44. Jendav812 : The adoption took place in the early 1980s while my cousin‚ the birth mother‚ was a white American named Roberta "Bobby" Lee Waldon‚ was stationed in the Army in Germany in the motor pool. The father was a black man named Jesse. He was a sergeant in her barracks. It is possible this took place in Dusseldorf or Wiesbaden.
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.
