He was told that his mother was 16 at the time of his birth. His mother told him that she is almost positive that his birth mothers name is Lisa Simpson.

2186. Tw96colo1 : Hello, thank you for reading this.
I am looking for the birth parents of my birthmother. She was adopted by Ralph & Mabel Hartzell of Joplin, Missouri. Her adoptive name is Sharon Lee Hartzell. Her birthdate is Dec 23, 1941, although that might be her adoption day. Assume she was born in Missouri or the KCMO area as she was an infant at the time of adoption.
She had me in 1965, and I was subsequently adopted.
She died in 1973 at the age of 31.
I have found a 1st cousin to myself from Sharon on Ancestry.com We do not know which of my cousin’s aunts/uncles was the parent of Sharon Lee Hartzell as they are all deceased.
DNA for the 1st cousin/Sharon’s birth family suggests strong ties with Kentucky, Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi and Virginia and North Carolina roots.
Her family of origin names are: Baize, Fugate, Garrison, and Chapman.
My personal email is:
My name is Beth. Thank you!
2187. Jadanfleming : On the search for my little sister who was adopted in 2006‚ due to my mom’s traumatic brain injury. Born 10/19/2005.
Last i remember possibly in arkansas area or around the 417.
I believe her name was changed either Johanna/ Hanna Marie.
I’ve always wanted a sister and can’t wait to meet her soon enough.
2188. Fullcircle77 : We just discovered that our Grandmother, Bertha Marie Miller, gave birth to a girl when she was 17 years old. She was sent to the Fairmount Maternity Home in Kansas City, MO to give birth. We believe the baby was adopted there in Kansas City. The baby was originally named “ Millicent Miller”. She was born on 9/3/1915. The birth father’s name was Leo Higgins. He was age 18 in 1915.
The attending physician was named Dr. Albert Koch.
Please reach out if this may be your relative?
2189. Grammybear70 : I was born at Ringgold county hospital in Mount Ayr Iowa because apparently my Birth mother lived in Grant city Missouri and that was the closest hospital for her to go to and from what my adoptive grandmother told me I had two older siblings
2190. Eldonpainter : My mother gave birth to a child on June 19 1949 in Kansas City Missouri. She named him William J. Spencer, I think. He was given up for adoption that year some time. My mother got married a few years later and had 6 children of whom I am one of them. My mother died in 1970 so all information is from my Aunt.
I recently received a notification from a man born in 1970 and also was adopted but shows I am his uncle. I believe his father was my mother’s child. The resemblance was almost exact. I also received a new notification from this child’s sister that he passed away last December. So no more information from this guys family. Help me find William J Spencer please
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.
