1141. JamesWendel : I am a 47 year old male. I was adopted immediately after my birth in Wake County North Carolina. My adoptive parents are Leni and Leroy Hemenway. I am told my birth mother was 14 years old when she gave birth to me. I was born on 7/23/1971. I lived in Cary, North Carolina until I was 10 years old and then we moved to Rochester, MN and I’ve lived here ever since.
1142. JamesWH : I am a 47 year old male. I was adopted immediately after my birth in Wake County North Carolina. My adoptive parents are Leni and Leroy Hemenway. I am told my birth mother was 14 years old when she gave birth to me. I was born on 7/23/1971.

1144. Friendsearch1960 : The mans name is James Kelly Fox. Born to single mother Mary Helen Fox in Buncombe County NC. at Memorial Mission Hospital in Asheville, NC. I am searching for a friend that is looking for her brother that she didn’t know existed until three years ago after the death of her parents. The name may have been changed. The baby was placed for adoption presumably with DSS in Buncombe County NC immediately after birth in February 2nd 1960. He could possibly not even realize he was adopted. Ms. Fox has family in the Prices Creek community of Yancey County NC. Both her and her husband Cecil Fox are deceased.
1149. Ugadawgs : I am a 6’2" white male that was adopted through Children’s Home Society of NC. My birth mother was supposedly very young. I was born on July 23 and adopted by a great family in Greensboro. My birth certificate says Greensboro as place of birth, although I am not sure how accurate that is. Honestly, it is not imperative to me that I meet my biological parents. I am also not against doing so either. I really am making this post in case someone is looking for me.
1151. SantanamcclainMcD : I really just want to find out about myself I want to know who i am and possibly who my real parents may be ... please help the best you can and if you can’t I still appreciate the effort thankyou
1152. Msmautika : My best friend of 26 years was adopted in 1980 or 1981. She believes Patrica Taylor is her birth given name and her birthday is December 26th. She thinks she is from Snow Hill NC and was also born there. The name Wanda or Shantelle Taylor stand out to her and maybe her mother’s name. She entered the system when she was only 3 years old (1976-1977) and was adopted at 9 years old (1980-1981). I have been trying to find her birth mother or father with little information due to a closed adoption. Both adoptive parents have passed and she their only child. If you can help me please do.
1153. Female_umstead : Born at Wake County Hospital at 1P.M. Sunday, June 23, 1974. I was adopted through Raleigh Catholic Social Services. I believe the nun that took care of me for the first week was named Sister Anina. I’ve been told that the lady who took care of me until I was adopted was Margaret Umstead. I don’t know if this is the name of my birth mother, or if it was in fact the Foster mother. I was adopted August 2nd 1974. In Raleigh North Carolina. From Catholic Social Services in Raleigh. I know my birth mother was about 20 are 21 when she had me. My birth father has left the picture when he was informed of my existence. He I believe, was 18 or 19 years old. My mom was five foot one , my dad was five foot six or seven. My birth mother’s parents were willing to help her, she tried to run away temporarily to try to keep me on her own, but came back, and decided to give me up for adoptiont to have two parents.
1154. Chantelllace87 : I’m looking for my half brother! My father Samuel Winch was probably 13-15 when he had him. He was in Jacksonville Northcarolina Northwoods park Junior High is where we believe him and his girlfriend were attending. Around 1978-1980. My dad knew his name to be Michael Swinson! I have one picture of him. I have also done 23&me dna. If you think e may be a match please contact me.
1155. WWW50 : I know that my biological Mother and Father had a child as young teenagers.
