1217. Hborman : My grandmother was adopted in September 1905. Her birth name was Mary Elga White or Elga Mary White. Her adopted name was Mary Cater. Birth was Everett, MA.
1218. Mariaseace : My name is Maria seace madian name is maria preban. My birth mother is Yvette levine My adopted parents was ethel patricia wordios (charlton) and father was william joseph preban
1219. KTanner138 : I had an Ancestry DNA test done. My older sibling supposedly died shortly after birth in Virginia. I have reason to believe s/he was born healthy, then stolen and sold on the black market in any state. A white baby born April 20, 1978 at Petersburg General Hospital in Virginia, but would be listed as born elsewhere. The hospital records were destroyed in a mysterious fire in the early 1980s. The birthday would have been changed, as would any other identifying information. She was born a girl, though my parents "were not allowed" to see the baby after birth. My mother heard her baby crying healthily from the other side of the curtain after her forced scheduled 8am c-section, 8:20 something was the birth time. It is possible it was really a boy. The doctor informed my parents of the "death" 90 minutes later at 10am. He insisted on never seeing the baby due to the grotesqueness of her. She supposedly had complete anencephaly, missing basically her entire head that never formed. A baby cannot cry without a head to cry from, missing vital structures essential for that bodily function, let alone survive 1.5 hours. There was a closed casket memorial service, nothing more. The death certificate listed time of death in the 3am hour of April 20th, 5 hours before s/he was actually born. The time has also been altered in some way on the certificate.There is no telling what other information was changed, and to what extent. False birth information would have been provided to vital statistics, around the same time the false death information was submitted on April 24, 1978. The baby would have been adopted soon after by a family that thought it was an honest, closed adoption from a young, unwed mother. This would result in false information given to the child later on. In a nutshell, I am looking for a white adult born early-mid 1978 that believes the wrong facts about their biological parents, adopted in anywhere USA. I have no clue as to where to start my search. Our family genes are strong. A boy would look like my grandfather, father, brother, and nephew. A girl would like like my grandmother, mother, daughters, and myself. I only hope to find the truth before it’s too late. My entire family, parents and grandparents, have passed away. My younger brother knows no more than I do. There is simply nobody left to collaborate with. Thank you for listening. Whether you feel this could be yourself or not, I wish you luck in your own search.

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.
