He was adopted by Henry Allan Enger‚ also known as Allan Henry. His mother was Marcella Marie Mayer. They lived in North Dakota. My dad was born in what I believe is Grand Forks‚ ND‚ which is where the adoption took place. I believe my dad was around 5 years old when he was adopted by Henry.
My dad had 2 siblings that were adopted the same time he was. One 11 months older than my dad and one a couple years younger than my dad.
My dad never knew who his biological father was‚ But I am hoping to find him. I know I have other family out there and would love to get to know them.

His mother"s‚ my grandmother‚ maiden name was Marcella Marie Mayer. Her married names were Enger‚ Weaver & Frandsen. Henry Allan Enger‚ also known as Allan Henry Enger‚ adopted my dad and my two uncles when my dad was about 5‚ so around 1950. My dad’s birth place is North Dakota and the adoption took place in North Dakota‚ possibly Grand Forks‚ ND.
There have been some that have said the name of my biological grandfather was Joe Benson. I do not know if that is true or not.
As I said‚ I don’t have a lot of information to go on‚ but I am hoping to find some answers here.

445. Pooh0215 : My name is Michelle and I am looking for anyone who knows that their biological fathers name is Phililp (Phil) Ecker. I know he has lived in Florida. So far there are 2 of us that I have been able to find and I have been told that there are more. My father loved women and has been married 6 times if that helps. LOL!
446. Ccdawson210 : My name given at birth was Stephen Sloan. I was born in Fargo at St Luke’s Hospital in Cass County. The adoption agency was called Children’s Village. My uncle is David Gordon and he had some of the information that I’m providing. He was a lawyer at the time. My adopted parents are Nancy and Lyle Dawson from Mandan‚ ND.
447. KaleneMarieK : Our names are Kalene Krebs and Joshua Haugen. We live in Fargo ND. Our baby boy Blair Scott Haugen was taken us by family courts in September 2022 after only 8 short months of fighting for him with Cass County CPS in Fargo ND. He is two years old. Our parental rights were terminated involuntary and we now have no rights whatsoever to our little boy‚ we don’t know who they adopted him out to‚ we don’t get to know anything about his well-being at all. No updates‚ no pictures. Nothing. This kills us and our family- we miss him SO much and we’re at a complete loss‚ the only thing we can do is just hope for a miracle that we happen to see him out and about in the Fargo/Moorhead area one day and that we are able to meet his adoptive parents and start a line of communication. I have faith that it will happen one day. Hope is the only thing I have left to hold on to. If you’re reading this and you happen to know anything about Blair or his adoptive parents‚ I pray that you will let them know we are looking for them and we’d love to talk about open adoption..💙
To Blair. We think about you every second of every day. What we would do to just be able to see your smile one more time.. You are our ray of sunshine. Until we meet again every day is gray. We love you so much‚ forever & always. Mommy & Daddy
