216. Ljsimm00 : Searching for my brother- "Baby Boy Thompson" adopted at birth, Born on January 10, 1948 in Rapid City, SD. at Regional Hospital. Delivered by Dr. J.D. Bailey Sr. Birth Parents were Marian R Thompson, (maiden name Snyder) and Alden F. Thompson. Was handled as a private adoption by a lawyer and possibly assisted by the doctor. Original Birth certificate is in a sealed file at the Office of State Health Planning and Development, Pierre. SD. Have always assumed that the adoption took place in South Dakota. Mom was 91 when she passed away but she always hoped she’d might some day make contact with him. Maybe there’s still time for us siblings....

221. JodiWatsonSagil : We are looking for our half-sister‚ given up for adoption around 1961. Birth mother was a teenager from Grand Island NE. I was born in April 1960 and was adopted by my maternal grandparents at 1 year old‚ Mildred and Clifford Watson from Grand Island NE. Our sister was born approximately 1 year later. We have no details other than that our mother says that she was sent away to live with a family on a farm and the baby girl was put up for adoption. That she was a "big" baby‚ over 8lbs and beautiful. Our mother went on to get married and have 3 more children. 2 more daughters and a son. We would love to find our sister. I've been told that the father could have also a teen from Grand Island that may have attended University of Nebraska in Kearney‚ NE in 1960-1964. Mothers name‚ Cynthia K Watson‚ Grand Island NE. Would have been 19 or 20 at time of our sisters birth.
222. 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.
223. Mamabear_82 : I gave birth to a boy on 9.28.82 at Mary Lanning Memorial Hospital in Hastings‚ NE. The adoption was arranged by attorneys associated with Obstetricians and Gynecologists LLC in Hastings Ne. I was seen by Dr. T.K. Foote and Dr. George Adam. Dr. Adam was the delivering physician. I am assuming the adoption took place in Nebraska‚ but I do not know for sure. His father and I were both Kansas residents and signed papers at the hospital. We were never married.
224. 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.
225. DebZieb123 : Looking for my daughter I given up for adoption she is born in Aberdeen SD in avera hospital I named her Suzan her last name is Vogel my name is Debora Ziebarth when she was born my name I was Debora Vogel I still like in Aberdeen SD it was a catholic adoption agency here in Aberdeen SD I wish I kept in touch with her now that I am getting older I want to fine her and let her know I never stop thinking about her I think she can be 32 or 33 years old I know they probably change her name I hope I fine her thanks
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.
