512. Jennifer1968 : Birth name James Patrick. Born 1964 or 1965, month unknown. Birth mother’s name Cathy/ Kathy Dolan. Mother spent pregnancy time at Catholic Girl’s Home in Memphis, TN
513. TonyBie : I know my birth mothers name is Monica and is from a small town in East Tennessee. She is of German and native American decent. Before having me she worked as an LPN and was working to become an RN and wanted to do hospice work for a few years. I know she used to go to the adoption agency every 3 years and have them call my parents while I still lived in TN. My purpose in finding her is to thank her for the life she gave me and I just want to meet her and tell her how thankful I am and how much I love her for it without even knowing her.

515. Rose1994 : Looking for my father was in Nebraska went he met my birth mother 1993. Then left back to Tennessee. Doesn’t know about me. Also looking for my Brother James.
516. JasonP1969 : I was given up at birth and adopted within a few months into a family in middle Tennessee. I never knew anything about my birth parents, but would like to find out...
517. Nikdilks619 : I was born in Linden, Tennesse at Perry County General Hospital on January 16, 1977. My birth mother was Shelly Shrock, who was 18 years old at the time and my birth father is/was Gary Porter, who was estimated to be about 22 at the time. I was given up for adoption at birth and my BF did not relinquish rights to me. It’s possible he doesn’t know I exist, but I was told that he knew and wanted no responsibility. My BM was killed in a car accident a few years after I was born and I have been in touch with my BM’s family for years. I am trying to locate my BF or any family members that would like to connect. He had dark hair and blue eyes, and a sister named Lisa with blonde hair and blue eyes. Lisa was approximately 16 at the time.
518. Kimball53 : My father was adopted sometime in the late 20s or 30’s and I am just hoping to find out more about my fathers biological family and history. He is deceased now and I just want to know. I was told he was born in Tennesse but his adopted parents lived in Texas. His birthday is May 5th, 1924
519. Barthickman : Hello,
My name is Bart and I was born June 6, 1972 in Knoxville, TN. From what I’ve been told my birth mother was 15 years old when she had me and that’s why I was given up. The state has recently contacted me stating that my birth mother is trying to find me. It’s been 3-4 weeks now and I’m starting to wonder if she has changed her mind. If your out there and you see this I would love to meet you. I hope I find you soon.
523. Emilyemily : idk why but I am interested in finding my birthparents. I want too get to know them or at least know if I was a mistake or why they gave me up
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.
