422. Yhungjefe : I just wanna know if i have any blood out there in the world. Plus i wanna know if i have any financial benefits from being adopted or if its even possible? Im in such need of money im 24 with nothing or nobody my so called family pushed me away.
424. NickWaraksa13 : Lisa Giannelli (mother)
Born in Oak Ridge, TN at Methodist medical center
My mother married Peter Waraksa 4 years after my birth and he adopted me as my legal father. Have never known the name of my birth father.
426. Kyndalledwards : Hello, I am trying to find my birth parents. My whole life I was told the adoption was closed but I recently found out differently and I don’t have the money to pay Nashville for my adoption records.
428. Kylehays27 : I may the time of birth I was an addict‚ and my mother told me to come home and raise him with his other brother but she couldn’t afford too take on the easing kids again cause of her health. I left my badly i name him David Allan Hays or Clinton ‚He was born on 07/27/1997.I left him at the hospital in Memphis down town by the big hospital. I’m in my laststGe of Cirrhosis of liver and I promise my son I would try to find his brother.my mane is Lisa Sheree Hays‚dob09/30 1965.
430. Shannondanielle93 : His birth name was Kenny Heaning. He's my nephew by my brother. He has 3 aunts‚ some grandparents‚ and cousins he doesnt know about. After my brother passed away (you could probably still look up the obituary if that may be helpful)‚ while his wife was pregnant‚ she had the baby and wasn't the best person so DCS took little kenny from her. The foster family would bring him for supervised visits untill he was around age 2 or 3. Then an uncle of mine had kept in contact with the foster family for a bit but then lost contact. This was around 19 years ago‚ so little kenny would be 20/21 by now. He's all I have left of my brother and is almost an exact spitting image of him. I believe the original foster family is who adopted him but I'm not 100 % sure. And I do know at the time they lived around Vonore / Madisonville TN. I've tried over the years to see if I could get lucky and come across a Facebook account for him‚ but have never had any luck. I have no clue what his last name might be or if they may of even changed his first name. His birth fathers name is Kenneth Michael Heaning and his birth mothers name is Sara( not sure on her current last name) it used to be heaning‚ but I'm sure she's been re married or went back to her maiden name by now. I have no contact with the mother and haven't in 17/18 years now. Kenny was my one and only brother and I'd really love to be able to re connect with my nephew‚ specially for my brothers sake so if he's looking down from heaven some how‚ he will know his son knows who his real family is. And unfortunately little kenny isn't the only nephew I've lost contact with. I have a niece from an older sister I'll probably never see again and I have 2 nieces and a nephew from another sister that got adopted‚ but I atleast know where they are and know that the family is good to them‚ we're just not aloud to be in contact as far as I know. I would give anything to find him and form a relationship.
432. Concord : Doris May Rogers had maybe four children given up for adoption at birth. She was a twin. Her father was deceased. One, maybe two daughters have been found.
I am also looking for a boy born 4/29-20/1953.
433. John1993 : My Step dad died in 2010 which we found his birth certificate to have no mother or father name on it he was real private about his past even to my mother on his death bed he said his mom’s name was Mary Fleming and his dad’s name was John Fleming which I’m guessing to be his adoption parents we do not know how to contact them and as far as I know they don’t know about his death is there any way we can obtain this information
435. Rattail1369 : If anyone has any info on a Penny Joe Ruth Flannery and Patricia Leona-Marie Flannery born on Feb. 11th & 18th respectively in 1998 & 2000, please respond. This is your sister Sara Spurlock and I miss you terribly and hope your life is happy and healthy. I love you both.
