A Few of Our Members Currently Searching Within Nova Scotia Who Chose To Be Featured
286. N0vaSc0tian : James Ross MacIntosh
born in Halifax
at The Grace Maternity Hospital
287. BMarie7 : Seeking to connect with paternal relatives of Nova Scotia closed adoption.
Birth Father’s Information: Adoptees father is unknown, description on adoption records: Sgt. during WWII, likely born 1912 (31 at time of adoption), baptized Catholic & married with 1 adopted child. (Wife is not the birth mother). I believe he would also be of french descent/acadian. DNA matches indicate connections to surnames: Arsenault, Leblanc/White, Poirier/Perry, Theriault, Thibodeau, Leger, Bourque, Hache-Gallant, Goguen, Melanson, Richard, and many more. Seems to have connections with: Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, P.E.I., Massachusetts, Maine, Louisiana. Adoptee was give up so birth mother could return to the army after finding out about the affair.
Adoptee/Birth Mother Information: Donna Macdonald was born in Glace Bay Dec 29, 1943 to B. Macdonald (Out of respect for living relatives, I am not disclosing her first name for general public). Donna was born in St. Joseph Hospital & entered into the adoption institute January 11th, 1944. I believe she remained in the Little Flowers Institute/Orphanage until she was later adopted by Mary A. MacNeil (Morrison), & Hugh MacNeil.
Any help would be so greatly appreciated, if this sounds like someone you may know, please let us know, no judgement or bad feelings are felt about the adoption. Adoptee is getting into her later years & it would be very appreciated to be able to complete her life long search, find out about potential medical issues, discover our ancestry, & meet relatives who would like to connect.
Thank you for any information you may have!!

300. Sweetchickers : I was born on August 24,1963 at the Grace hospital or the old Civiv hospital in Halifax Nova Scotia. I was put up at birth for adoption and was taken home with my new parents when I was about 6 weeks old. My adopted parents names were Ethel Marion Currie ( maiden name) Horsefield and Thomas Frances Horsefield. The adoption was made final
On my first birthday in 1964 I do not know who my birth parents are or any names. My adoption papers were stolen from me but I do remember a name on them that was Joan Culf. I believe that was my pre adopted name but I can’t be sure. There is really nothing more I know about the adoption except that I always knew I was adopted. I have dark hair and blue eyes and I believe it stated somewhere that I favoured my birth father but I cannot be sure. I am sure that I should be able to get another copy of my adoption records from the hall of records and deeds. Other than the fact that I was told or everyone assumed that my birth parents were teenagers and as at those times in the ‘60s adoptions were always closed unless done within the family and that is not my case.
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.
