2941. Ericpersang1978 : His name is Owen. He was adopted through A Child’s Dream in Bremerton Washington. I’m his father Eric Persang and his mother is Carolyn Persang. At the time of his adoption her name was Carolyn Haats. I know the family we picked was from Columbus Ohio and they had a daughter who was about ten or so if I remember correctly. I was tore up at that time and it was 18 years ago so my memory of it is spotty. I just would like to meet him.
2942. Melanienicole : My name is Melanie I’m looking for my brother that was adopted at birth our mom Lori Nelson at time of birth was only 17 and our Grandparents didn’t approve and she wasn’t ready to get married to his birth dad Paul not sure last name my mom named him jr but I don’t believe it was his legal name he was born in Spokane WA at holly family hospital September 8‚1975 Ive always wanted to find him since I was a kid and would love to meet him
2943. OregonPI : Birth mothers name is potentially Kim who wrote letters through the adoption agency (Lutheran Services) in Spokane‚ Washington. Kim was born Sept 4‚ 1966‚ attended college for fashion merchandising and possibly had her baby at Fairchild AFB. Indicating her parent(s) were military. DNA matches bring strong connection to family names of Costello‚ Gosline and Cullity.
2945. MakailaLk : I was allegedly dropped off at a hospital‚ and born in federal way. the staff told my adoptive parents that the woman who dropped me off looked young‚ maybe late teens to early 20’s. I have been in contact with some bio family recently‚ but my mom is still a mystery.
2946. 4wheelinjunky : Looking for a white male born in Spokane Washington around 1989.
Birth mom’s name was Loree Shalda or Loree Boyd‚ was going to College at SCC and was about 25 years old at the time. I was also attending SCC but moved to Seattle in the spring quarter of 1989 and never returned.
I have dark brown hair with red facial hair and brown eyes. Loree was blond when we met but I believe her natural hair color was brown. I can't remember her eye color.
I don't know if the baby was put into foster care or adopted possible by some of Loree's family.
2947. Sethgilliahan : I am father‚ Seth Gillihan‚ to my daughter whom we named Keeley Jade Gillihan and was born at Kadlec Hospital in Richland‚ WA. Her mom‚ Anita McMillen‚ lost contact with her right after she was born even though she had all the documentation to keep in contact through open adoption.
Both of her grandparents lived in Richland‚ WA. Her maternal grandmother was Anita McMillen Sr and Ralph McMullen. Her maternal grandparents are Steve Gillihan and Maria Gillihan.
I have a genetic condition called neurofibromatosis I and my other daughter‚ Serenity‚ 10‚ was diagnosed with. My doctor told me he believed any children I had would also have it. I am not certain if this is true but that's what he told me.
I think about her every day and live in Kennewick‚ WA. Her mother lives in Missouri and said she lost all documentation about her. I have been reaching out wherever I can to find her. I hoped that as she turned 18‚ it would be more hopeful to find her.
