Laura30f : Looking for younger brother given up for adoption at birth - He was born in late December (i believe) 1971 at Group Health Hospital - His birth mother was Martha Johnson - She already had me a girl of 3 and a boy of 1 when she had him - she said that there was a clause in the adoption that when he was 18/21 he could have her contact information but by then she had remarried.
178. Kanzuz : James Sedlmayer was adopted a year or more after his birth. He never knew he was adopted until his parents passed and he was going through paperwork. He found his picture with the name on the back...LITTLE JIMMIE BOWEN. Since his name was JImmie to his adopted parents he assumed it was him. His birthday is either the 20th or 21st of April..1944. He is 73. He was raised in Spirit Lake Idaho. However, he was born in Walla Walla Washinton. In Walla Walla there is a Military base of some sort?? and a men and womens prison. He just wants to find siblings..someone that can tell him he was loved by his birth mom. He had a beautiful life living on the lake helping with the guest at the family’s resort. However...oh those questions on a 73 year old brain can be daunting. Hope someone finds him!!
179. Kanzuz : Jim was born on April 20th or 21st in 1944 in Walla Walla Washington. There is a military base there and a womens and mens prison. After his adpted parents died he found out he was adopted. A picture he found had the name Little Jimmie Bowen on the back. He figures it is him since they kdpt his first name James and they called him Jimmie. He moved to Spirit lake Idaho with the family when he was probably a year or a little older. Jim Sedlmayer. His dad was Ed Sedlmayer(adopted dad) I forget his mom’s name. He thinks he was adopted out of the Catholic charities. Good luck to all of you looking for family. I wish you well
180. GrammaSabina : I’m looking for the identity of my birth mother. I am nearly 60 years old and have only known I was adopted since 2000. Apparently I was born in White Plains New York at St Agnes Hospital (?) I have a picture of a teenage girl with four boys taken on County Center Road in White Plains in the 1950’s. We moved to Washington State in 1960 and never went back as a family. All the folks/parents/aunts & uncles are gone now and my "sibs" won’t tell me anything. I just want the truth.
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.
