A Few of Our Members Currently Searching Within Tennessee Who Chose To Be Featured
1396. Stejthomp620 : I was privately adopted at birth in Memphis, TN, born at The Med. Adoptive parents were Jimmy and Kathy Thompson - Adoption was privately done through a lawyer by the name Dianna Schmied.
Birth mothers name was Mary Johnson, she was 35 at the time of my adoption (1990). She had a son that was 14 years older than me. She had red hair, green eyes and was a cosmetologist.
Father was 43 at the time of my birth (1990) he was 6’2" 175 lbs and was a truck driver.
1398. Inaray : My mom was born in 1954 and at age 16 in 1970 she had me at 16 yrs old . She was from Memphis tn and all I know is my dad was 19 at the time. I’m glad she chose adoption for me. That is all I know about her I would like to see if she’s alive and would like to reach out and talk if she’s willing
1401. Erikc716 : Son of the in question . I’m 25 and looking to find out the origins of my father’s side for my own knowledge possibly as far as health issues and etc..
1403. Southernladi : I am unsure if I had a name before adoption. My name is Letisha Arlene Green adopted by Charles and Edna Green of Chattanooga Tennessee adoption done by a Hamilton County agency I was born in Knoxville Tennessee brought here for I think final adoption process was told mom was in Nursing School. Dad was playing football for Vols.
1406. ASMackey : I am looking for any information on my grandmother, Ann Trebotich Broussard Shoemaker King (birth name: Doris Jane Shaw).
DOB: 25 Feb 1934
Birth Place: Memphis, TN
Adopted: at or after age two
1409. Sky2004 : I’m the mother to the adopted child’s half sister and I’m trying to help her locate her half brother. They obviously have the same father.
The adopted boy, Mason, was adopted shortly after his mother gave birth. She didn’t want a reminder of her affair with my husband (ex husband now). She told me she was giving Mason to her cousins whom lived outside of Illinois (where we all live) in a different state. I don’t remember the state she told me tho because that was 12-13 years ago.
I think my daughter deserves to know her one and only step sibling. And she wants to know him, too!
When college time comes along for both of them, I don’t want them to meet and fall in love and end up finding out too late that they are siblings. Mason’s mother, Mandy, shouldn’t want that either.
I think Mandy is afraid that if I find Mason, I will tell him about his real dad and what a narcissist he is and that Mandy doesn’t want her son to ever meet his birth father.
1410. Wantedthebestforyou : You were born December 18, 1985 in Wilson County, Tennessee at the University Medical Center. The adoption agency was the Tennessee Baptist Children’s Home in Davidson County
