1456. Aksharp : Hello! My name is Ashley‚ though I was born as Alesica Dionne Shelton in Memphis‚ Tennessee‚ about forty-two years ago. I believe I was born at City of Memphis Hospital (now Regional One) and that my adoption was arranged privately through a Memphis attorney who is now deceased.
From what I understand‚ I was placed shortly after birth‚ and the adoption was handled entirely in the Memphis area. I’m hoping to connect with anyone who may recognize these details‚ including possible family members.
I’m not looking to intrude‚ just to learn more about my beginnings and‚ hopefully‚ bring a little peace and connection to both sides.

I am searching for my birth parents... The information I’ve obtained thus far is they are of Romanian/Moldova/Germany/Hungarian decent. I’ve found out that a family immigrated to the US and their last names are ‘Schmidt/Schmied/Beglau/Kunusch/Stepanov’.
I also found out that there may have been another family that might have immigrated to Canada/USA and their last names are ‘Schwarz/Welty/Hamman/Mader/Hümer(Haters)/Black/Blacksmith/Smith/Smythe/Krumpholz’.... I am on Family tree DNA as well I uploaded to gedmatch as well...
