1998. Charcharvan : Alexandra‚ all I know about you is a memory of a photo‚ of you and your family - hiking in Colorado I believe‚ and I asked who the photo was of‚ and that's when I was first told of you. I was upset‚ so was (our) brother. So I believe the photos where requested to not come any longer to see you grow.
2000. 11Ozzy34 : I was born in redwing Minnesota and believe I was adopted through an agency in Eau Claire WI as an infant.
I am trying to locate parents and or family members to include siblings.
2001. Jamarafry : I was born in Crookston Minnesota on 11/16/1971. I was adopted through Luthern Social Services in December of 1971. My adoptive parents are Ronald Ordell Ostby and Bonnie Mae Ostby. On the Petition for Adoption I see there it indicates they took custody of me on 12/9/1971‚ Acquired from Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota‚ and there is a DPW-CW number 144567.
There is also an Attorney referenced "John L. Powers".
I see no weight‚ height or hospital on my birth certificate.
2006. Elven777 : My grandmother gave birth to twins. She swears she heard them cry‚ but was told they both died. She never got to hold them or see them‚ nor bury them. She does not remember or want to remember when exactly this took place‚ but she was young‚ 18‚ 19 or 20.
2007. Burpee01 : Dear Nephew‚
You have 2 siblings-one male and one female. One has serious kidney disease and is on dialysis three days a week. Not well at all. Your mother has looked for you but to no avail so I decided to help a bit. We have reason that your adoptive parents lived in Duluth and possibly one parent was an attorney. You were born in Minneapolis at U of M hospital. My sister was unable to care for you and made a very difficult decision. We would all welcome communication with you at any time. There are no pictures of you as a newborn that I’m aware of. There are 5 cousins‚ 2 siblings‚ mother and me-your Aunt. If you don’t feel that you can have a relationship with us please say so and we will stop looking. Your mother hasn’t had an easy life‚ having had 2 abusive husbands - one passed and the other in memory care. Mother is in an assisted living facility. Please consider reaching out to me and I will keep any communication confidential if you desire.
Thank you.
2008. Angielrntz : Im looking for my sister. My mom gave birth to you at Saint Josephs Hospital in St. Paul‚ Minnesota on 11/13/1979. Your name at birth was Christa Jean. You were officially in your adoptive parents care on 12/7/1979 with the help of Rita Stanoch‚ through a division of Catholic Charities of The Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis.
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.

I have found my daughter! I got on adopted.com on Friday about 8pm. I had 6 matches‚ I sent out 3 messages and my daughter Karen was the first one to reply. By 9pm we were emailing each other. She looks just like me. I can't believe this has happened. Thank you adopted.com for this successful reunion!
