 17th, 1982. My biological parents were 17 and 18 at the time. I was adopted through Catholic Charities.
1100. Cbram5191 : I am searching for any possible family members of my father who was adopted in Kentucky or West Virginia in 1960. His birth certificate says he was born in Clarksburg West Virginia. But he was raised in Jenkins Kentucky near the Virginia border by his adopted parents. My father passed last year and I didn’t know him unfortunately and I would like to meet my family. My father was a tall man 6’7" I was never able to talk to him about his adoption therefore I have don’t have much info other than the things I inherited photos and such.
1101. Christina_75 : Hello...My name is Christina and I’m searching for my biological daughter. She was born early December 1992 in Madisonville, KY. It was a private adoption. I think the adoptive parents names were Denise and Jimmy Merdoch.
1102. Countrygirl45 : Hi
I’m Jasmine I was born with the name Janna Thornton . But I’m looking for my biogical dad who knows me as samantha .
And I’m looking for everyone that. Is my family. As well .
1107. Ruthannmckay71849 : My birth name was Ruth Ann McKay. My BM was Betty Jane McKay. She gave birth to 6 kids and she kept 3 and gave away 3. Our BM never married and passed away 10 years ago. Last year I began my search on Ancestry and found my oldest sister and she was one that was (kept). She was born 1943 named Georgia and is 77. Next was the first (given away) sometime between 1943 and 1949. I do not know sex, name, or birthdate. This is the one I am searching for. Next was me,Ruth Ann, in 1949 (given away). Then came Joan in 1951(given away). Then Chuck 1968 (kept). Last was Myra Jane and she was (kept). We were all born in Kokomo, Indiana at the same hospital, St. Joseph Memorial and 3 of us were left there after our births. Four of us met
Christmas 1999 and our families. It was fabulous. We are all close and talk weekly, email etc. Then in 2020 during the pandemic I was able to find Joan. What a thrill to locate her. We have not been able to meet yet because of the virus but we all still talk and communicate.We want desperately to find the missing sibling and get us all together before one of us passes away. Hopefully, the one missing is still alive and wants to meet us too. It’s amazing that we all immediately felt love between us. Please contact me if you have any info concerning our missing sibling.
1108. Heather2001 : I was born in Louisville KY, on June 1st 2001. I was taken to UofL hospital where I was given up for adoption. I know my birth mothers first name is Teresa. My bio mom is white and my bio dad is black. I was told he was having an affair with her. I do not know any ages but I do know she had several children before me who also were put up for adoption. She also had a son after me who died at a young age.
1109. Sky2004 : I’m the mother to the adopted child’s half sister and I’m trying to help her locate her half brother. They obviously have the same father.
The adopted boy, Mason, was adopted shortly after his mother gave birth. She didn’t want a reminder of her affair with my husband (ex husband now). She told me she was giving Mason to her cousins whom lived outside of Illinois (where we all live) in a different state. I don’t remember the state she told me tho because that was 12-13 years ago.
I think my daughter deserves to know her one and only step sibling. And she wants to know him, too!
When college time comes along for both of them, I don’t want them to meet and fall in love and end up finding out too late that they are siblings. Mason’s mother, Mandy, shouldn’t want that either.
I think Mandy is afraid that if I find Mason, I will tell him about his real dad and what a narcissist he is and that Mandy doesn’t want her son to ever meet his birth father.
1110. Laura331985 : Born in Madisonville KY to Laura Copeland. Looking for a bit racial child. . I’m. Sorry and I’ve Never stopped loving you
I have missed you. You lived all over I believe but you started on in dixon ky
