996. MissingMyGirls : My name is Jessica Hutson. Im looking for my daughter Elizabeth Hayden Mitchell she was born may 6 2000 at ut medical center. Her fathers name is David Lee Mitchell. She was adooted threw dcs in Blount county.
997. KTanner138 : I had an Ancestry DNA test done. My older sibling supposedly died shortly after birth in Virginia. I have reason to believe s/he was born healthy, then stolen and sold on the black market in any state. A white baby born April 20, 1978 at Petersburg General Hospital in Virginia, but would be listed as born elsewhere. The hospital records were destroyed in a mysterious fire in the early 1980s. The birthday would have been changed, as would any other identifying information. She was born a girl, though my parents "were not allowed" to see the baby after birth. My mother heard her baby crying healthily from the other side of the curtain after her forced scheduled 8am c-section, 8:20 something was the birth time. It is possible it was really a boy. The doctor informed my parents of the "death" 90 minutes later at 10am. He insisted on never seeing the baby due to the grotesqueness of her. She supposedly had complete anencephaly, missing basically her entire head that never formed. A baby cannot cry without a head to cry from, missing vital structures essential for that bodily function, let alone survive 1.5 hours. There was a closed casket memorial service, nothing more. The death certificate listed time of death in the 3am hour of April 20th, 5 hours before s/he was actually born. The time has also been altered in some way on the certificate.There is no telling what other information was changed, and to what extent. False birth information would have been provided to vital statistics, around the same time the false death information was submitted on April 24, 1978. The baby would have been adopted soon after by a family that thought it was an honest, closed adoption from a young, unwed mother. This would result in false information given to the child later on. In a nutshell, I am looking for a white adult born early-mid 1978 that believes the wrong facts about their biological parents, adopted in anywhere USA. I have no clue as to where to start my search. Our family genes are strong. A boy would look like my grandfather, father, brother, and nephew. A girl would like like my grandmother, mother, daughters, and myself. I only hope to find the truth before it’s too late. My entire family, parents and grandparents, have passed away. My younger brother knows no more than I do. There is simply nobody left to collaborate with. Thank you for listening. Whether you feel this could be yourself or not, I wish you luck in your own search.
1003. Kjackson78 : Searching for female born anywhere from 1981-1984 in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. POSSIBLY MISTAKENLY CLASSIFIED AS A CHEROKEE OR NATIVE AMERICAN BABY!!!! Date of birth is uncertain but she was born at Oak Ridge Hospital (Now called Methodist Medical Center of Oak Ridge) to Glenda Kay Montgomery and William Sydney Staley, III, and surrendered at the hospital. Both parents would have been approx. 27-29 years of age. Both were born in 1954.
1005. AtrielMoore : My name is Atriel Moore‚ & my aunt revealed to me when I was 18 that my mother had secretly given a son away 10 years earlier. My heart was immediately broken by the fact that a piece of me was out there somewhere & I had no idea if he was loved or safe. My mother kept this secret from me & still refuses to acknowledge or talk about it. Her name at the time of my brother’s birth was Sonya Rene Moore. She was still married to my father‚ Ronnie Jerome Moore‚ & this baby was not his child. He was born at a Baptist facility somewhere in Memphis‚ TN. She named him Adam Christopher I am not sure what last name was given to him. After questioning my father‚ he admitted it was true & showed me pictures of Adam as a newborn‚ along with letters that his adopted mother wrote to my mother. I have searched for years & hit dead ends‚ & I have asked as many questions as I can but my family insists on "staying out of it" as to not embarrass or hurt my mother. I don’t care about that. I NEED to find Adam!!
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.
