A Few of Our Members Currently Searching Within Oregon Who Chose To Be Featured
826. Dorn-arthur-guin : I am looking for a half brother or sister given up for adoption in the early to mid to late 70’s. Mothers name is possibly Doris A. Barham, Dorn or Guin. Father is possibly John T. Arthur. Parents are from California. Birth place may be in California or Oregon, possibly Washington.
828. Fufhaus502 : I am the child of an Oregon adoptee. Though Oregon’s laws have opened for adoptees they are closed to the children of adoptees. My Mother was born‚ Gene Snow. She was born September 21‚1916 and adopted Nov 4‚ 1916. I am a genealogist and I share it with my family. They have a right to know their roots. We have NOTHING for my Mother and her ancestry. I am hoping that some family or friends of family have some credible memories of this adoption event that took place in Multnomah County‚ Ordgon. DNA testing snows that I and a 2nd great grandchild of William Clay Snow and wife Eleanor (Campbell) Snow of Humboldt County‚ California. I have many DNA matches connected to their nine children. I am now 81 years old and sure would like to fill in my family and meet some family. For my mother’s records to be locked down after 100 years is ridiculous. Oregon law is discussing against family rights. DAR

833. NickiCollins : I am the youngest and only living person in my immediate family that include father Darrell D. Collins and mother Donna A. Lais Collins sister Gale born June 1951 and brother Doug born May 1953. My parents married Jan 7, 1950 in Vancouver, after mother became pregnant. I believe that they went to Eugene, OR area, awaiting the delivery and adoption of our oldest brother born possibly in summer of 1950.
I am searching and hope to find my oldest biological brother. Hoping his life was happy and full of love with his adopted family. I would welcome contact and share his heritage.

834. KTanner138 : I had an Ancestry DNA test done. My older sibling supposedly died shortly after birth in Virginia. I have reason to believe s/he was born healthy, then stolen and sold on the black market in any state. A white baby born April 20, 1978 at Petersburg General Hospital in Virginia, but would be listed as born elsewhere. The hospital records were destroyed in a mysterious fire in the early 1980s. The birthday would have been changed, as would any other identifying information. She was born a girl, though my parents "were not allowed" to see the baby after birth. My mother heard her baby crying healthily from the other side of the curtain after her forced scheduled 8am c-section, 8:20 something was the birth time. It is possible it was really a boy. The doctor informed my parents of the "death" 90 minutes later at 10am. He insisted on never seeing the baby due to the grotesqueness of her. She supposedly had complete anencephaly, missing basically her entire head that never formed. A baby cannot cry without a head to cry from, missing vital structures essential for that bodily function, let alone survive 1.5 hours. There was a closed casket memorial service, nothing more. The death certificate listed time of death in the 3am hour of April 20th, 5 hours before s/he was actually born. The time has also been altered in some way on the certificate.There is no telling what other information was changed, and to what extent. False birth information would have been provided to vital statistics, around the same time the false death information was submitted on April 24, 1978. The baby would have been adopted soon after by a family that thought it was an honest, closed adoption from a young, unwed mother. This would result in false information given to the child later on. In a nutshell, I am looking for a white adult born early-mid 1978 that believes the wrong facts about their biological parents, adopted in anywhere USA. I have no clue as to where to start my search. Our family genes are strong. A boy would look like my grandfather, father, brother, and nephew. A girl would like like my grandmother, mother, daughters, and myself. I only hope to find the truth before it’s too late. My entire family, parents and grandparents, have passed away. My younger brother knows no more than I do. There is simply nobody left to collaborate with. Thank you for listening. Whether you feel this could be yourself or not, I wish you luck in your own search.
836. SheilaFranklin1234 : My son I gave up for adoption he’s half black and white. He was adopted out at birth from Dwyer memorial hospital in Portland Oregon. My name is Sheila Franklin.
837. JJMartin76 : Trying to find adopted daughter of 13 yrs old. Military Veteran at time of adoption. Looking to reunite with adopted parents about daughter. I have SSN# of daughter but no contact information
838. AngelaHouse : My name is Angela Siobahn Collins, orginally Angela Dawn House and I’m looking for my mom, Heather Dawn House and my dad i don’t recall his name.
Mom,
it’s almost been 21 years and I’m finally ready to find you and learn about where I come from. I moved back to Oregon to find you or anything about you. I know one day I will find you, I’ve thought about you everyday when I found out I was adopted and I don’t want you to think I’m angry at you or that I hate you for getting Jonathan, Heather-Nicole and I taken away. I love you and always will because you are my mom and you’re the one who gave me life, and I could never hate you. I just hope you’re who I imagine you are.
XOXO
your loving daughter

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.
