A Few of Our Members Currently Searching Within South Dakota Who Chose To Be Featured
166. RonaldG : Just curious about my biological parents. Had great adopted parents, so problem there. Don’t know much of anything other than a unconfirmable rumor that my mother’s mother may have made her give me up. O, and I think I was given up at birth and someone, possibly the orphanage, named me Shawn. Not sure of spelling because if was changed to avoid confusion with another baby Shawn at church.
167. ATW228292 : I am looking for my birth father, Frank L McCoy. To my knowledge, he and my birth mom, Susan Barone had a relationship during 1978 (in north central South Dakota area). He is maybe from around Rapid City, SD area and was around 20 when I was born.
168. AmyHassler : I was born in Gettysburg, SD on August 14th, 1986. My biological mother’s last name is Sutera. I have been in contact with her but she was unsure of who my biological father is.
