Betty Jean Fisher dob 01/08/1922
adopted by Alfred E. & Kate Fisher of Independence‚ Mo.
My info: Rick Bridgman dob 11/30/1954
Overland Park‚ KS
3494. AmandaOtten : The foundling home in St. Louis‚ Missouri named him Whitcomb Brooks. At 3 years old his name was changed to Walter and he was adopted by Gustave Schuppman who then released him a few years later. I have a copy of that adoption. In 1917 he was adopted by Harry Hellmann (St. Louis‚ Missouri). It's that adoption that I'm trying to find records for.
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.
