A Few of Our Members Currently Searching Within Tennessee Who Chose To Be Featured
811. Booboothefool : I was raised in Cookeville, TN. I am not sure the process was completely legal. No one has any memory of me before the age of 3-4. I have very few pics of me from that age which is odd b/c there are literally thousands from that age on. I have a birth certificate but can never find it on any online search. My mother kept me sick my whole life, in and out of the hospital for her own sick attention needs. I have liden gene factor 5, I am a heterozygote after having a miscarriage my mother told the doctor I needed to be tested for it. Apparently she knew I had it and never told me. I know now why she kept it to herself and even told people she had it when her medical records say the opposite. This proves she cannot be my biological mother and it’s strange but I can remember that odd sense that she wasn’t my real mother even as a little girl. She used to say she wanted to name me Rachel. That was also odd. My name is Alicia Schavon... I will list all of the surnames I can recall from both sides. Please message me with any help! Mother’s side- Robinson, Martin, Thomas, Graham, Kinnard Father’s side- Tollett, Henry, McCormick, Mccloud (these names are from who raised me) I have also learned my mother was married before and never told me... nothing pieces together. The area I have been in my whole life is Cookeville and the surrounding counties. I was delivered at Cookeville General Hospital (so I’ve been told) the Dr. James Shaw who delivered me was a multi-malpracticioner and my mom knew all the ins and outs of manipulating doctors. Wouldn’t suprise me if she had something lined up. This sounds absolutely horrible, I know but having a narcissistic abuser as a mother has been impossible to recover from. My father and his parents were my saving grace. If anyone has any tips or tricks to help me find who I am I hope you will message me and share b/c I am so lost.
815. Calliebeth : I know that my birth mother’s name is Karen Ann Lowery. My birth father is unknown. My birth grandfather’s name is George and at the time of my birth his girlfriend was named Nancy. My birth mother’s birth mother was named Elizabeth Edna and she passed ten years before my birth. My birth mothers birthday is 7/1/77. She has blonde hair and blue green eyes. She was 5’2 at the time of my birth. My birth grandparents and birth mother were from Maryland. My birth mother moved away and ended up in Tennessee. My birth name was Brittany Marie Lowery. I do not think my birth mother is still alive because she had serious illnesses. She had psychological issues and did not see the need for her to take her medication for her physical issues. What I am wanting to know is if she had any other children after me. I was her first child.
816. Peggymcmahan : My name is Peggy MCMahan.I was born to Helen Ruth Carter in Morristown tn in 1966. Lived with Myrtle Brockwell for a time before being removed and put into a foster house in Morristown . The lady at the foster homes last name was Combs. I attended Rose school as Peggy Carter. I was adopted by a wonderful couple in 1975 ,but would like to have more information about past family. I know I have a brother named Billy joe carter,as I have met him. I also have a sister out there somewhere, whom I have not met. The story being told is that my mother would go to dr. Visits pretending to be the wife of a man possibly by the last name Reed(who actually had a wife).. she gave my sister to them and they later left Morristown tn. I have been told her name is possibly Martha. My mother Helen was not married and had Red hair. Any information would be appreciated.
818. Kaylyn1988 : Adopted by Edward Ray and Christine Green that lived in Cleveland‚ TN.
DNA has linked me to the Duggans in Lenoir City‚ TN. I believe that Gary Duggan is my grandfather‚ looking for my grandmother who would have been 17 y/o at the time of birth.
Family surnames Watts/Justice. I believe that Edith Watts is my great-grandmother on the maternal side‚ based on DNA.
819. Catherinermr : i was born at UT hospital to the name Debbie johnson , and my birth moms name , geraldine johnson . she had 2 sons before me and one after me in 2002.
822. Alicia71 : I’m looking for my husbands biological family. He was born in Nashville, Tennessee during the month of December 1986. He was adopted in February to a family in New Jersey from Louisiana the following February, 1987.
824. Tharnish : I am seeking out my adopted half brother. Birth mother name is Sherry Delaine Brown. The name of child at birth is Christopher Shane Brown. The birth year and month is Aug 1973. I believe the day was either 27 or 29 but not sure. Birth city is Chattanooga . I believe the hospital was Erlanger.
