2117. Imabird1820 : My name is Sarah Katharyn Barnard‚ I’m hoping to maybe see some pictures of my baby that I gave up as a newborn.. I don’t want to make his life messy‚ I just want to know that he’s okay. I gave him up as a newborn and never saw him again after they took him to the Nicu after the ambulance ride. I didnt know i was pregnant and had him at my home. I was afraid if I went to see him at the hospital‚ I wouldn’t be able to do the right thing and surrender my rights.. I was a drug addict.. I wanted the best for him‚ and i knew i’m not anywhere close to the best. He was born in East Ridge‚ TN. As of July 2025‚ he’s almost 3. He was adopted around his first birthday‚ so probably July 2023. Again‚ I don’t want to intrude on his life or anything like that.. I’m clean now but I have accepted that I’m just his birth mother and not actually his parent. just think about him all the time and would really like to know how he is. His birth name was William Stokes Barnard.
If you don’t want to contact me but want to know about where he came from.. I do have an account on ancestory.com..

2128. TiffanyPorter : Searching for records on my grandfather. He was born in Memphis‚ TN on March 6‚ 1932 then adopted in 1932 or 1933 in either TN‚ MS or AR. He died in a car accident on June 28‚ 1962 in Starkville‚ MS. My mother has tried to find records for years and is always hit with roadblocks. Today I talked to some in Vital Records in Memphis‚ TN and she told me that his birth certificate is there in records but in "hold" status. She did ask for his adopted parents' names and replied those are not the names on the TN birth certificate. She also stated she has never seen an old record like this in the "hold" status. She gave me the number to the main office in Nashville and I'm waiting for a call back from the manager there. My mother has breast cancer and this something she has wanted for years.
2129. TeresaBennett : I want you to know that i didn't give you up not loving you. I did it hoping for a better life than the one i was able to provide. I've loved you every day of my life and theres not a day that goes by that i dont think about you and wish that i could hold you and get to know you. Your mother Teresa Ann Bennett
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.

I have found my daughter! I got on adopted.com on Friday about 8pm. I had 6 matches‚ I sent out 3 messages and my daughter Karen was the first one to reply. By 9pm we were emailing each other. She looks just like me. I can't believe this has happened. Thank you adopted.com for this successful reunion!
