someday we'll know everything about ourselves. finding Tonys "DNA" family is a good Step to that.
1910. Mjones8471 : I was born at the old St Vincent's Hospital in Portland on 11/16/1954. My adoptive parent were Margery and Eugene Jones. The hospital wouldn't let my birth parents pick me up from there because they weren't Catholic. Multnomah County Judge Long oversaw my transfer in his chambers 2 or 3 days after I was born. My birth mother was Canadian and had 4 other older children. I think her name was Sally LaCroix‚ born in 1913‚ and was living in an apartment on SE 15th and Main in Portland because my great aunt who lived next door told my adoptive mother about my birth mother being pregnant with me. I guess it was called a grey market adoption since it didn't go through normal channels. The state of Oregon has limited information but has the transcript of a meeting between my birth mother and a person from the State doing a follow-up report date 2/14/1955. I think that's all I have.
1911. ShaniLian7 : I am not sure‚ but I might have been born at Berhen(sp) Hospital in Glendale‚ California.The adoption took place I believe in Sutherland Oregon or possibly Roseburg‚ Oregon. The woman‚ Grace Francis Couts nee Martin‚ illegally adopted me. I believe I am one of the stolen children.
as I overheard her tell someone that's the reason she left california because she wanted to take me. There were 3 professionally taken photographs of me. It looked like I was able to sit up or maybe I was propped‚ somehow so I'm not exactly sure how old I was. But it was still very young.00 She was turned fifty the year I was born‚ had a physical handicapped from polio when she was young‚ and divorced. When I was in my mid to late teens‚ I tried to find out what I could and I did find that she had sold one of the rentals she had‚ and almost the exact amount of the sale went to a lawyer who drew up the adoption papers. He was running for judge.And after he was elected‚ he signed the adoption by the time I had found out that he had passed away. All her family had A‚ B or AB blood type and I am O-.
1912. Kenzbuck : Born @ St.vincent hospital portland oregon
Ob/gyn name was Dr. Paul Edward Zuelke
It was a closed private adoption with a couple that the wife was a patient of Dr. Zuelke's
The birth mother was a patient of Dr. Zuelke's as well
Born March 21st 1976
I was adopted at birth
The day I was born i was placed in my adopted parents arms.
1915. KatieLoving : My name is Katie Loving. I gave birth to a son on April 18‚ 1987 at 9:31 PM. The hospital where I gave birth was Kaiser Sunnyside Medical Center: 10180 SE Sunnyside Rd Clackamas‚ OR 97015. The original birth certificate names Aif Wyller MD as the attendant at the birth. My address at the time was 35301 SE Hwy 211 Boring‚ OR 97009. The lawyer that handled the adoption was a very caring man. His name is Lawrance L. Paulson on his business cards and letterhead but he goes by Larry. At the time of the adoption He worked at the law firm of Schwabe‚ Williamson & Wyatt: Pacwest Center‚ Suites 1600-1800 1211 SW Fifth Avenue Portland‚ OR 97204. The firm also had an office in Vancouver‚ Washington: PO Box 61445: 515 West Fifteenth Street Vancouver‚ WA 98666. On March 16‚ 1990‚ The adoptive parents sent a picture to me through the lawyer of him taken in May of 1989. They had also sent 3 other pictures in August of 1990. The pictures show a cute boy with a great smile and curly brown hair. That's all of the information I have regarding the statistics surrounding the adoption. I'm not sure what other information would be helpful at this time. I hope my son looks for me. I know things will happen when they are meant to and I keep faith in that.
1918. Justice32 : After adoption I received photos and updating information in form of letters until he was almost a teenager. He was born 12-23-1995 in Salem Oregon. Dr.balmer was my prenantel doctor. Doctor Gilbert and doctor Lacey was his doctor as a baby on center st in Salem Oregon. There was a child welfare case that started as a volunteer case. I believe our good bye visit was when he was 22 months old. His birth name is justice ray jedamiah rush.im birth mother and my name is tishura Marie schlecht. His birth fathers name is Justin Michael powelson or rush for last name. I’ve been married twice since then and divorced so my other last names are riddell and phillips-schlecht. My dad of birth is 06/19/1982.
1919. Binnerbug2 : I completed a DNA test for medical reasons and discovered several people who match with me as cousins. Unfortunately‚ I’m unsure who my biological father may be‚ as it’s believed he may have passed away.
To help piece this information together‚ I am requesting the name of the woman who gave birth to me‚ which should be listed on my adoption paperwork. I understand she may not wish to have contact‚ and I fully respect that. At this time‚ I am only seeking her name so I can better understand my medical and family history.
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.
