A Few of Our Members Currently Searching Within Tennessee Who Chose To Be Featured
2161. Janjan123 : Hello
My mother was born on July 30‚1957 and I know she was adopted at a few months old and her mother was told that her birth mother was a player at Georgia tech basketball at the time of becoming pregnant - never been verified or not.
2162. Mouse2125 : I’m trying to find my bio grandmother. My mom‚ Anne Walker Bridges‚ was adopted at 2 days old in Memphis‚ TN and I’m quite certain she was born at The Bethany Training Home. I have been able to find her bio father‚ Clarence Elmer Baker Jr‚ but unfortunately he died in 2014. I have been in touch with his daughter/my mom’s half sister and after asking around her family we are pretty certain that Clarence didn’t know my mom existed and no one knows who her birth mother was. Anne was adopted by Frank Gordon Bridges III and Patricia Carter Bridges. The birth certificate was changed to show Anne being born in Pine Bluff‚ AR. I’ve been told that either her uncle Lunsford Williamson Bridges or great uncle John Walker Bridges was the doctor that delivered her and that her grandfather Frank Gordon Bridges Jr was the attorney that did the paperwork. My sister tried getting the adoption records from TN vital records but was told they didn’t have any for Anne. I have done a dna test through Ancestry.com but so far all my matches on my mom’s side have been through her paternal side. Any information you can find I will be so grateful to learn!
2164. RogerWhitaker : My husband just found out he has a daughter. She was given up for adoption when she was born. He had no knowledge of her. The birth mother has passed away and the only information he has is she was born in a clinic in Greeneville TN and immediately adopted by a Dr there. This would have been around 1985 or 1986. He is devastated that he never knew about her and would like to try and find her
2165. Lynnsi : I found a picture of my mom‚ her sister and several unfamiliar children with an inscription on the back‚ saying it was when they lived in Como‚ Tennessee but they never told me anything about living there. In addition to that‚ some relatives were sent to the orphanage in Tiffin Ohio and some were put into foster homes. I didn’t meet my dad’s extended family but my mom’s family frequently visited. Upon my parents being told they had a short time to live‚ they told me there’s a chance someone else is my father. It sounds convincing to me. I constantly feel like I don’t belong in this family. I could be wrong but I want to find out‚ because I’ve recently been told I have a sister in S.C. but we can’t put any family together...it’s a big mystery to us.
2167. Meghanson : Clarence Arthur Wilson‚ he only exists in the record as an adult and I've never found the father that is claimed‚ I've also found slight possiblity of a name change??? He is either adopted or illegitimate and I don't know which.
2168. Meghanson : My mom was adopted and my grandmother has never once given even a word of who it was. My mother has no interest in knowing since we had a grandpa raising her who we loved‚ but I'm showing signs of genetic illnesses so I disagree.
2171. Tiffanieself123092 : I am looking to find out if my daughter brailey Rae self and Harley Evan Davis have been adopted out. Or if there is any chance if they ain’t‚ then I would love to see them and be there for them. I made a lot of smart mistakes when I was younger. Went to jail a lot. And I still have not forgiven myself. But I have changed my whole life and I have been looking for my kids for the last 6 years. They have to be in Tennessee. They are from Clarksville. Last heard that they may be living in Indian mound or Houston county. Stewart county. Please help.
2172. Lindaparker59 : Searching for 2 brothers 1 sister from Knoxville Tennessee they are the siblings of my children from a previous marriage the adopted kids I’m searching for are bi-racial if any information can be provided please contact me so I can respond back asap.. the biological parents are Shawn and Herman.. thank you from linda
2173. CJones5060 : Parents on my birth certificate are Helen Ruth Canaday Jones and Herman Eugene Jones. I was born as far as I know at Methodist North Hospital in Memphis‚ TN.
2175. Jon1982 : His birth name is Shawn Christopher Robinson he was born in oak ridge Tennessee he has autism brown hair him and his siblings were taken into custody by Roane county Tennessee don't know where the adoption took place I believe it was Roane county
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.
