228. Tdhoffman61 : I am a 57 year old white male that was born on 8/28/1961 in Providence. My birth name was Lawrence Richard Brown but was later changed. My birth mother was Francine J. Brown (now deceased). My birth mother was only 15 when I was born.
I was sent to the Sophia Little Home in Providence and was adopted out several months later.
I am searching for my biological father, who would be around 76 or 77 now, and his family. I believe that father is of Italian decent and was probably living in Providence or Cranston at that time.
229. Kimchris2002 : Mother is Mary Catherine Jackson Adoption thru Catholic Charities possibly. Before 1977. Possibly 1975 or 1976. Girl adopted out. I am her sister searching for her and my own birth father. Mary Isabel Jackson of Bristol Ferry Road was involved. I don’t know her name or birthday,
230. NicoleS85 : My mother was adopted at 6 months from am orphanage. I want to say st Vincent DePaul. This is all we really know for sure. Everything else is fuzzy and not sure of the validity. Adoptive BC says 12/16/1966. She was adopted by my very religious grandmother, who left the convent to marry my grandfather, who was in the service beforehand, and adopt 2 little girls. One, my mom, who’s desperate to find birth family.
231. SMALLEY3SARAH : Baby "boy last name Stanley" born Dec 19, 72’ in Marshalltown,Iowa to Lucinda Prim (Cindy Loseke) DOB Nov 10 it was a closed adoption until u turn 50yrs old . bio mom lives in Bellevue, NE you have a full biological younger brother that lives in Ft.Worth Texas named (Chad Stanley) you were a 2nd child adopted to the family who adopted you. your sister was an adoptee too.
Your biological grandmother passed away in Nov 16, 2018 age 90 Evelyn Rosella (Groves) Prim born July 23 and your biological grandfather Howard Prim passed away November 10, 2012 both buried in Marshall town Iowa (Mitchell town funeral home) your mother is looking for you. Your mom has done a DNA kit through 23and me and through Ancestry.com /profile pic is your full blooded brother
232. 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.
234. Kedari : I am attempting to find a relative of my wife, this is very important to her. The relative was Cherokee Indian and was adopted at birth. We know nothing more than her name at time of death which is Opal Miller-Neighbors. Any info is very appreciated.
235. RitaAnn : Born St. Joseph Hospital in Providence‚ RI.
Adopted through Catholic Social Services.
Possibly adopted by family in Massachusetts.
My intent is to make it as easy as possible for her to find me if she wants to.
236. Sshowers89 : I am searching for my step-mothers birth parents or family. She was born June 8th 1955 in Waterloo Iowa. She was adopted by Wilbur and May Olson. Please contact me if this sounds familiar.
237. WhitneyFamily : Searching for a sister born in Dyersburg, TN to single mother. Mothers maiden name, Whitney. My sibling was born between 1962 and 1965.
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.
