Adoptee’s Birth Mother’s name is unknown. The birth Mother’s parents and my Dad’s parents were close friends in Columbus‚ Ohio during the 1960’s to late 70’s. The birth mother was a babysitter to my Dad. My Dad and his babysitter messed around‚ and she got pregnant by him. Pregnancy was unplanned and a shock to her parents. There’s rumored family story that the woman’s parents may have forced her to move away to keep the pregnancy secret or they possibly forced her to put the baby up for adoption. I don’t know the babysitter’s name aka the Bio Mother’s name. My Dad was 4-6 years younger than she was. I don’t know any other details of anything besides that my Dad was between 13-16 years old‚ and the girl got pregnant by him between 1976-1979‚ and she was between 17-20 years old. The baby she birthed was supposedly a girl‚ and if the woman’s parent forced her to put the baby girl up for adoption after birth‚ it would’ve been sometime between 1976-1981 possibly. That baby girl would be my older Half Sister. My now deceased Aunt‚ my late Dad’s only younger sibling‚ told me this information a few months before she passed away. My Dad never mentioned this to me and he passed away in 2008. My Grandparents‚ Dad’s parents are no longer alive either...they previously passed away in 1997 and 2002. The birth Mother’s Mother was supposedly obsessed with my Dad’s Mother as her friend. She was very compulsive and liked to copy everything my Dad’s Mom‚ my Grandmother‚ did and how she dressed‚ etc.. The birth Mother’s Mother’s first name was supposedly Phyllis. Please email me at jaybugger six at Gmail dot com if you think you know who I’m looking for‚ or if you think you might be who I’m looking for. Thanks!
Adoptee’s Birth Father’s Name:
William aka "Jeff" or "Jeffrey" Muncy
Adoptee’s Mother’s Age at time of birth:
Between 16-22 years old
Adoptee’s Father’s Age at time of birth:
Between 12-16 years old
My relationship to the Adoptee:
Adoptee is my Half Sister
I’d like to meet my half Sister. She probably doesn’t know she even has any siblings‚ I’m not sure. Her Mother’s parents‚ (the Adoptee’s Grandparents‚) might have forced their Daughter to be sent away and demanded she give her baby up for adoption‚ IF she was underage at the time of her pregnancy‚ or shortly after the time of her baby’s birth. The Adoptee’s Father (my Dad‚) wasn’t informed until she was already sent away. Him‚ along with the Adoptee’s Mother‚ were separated shortly after both of their parents found out about them two being together intimately and her being pregnant. I’d like to know if the baby girl born was ever adopted out to a good family. I’d like to know about her current life and whereabouts. I’m interested in meeting her if possible. If anyone has any information please contact me at. Thank you‚ God Bless!
