A Few of Our Members Currently Searching Within Tennessee Who Chose To Be Featured
676. Sabrina0917 : My name is Sabrina. I was born in Nashville TN and I am trying to find my birth father. I have very little information on who he is. I was taken away from my biological family when I was 3yrs old. And was placed in a foster family who adopted me when I was 8yrs old. My biological mothers name is Valentina Simpkins. My siblings are Bobby, Margaret, Krystal, Amber, and Joseph. My biological mom has 2 other children but they are in her care now none of us have met them. We are all half-siblings we have the same mom but different dad’s. Everyone knows their father but me. My mom refuses to give me any details she says she doesn’t know him only that his name is Mike. (I am not even sure that’s his name). I would really like to find him. I’m told I am the spitting image of my father by my family and I know that’s true because I’ve seen my mom and I look nothing like her. All of my siblings have brown hair and brown eyes (just like my mom) and I am the only one with blonde hair and blue eyes. My mom’s sister is named Ella Rhea. But other than that I really don’t know much. I have met my biological mother. But I haven’t found my biological father and that is why I’m doing this....I would love to find him and hopefully meet him.
677. Mommyishome : Searching for birth family of baby girl, possible last name Ward, born on April 1, 1957, in Memphis, TN. The nuns were not expecting a new baby, so birth mother may not have been from that area. She was adopted within weeks of birth to the Kelley family. She was told her she was christened "Lisa Marie," but it is unclear whether the nuns chose that name or her birth mother did. Thanks.
678. Mommyishome : Searching for birth family of baby girl, possible last name Cobb, born on April 1, 1957, in Memphis, TN. The nuns were not expecting a new baby, so birth mother may not have been from that area. She was adopted within weeks of birth to the Kelley family. She was told her she was christened "Lisa Marie," but it is unclear whether the nuns chose that name or her birth mother did. Thanks.
679. CarolynSmith : Rebecca JoAnne Smith, this is the name you were given at birth. You have a sister, Jessica. And your mother, Carolyn . You were taken by the courts of Dandridge Tn. in 1982. Your mother has been looking for you since then. She now has a terminal disease and would like to find you before her eminent death. I have very little information to go on to find you. I am a friend trying to help her. Jessica and your mother have reunited since the adoption. Hoping this helps if you ever look for your mom. Know she loves you dearly.
