A Few of Our Members Currently Searching Within Minnesota Who Chose To Be Featured
1156. NathanHawkins : My name is Nathan Hawkins, I was adopted by Steve and Phyllis Hawkins shortly after my birth in Minneapolis in December 1976. I know my biological mother’s name is Theresa I have met her and we have a complicated relationship. She told me my biological father’s name is Robert Fisher, I am not certain this is the truth.
I am curious about him, and any potential biological siblings. I am not seeking anything other than knowledge and potentially a cordial relationship as I have a great adoptive family.
1157. Don1968 : From what I know, I was born in Minneapolis and adopted within a couple of months after birth. I believe my mother was 19 and my father was 18 at the time of my birth. From the medical records that I could get, either it was my birth mother’s aunt or my aunt who died from brain cancer.
1162. AlonzoFoster : William Carroll was born probably 1888, maybe in Ireland. Fern Combs was born probably 1905. The adoption agency indicated he was a "shoe laster" working in St Paul, MN. They were not married. They lived on a houseboat by Harriet Island, St Paul, MN in 1923 when my dad was born.
Fern worked at the St Paul Goodwill store which was managed by the couple who adopted Harry. Harry was named Jack Carlyle by Alonzo and Irene Carlyle.
I am looking for any relative of either William or Fern.
1163. Marcycrane : I am looking for more information regarding my fathers adoption. He was adopted out of the childrens home society as an infant. His adoptive parents were very private people so we really have no info.
1164. Darnelle : I am searching for my Birth Parents to find out Health information. I have two children of my own and want to provide them with facts.
I was born on 06-23-1970 at Methodist Hospital in St Louis Park MN, unsure of the time of day. Apparently this was a closed adoption and I I really know is that my birth mother and father were not married and they were college students.
I’ve attached a picture of how I look now.
1165. AdoptedKaitlynM : Hi there!
My name is Kaitlyn Melk-Mccrary my birth name was Kaitlyn Woody. I have found my birth mother and birth father. I was also adopted with two half blood siblings.
(Kids are all 2 years apart I believe)
Birth mother: Katrina Woody
Birth father: Douglas pousch (not A father to anyone else)
Oldest birth sister: Kassandra (Kassi) Duran Ronco
Oldest Brother: I only know his first name, Christopher? The one I am trying to find
Second oldest sister: Amanda Melk-Mccrary (half-blood, sane mom, was adopted with (22/23 years old?)
Then there’s me: Kaitlyn Melk Mccrary (20 years old)
Bryce melk Mccrary (17) autistic (half blood, same mom)
Then lastly, Ashleigh, who I believe is 14 who I also would like to get in contact with!
I was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin I think
I was adopted by my two Gay mothers (I have no idea if that matters at all)
As far as I know Kassi was in foster care for a long time, I was in it for less than a year (adopted at age 1)
Amanda was adopted at 3
Bryce as a baby
I’d love to meet you all! 😅❤️

1167. LindaErnster : Born at St. Joseph’s Hospital in St. Paul, Minnesota. Birth father’s name is William Arthur Seeger.
Adoption was arranged through Catholic Charities.
You have always been wanted. I pray you are well and happy and have a full life. I have 2 other children, both young men, ages 27 and 20 now.
1169. 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.
