1742. Rwenman : My name is Robert James Wenman. I was born October 11, 1957, in Seattle Washington at Swedish Hospital. I was then cared for by Children’s home society of Washington.
I was then adopted by Harold and Margaret Wenman from Tacoma Washington.
I now have my original birth certificate that I petitioned the state of Washington for. The birth certificate shows my mother as Bette Mae Riggs, born in Taft California in 1933. I believe her family moved to Fresno California where she attended Fresno State College. I have fóund no record of her after 1963 .
I did a DNA test and see I have a strong connection to a few people as 1st cousins with the name of Riggs, and another named Brown. I contacted the Brown connection and it appears my father name may be William Lawrence Brown from Brooklyn NY, 1933-1977. I’m hoping to do a DNA test with one of his children to confirm the connection.
I contacted a link on my mothers side (Riggs) but have not heard back. Anxiously waiting to learn more.
At this point I would be very happy to confirm my birth parents, family heritage, and information about family health history. I would also like to know if my birth mother is still alive. I do not want to intrude unwanted into other people’s private lives.

1743. Gdaniel : I am searching for my missing aunt. Her birth name was Daisy Wilkens. She and her older sister, Ethel, were placed in the Settle Children’s Home about 1933-36. Daisy was supposed to have been adopted before her older sister during that time frame. Would just like to know what happened to her.
Thank you,
George Potter
1744. Laurelyn61 : I have my original birth certificate. I was born at Olympic Memorial Hospital in Port Angeles Washington. The doctors name was Littlejohn.
My birth mothers name is Louisa Catherine Fox. Age 22, born in Jersey City, NJ. No father listed. I was listed as ‘baby girl Wooding.
1746. Kelekia1 : My mother and father had an 8-pound baby boy. He was born in a clinic 23rd and Madison in Seattle. She heard her son cry and saw him kicking and then her doctor who was a black man came back and told her that her baby boy had died. She told him that she wanted to hold him and he said no that would only make her sad. My mother was screaming and gave her a sedative and made her leave. There was no birth certificate or death certificate. In Washington State, they must be given a birth certificate and death certificate if the baby died. My mother was not given any of these or the body of her child that they claimed was dead. I have looked online and Seattle WA, Dept. of Health. There is no record of my brother. I think he was sold. He would be 71 today. I would love to find him.
1748. AustinFreudenstein : My name is Austin Freudenstein. I was born December 31st 1999 in an unknown hospital (to me) in Seattle. I’m in search of my biological relatives. I know my biological mother’s name is Cherish, but that is all.
1749. LanaDiane : Alan Baxter Kerry Baxter Paul Baxter . Around Salt Lake City, Utah Possibly Dallas Ft Worth area . Maybe Washington state. DNA tests suggest a male child was born in 1982 unknown to one of these men. Adopted at 2 weeks old. Child’s name Alex White. Would love to welcome him to the family. I don’t know the correct birth date just the year.
1750. Laurapierce : Looking for a brother who was given up for adoption by our mother in 1967‚ the same year in which I believe he was born in Seattle. She lived at a home for unwed mothers‚ I believe it was called Florence Crittenton.

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.
