572. Jessica927 : I'm looking for my cousin‚ who was adopted at birth. I don't have much info except that it was through a Catholic maternity home. My best guess of the year is between 1964 and 1968‚ but that could be off by a few years. The last name is Speelman‚ and the family was living in NJ at the time‚ but there is a good chance she was sent out of state.
575. Dwig64 : The adoption was through catholic social services in providence RI. The hospital was Kent county memorial. My last name at that time was Hanley. I was nineteen at the time not able to raise a child. My adopted son does have a full blooded brother and sister.
576. Cppollick : my birth certificate says 1 next to "how many other children of this mother are now living"‚ but I was always told and brought up as first born. I was born in early 1966‚ and my mom was 22.
If I have an older sibling‚ I'd like to know. Her maiden name was Hanrahan‚ lived in Northwest Connecticut all her life‚ and she passed away in 2020.
577. Pikagirl420 : I have very little to go on. Im not even positive if im related. My dad was dating a girl who was pregnant shortly after they broke up. She had the baby and while baby was still very young before my dad could find out if baby was related to us or not‚ the mom died in a car accident my dad said. Im thinking the baby was younger than me (i was born in 2000) but I dont know for sure. My dad's name is Harold Rick and my name is Tashara Anderson. I have 3 more siblings who i have gotten in contact with already. This is the only one that we haven't found yet
