1696. Jeffbashor : I WAS BORN APRIL 12, 1970 IN LAMAR MISSOURI. MY BIRTH CERTIFICATE LISTS MY NAME AS "BABY AMENDE". THE PEOPLE WHO ADOPTED ME ARE NAMED JOE AND SHELBY BASHOR. THE ADOPTION WAS SHORTLY AFTER BIRTH AND WAS HANDLED THROUGH THE NEWTON COUNTY COURTS IN NEOSHO MISSOURI.
1697. DreamerJen : I gave up a beautiful little girl at her birth and I have regretted it ever since. I wrote letters and Catholic Charities said they put them in her file‚ but I don't know if she ever saw them. I would love to meet her‚ not to be her mother‚ she has one of those. I just want to be her friend. And my children I had since then would love to meet her too.
1698. Jimirvin123 : Looking for my Grandmas birth parents. Betty Jean Buehler was born 7/14/1925. she was adopted by Harry A Buehler and Mildred Leona Buehler (Gehrs)
1700. Bigmama69 : hi my name is Marie Esslinger and I just found out I have a Brother that was given up for adoption by my mom before I was born , I was born in 1969 but this Brother would not be my full blooded brother I was told my mother was raped, I was just told about my brother tonight ( 09/07/19) I did not know I had another brother, My mothers name at the time would have been either Ilga Boghart or Ilga Luellen or Ellen Boghart she went by these names, she has since passed away in August .10,2011 I am hoping to find my Brother and see if he is ok and how his life has been .. and let him know he does have 2 sisters and another brother.I live in Missouri I don’t know if he has ever tried to find her her or not but here is her birthday 06/13/1927 or 28 if he wants to ever contact me I am willing to talk to him once I know for sure who he is. thank you. Im not sure on his birthday.because no one knows about him.
1703. Matt56 : I was born Feb 10, 1956 in St Louis, MO. I just received a copy of my original birth certificate from the state of Missouri. My birth mother’s name is Elizabeth Day. My name on my birth certificate was Larry Wayne Day. My mother was born in Springfield, and lived in Marshfield in 1956. My adoptive parents were Wesley and Helen Smith from Jefferson City. I am hoping to learn more about my genealogical family history. Thank you.
1704. Vnb2011 : I’m looking to find my great-grandmother’s biological parents. She was born Agnes Haus to a woman named Martha J Haus in 1902. She was adopted by John and Emily Wideman in 1908 who lived in Jefferson county. I realize it’s a long shot to find anyone who would information or know anything going that far back, but I would really like to know who my real great-great-grandparents are.
1705. JudyJohnson : My name is Judy Kathleen (Kemp) Johnson and I would like to make contact with my son who was put up for adoption by my mother (W. Kathleen Parkman Kemp, deceased) because I was only 17 at the time of his birth. I am not looking for anything specific in the contact, just to know he is okay and hopefully meet him.
He was born (breech, but natural birth, I received a few stitches) on 03/02/1971 at 11:39 a.m. in Saint Francois County Missouri in the town of Farmington at New Community Hospital. He had nice thick (for a baby) dark hair and he appeared to have dark eyes, but my eyes are hazel and his biological father’s eyes were blue. The Doctor at the time was Dr. Armantrout and he is now deceased, but I believe his son is also a practicing doctor in the area. My son was in an incubator for three weeks and was released to his adoptive parents in the end of March 1971. I learned of the medical situation from a hospital bill that was sent to my mother’s home on B Hwy in Hillsboro, Missouri in spring (before April 15th when I moved out of her home) of 1971.
I wanted him named Scott Michael Kemp because his biological father’s name was Michael, but the hospital only listed him as Baby Boy Kemp. I am sure his adoptive family provided him a new name. The local DFS/FSD (Division of Family Services/Family Support Division) office sent workers to the hospital to assume custody of my son after my mother forced me to sign papers to put him up for adoption. I believe the adoption agency was located in Farmington.
Any help you can provide in locating my son would be much appreciated. Thank you.
Sincerely,
- Judy

My mother was not married. I have green eyes and have always had a weight problem. I am left handed and have a dimple on my chin which my oldest son has also. My right knee was turned in some which caused me to look pidgeon toed. I am an 18 year breast cancer survivor. My children look mostly like me. I sing but don’t have a penchant for musical instruments because my fingers are a bit short. I cannot reach an octave with my hands hon the piano. I have worn glasses since the age of 8. I would really like to contact some family just to talk, compare notes. It would be nice to have a history.
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.
