A Few of Our Members Currently Searching Within Tennessee Who Chose To Be Featured
1321. Kermit75 : All that I was told was that you were born in massachusetts, and that you were raised by maternal grandparents possibly in Arizona. I’m your aunt and I am curious if you want to know us? My brother would be your bio dad. Not sure I he ever signed your birth certificate. He is still alive but was never told where you were and left things alone. And now he is not tech savvy at all so I am searching. You do have siblings. You’d be the oldest of 5 half siblings. My brother had 4 boys including you and 1 girl.
1322. Faganha : Looking for birth name Rhonda Jean (unsure of spelling of name and unsure of last name. It is assumed her birth last name would be Best, Belcher, or ferguson. She was born possible in 1958 but details are again unsure. Her mother is Ruth Best/Belcher. Rhonda was born in Brunswick Georgia at what we believed was called glynco memorial hospital. She was then given up around the age of 1 to an apartment building neighbor. It is believed she was given to a marine family or at least military.
1323. Michy1380 : My sister and I are looking for our twin sisters. Their names at birth are Anna Bedesa Fosness and Judy Maria Fosness. They were born Jan 27 1975 at the Good Samaritan Hospital, at that time called the Lebanon Valley General also Hyman S Caplan in Lebanon, PA. Birth Mothers name is Barbara Fosness
1324. Tyderio : I think I was born in Memphis, the social worker on my case was Carol Bass. I had surgery on the left side of my face around the age of 1 year. was taken from the hospital from birth by a foster mother. I am an African American, 5ft3in tall, brown skin and light brown eyes.
1325. Searchingforbabybro : I’ve never met you, you don’t know I exist. But I love you. Your name was Jason, you have blond hair, and we have the same eyes and nose. You have sisters you’ve never meet but love you. I would never hurt you all I want is to know and love you
1326. Bigsassy25 : My son Anthony Joseph Ambrose was born on September 6 2001. He was born in Nashville Tennessee. His birth mothers name is carrie Ambrose.
1327. JessJessieJessica : My name is Jessica, I was adopted close to 3 yrs old and my sister with me at under 2yrs old. We are half sisters, same mother, different father’s. I am looking for my biological father, I am told his name is Jesse Hoffman but that could be untrue. I was named after him supposedly. He was a red head with beard and was a bike rider I think with a tattoo/s on his arm. My adoption took place in East TN. But I have no idea where he was born or where him and my mother even met. He just went with her, had me, and disappeared basically. Please help me find him, I may have other siblings to, and I’ve always just wanted to know.
1329. Panek1961 : Lucy Saunders mother of adopted female father was Williams Saunders .Adopted parents Robert and Francis Johnson.female names Mary Ann (Saunders)Johnson.May have been a illegal adoption.They all lived in Nashville Tennessee.Any information would be greatly appreciated
1330. AleaWeil : I was born in Nashville on April 15th, 1993. I don’t know if the adoption was finalized in TN or in GA were I went immediately after birth and where grew up. My adoptive parents are Craig and Amy Weil. I have had a wonderful life and I have been loved beyond measure- I am just desperate (and have been for a long time) to find out *anything* about where and who I came from. I now have a gorgeous daughter- your biological granddaughter- and I have sought information even harder after her birth. I’ve struggled with mental health my whole life and I feel very much in the dark about my history and would love any information that could help me make sure my daughter grows up healthy, happy, and strong. I’ve seen a picture of my biological sister- she’s a lawyer I believe- and she looks so much like me that it took my breath away. Having grown up as an only child has made me so curious and excited to know my siblings. Thank you so much for your time reading this profile and I hope somebody out there wants to find me as much as I want to find them.
1331. Coledancy0410 : I am looking for my daughter her name is Krystal Collier, she moved to California I do not know what part of California her mother remarried and now I do not know where she is. I would like to find her.
1332. JessicaDawn4216 : The hospital and adoption agency that were used is closed now. My grandmother was so young and regrets giving her away. She was only 17 at the time.
1333. Sappyrie1988 : My name is Stephanie Marie Pannell I was born at a army hospital on base at Darnell Hospital in Fort Hood Texas on 2-8-88 to Mary Elizabeth Coker- Cooper-Pannell she was married to Robert Irwin Pannell. A few months after I was born we moved to Tennessee I had to have open heart surgery so they could do a VSD repair on October 9th or 10th 1989 at 19 months old. Robert came to the hospital to see me and told my mom that he didn’t think I was his and he threw a $60 money order and 3 $20 bills on me and said here’s your yay child support. He then got mad at her because his cars was messing up and he wanted her to trade him her care for his that was tearing up so he could go back to Illinois. That was the last day he saw me. I called around to a bunch of numbers at the age of 18 looking for this man and I actually called the right house and left a voicemail but he wasnt man enough to call me back. And I later found out when I was 24 or 25 that he had not even told his wife about me or him being married once before to my mom. I have searched my whole life not for him but because I wanted to get in touch with his mom and his other family to see if they would like to get to know me. I want nothing from this man because no matter what he has it would never make up for what he done to me. I was very lucky and my dad walked into my life and married my mom and gave me his last name. He stepped up and my Hicks family never once made me feel like I wasn’t family or that I didn’t belong. I am Hicks through and through no doubt about it. But it would be nice to see if any of the Pannell’s would like to get to know me or if they are just like him and thought I would die and he could just forget I was ever born. But you can’t hide something like this, eventually one day your skeleton’s will cpme back and bite you in your butt.
1334. Topdyke : My mom gave birth to a baby girl that she babes Kimberly Michelle. The name. may have been changed. She was sent to an unwed mother’s home in Tennessee. She believes an employee at the home adopted her daughter. My mom is petite. Her last name was White.
1335. AleaWeil : I was born in Nashville, TN on April 15th, 1993. I was then immediately taken to Atlanta, GA where I grew up and have lived most of my life. Because of this I am not sure if the adoption was actually finalized in Georgia or Tennessee. I am fairly certain that my birth parents had two children before me, both that they kept. I know one is a woman- I think she’s a lawyer and lived in Chicago at some point- but that’s all I know. I’ve seen a picture of her and she looked so much like me that it literally took my breath away. I grew up as an only child and I would *love* so much to meet anyone biologically related to me and to know my actual siblings! I have a beautiful daughter now- your biological niece- and I want to be able to answer all her questions (and mine!) as she grows up. Thank you for your time and I hope to hear from someone :)
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.
