A Few of Our Members Currently Searching Within Washington Who Chose To Be Featured
2341. Kaitlyn_Lechmann : My name is Kaitlyn M. Lechmann and I am 22 years old. I am looking for my adopted brother that was born to Melissa L. Lechmann (maiden name Strand) and Joseph Lee Lechmann. I believe my parents lived in or around Lynnwood, WA when they gave my brother up for adoption when I was under the age of 3 years old. I didn’t know I had a brother until I was in high school and have wanted to find him ever since. I do not have a relationship with my parents and they will not give me any details about my brother or the adoption, so I don’t know how to find him. I’m hoping my brother has more information on his adoption and might know his birth parents names so we can hopefully cross paths if he is also looking for me. Thank you!!!
2343. Dragonlove1954 : Fairly certain of birth father O.F. Cokely no idea of birth mother, supposed to have been a not legal adoption at birth retrieved from CA by authorities & put in foster care adopted at almost 5 entire name changed & to this day I have absolutely NO MEMORY of what it was. Was said to been born in Doctors Hospital on hospital hill in Seattle WA, some memory of being told Medina Children’s Services had some part, said I spoke of a man named Ray, and something about riding around in a cab often with him, and I was told by adopted mother I said Ray was at courthouse day went before judge and said I wanted to be adopted by the family I was. Truth told, after 62 yrs since it happened and being told same things whenever ask can’t swear if I actually remember any of it anymore or its just there because of many decades of the same stories??! Have applied for original birth certificate but before mandate there was estimated turn around of 3 to 4 months no idea now.
2344. Dragonlove1954 : Do have Ancestry DNA results
Pretty sure O.F. Cokely is father absolutely no info on bio mother & just found grandmother B. Shreck, told bio mother entered Doctors Hospital on hospital in Seattle under the name of a relative of "her" they presumably had me until A male took me & his girlfriend and moved to CA at which time it was reported to authorities about "illegal adoption" said I was brought back to WA & put in foster care, just remembered the name "Grandma Titus" believe she was connected to foster home was at when adopted. I supposedly spoke often & fondly aboutt a man named Ray who drove me around in a cab. Total name change at almost 5yrs old when adopted was told I never mentioned my name and as hard as I have tried I have absolutely NO MEMORY of what it was, have applied for original birth certificate but turn around time before mandate was at 3 to 5+ months, recently learned it is going to be even longer time expected, given my age really don’t wish to wait to know any longer if possible! (67 yrs old).

2347. AhjanayBrunson : Hello my name is Ahjanay Brunson I’m looking for my baby sister Imunique Calvin (last name may be Chapman) her name may have been changed since I’m 23 years old I live in Virginia and would love to meet her or hear from her . Contact me.
2348. Gracie77 : Hi.
im assuming this message is for adopted.com.
I was born in Seattle in 1964 at St.Caprini hospital.
I have my original birth certificate with my mothers name. her name is Charlene D.Cumby . She traveled to Seattle to have me but lived in Atlanta GA. from what I can tell she always lived there.
There is another name there the fathers name goes. That name is Lancey. Ive done some searching on my own and ive found relatives and phone #s. can you help me?
2349. Jordanalexis22 : I am searching for birth information regarding my fathers adoption. He was born October 15 1975 at Sacred Heart Hospital in Spokane and given up for adoption through Catholic Charities. I have very little information other then this. Any information is helpful. I do know there is some Czech descendent along with a few other European countries but I only remember the one. His mother was 15/16 at the time and father was 17 I think. From what I’ve heard the parents were forced by their parents to give my dad up for adoption, but i’m not sure how factual that is. The nuns at the orphanage called him Andrew but I am uncertain if that was given by birth parents or not.
2351. Jilleldon4 : Born in Lakewood, Washington
Birth date is December 18th 1974
My birth name is Mary Marie Morrison
Birth Mother name is Cheryl (aka Cheryl Bangs)
Father name Tom Morrison last know place is Fort lewis, Washington. Person that contacted me on behalf of Cheryl Bangs is Karen King in King County, Washington
2352. Lanequiaw : I’m looking for my brother who was born Jan 1987 as Byron Anthony Owens. He was adopted in Bellingham,Wa but born in denver colorado.
2353. Jennyneuhauser : My name is Jenny Neuhauser‚ I was born in Spokane WA. June 9‚ 1979. My mom gave birth to another baby girl the following year on July 1‚ 1980‚ also in Spokane WA.‚ Her name given at birth was Jean Marie Neuhauser or Jeannie Marie Neuhauser. I’m not sure of the exact spelling of her birth name‚ or sure exactly what hospital she was born in‚ but I believe it was holy family or deaconess. I was told she was born completely deaf with no chance of ever hearing. My 20 year old son was also born with no hearing whatsoever but he was able to develope some hearing but he doesn’t speak regularly‚ he is communicates fluently speaking sign. Bottom line is‚ I want to know you‚ you are my sister and I love you. Mom loves you too. Please don’t think that we don’t love you‚ mom needed alot of help raising me because she was alone and our grandparents mainly grandpa who refused to bring another baby home because I was already living with them. Grandma is the only person who ever seen you. She said you were really cute and looked slightly darker in complexion. That’s all I know about you. It’s hard to pick mom’s brain for more info because it’s too hard for her to talk about without choking up to this day. She would literally be so surprised and so happy if I were to find you and surprise her. It would complete her every life fiver of being. Please get ahold of me so she can meet you she’s never once seen you it was too hard when you were born knowing she couldn’t take care of you the way she thought was best she is now 62 years old and just had a hip replacement surgery.
2354. LadyLeo777 : I am searching for my two older brothers who were allowed to keep in contact and if possible my my birth parents. My name was Crystal Lynn and the last name was brantley or something that sounded like it. I am not even sure if that is how my Nam was spelled. I was born in Spokane Washington. Both my brothers went to separate Foster homes I went to Mrs. Copley’s her daughter wanted to adopt me but in 1981 single women couldn’t adopt.
2355. Kaitlyn_Lechmann : My name is Kaitlyn M. Lechmann and I am 22 years old. I am looking for my adopted brother that was born to Melissa L. Lechmann (maiden name Strand) and Joseph Lee Lechmann.
