A Few of Our Members Currently Searching Within Tennessee Who Chose To Be Featured
1801. ABfurnsculpt : I’m trying to find my mother’s sister. She was born in 1968 in Indianapolis‚ Indiana. I do not know state the adoption occurred. I do know that the birth mother turned 26 in 1968. The birth father was around 40. All this information has only been revealed by the birth mother in the past year. I have DNA on Adopted‚ Ancestry‚ 23andMe‚ MyHeritage‚ FamilytreeDNA‚ and GEDmatch. We’d really need that to match.

Adoptee: Female DOB 1968 Indianapolis‚ Indiana
Birth mother maiden name: Hodnett

1803. Valter19 : I believe I was part of the Tennessee Children’s home society back in 1948-1950. I hope to find more information that might help me on my search!
1807. Tiger11Stripes : I was adopted at birth in Memphis‚ TN. I was told that my birth parents were college students in Arkansas. I am white‚ tall‚ with blue/green/gray eyes‚ and small facial features (possibly nordic???).
1808. Tjpowell : I was born August 5 1968 in Memphis‚ Tennessee. My adoptive parents brought me home from the hospital when I was 3-days-old. I was told later on that my birth parents were college students in Ohio. My birth mother moved to Memphis and lived with a family member to give birth to me. It was a privately arranged adoption.
My aunt told me that she was the only one to meet my birth mother at the hospital.
Both of my adoptive parents have died and my brother from my birth parents also died this year. I am interested in finding my birth parents and/or any biological siblings
1810. Sallizabeth74 : I was born in Ft Sanders hospital in Knoxville‚ Tennessee on September 21‚ 1974. They used the name of my adopted mother on my birth certificate. She told me she believes my birth parents may have been students at the University of Tennessee at the time‚ but that’s all she knows...
Have since found out that my birth father was Jerry Loposser‚ of Seymour‚ TN. I still do not know who my birth mother was. I have a half-sister‚ Stephanie‚ who is awesome and very informative‚ but is only a few months younger than me and does know who her mother is.... if anyone has any info‚ that would be great that is all i hope to gain from all of this just knowlege of where me & my girls came from‚ that’s all.
1811. AmeraMoore : You were born Khryshaun Anderson-Moore on 10/31/2005‚ you birth mother is Crystal Anderson‚ your birth father is James Moore. Something happened in Nashville‚TN about 2010 or 2011 with your birth mother and you and your two younger siblings Arlen and Bobby were placed in foster care.
1812. AuntAmber2000 : Hi‚ Collin Edward Walton is my nephew. He was born in Maryland between 1999 and 2001. In May. He has mosaics Down syndrome. H gave the best hugs in the world. He loved his Nana and grandpa bob. He has 2 brothers as well. I never got to meet them. I was told one of their names‚ Damion and I know one was born around the same time as one of my kids 2007 or 2008. I’ve been looking for Collin since he turned 18. His mom said we couldn’t try until he’s 18 because he was forcefully taken. His mom (one of my older sisters) Nicole‚ wasn’t nice. My heart breaks from what I’ve been told. I need to tell Collin how much he’s still loved by Aunt Amber Uncle James and Aunt Karrie. I hope you were adopted by an amazing family that could treat you so much better then the life you had in TN. His nana passed away shortly after his adoption. August 04 2011. I hate that you were taken from Maryland from your original family. But I hope the new family gave you EVERYTHING the one you left in TN didn’t give you. I hope you have an amazing life and just want to hear you’re voice. See your beautiful face. Get to meet your brothers and your parents. I love you Collin. You have always been loved so so so much.
