My mother (her biological sister) has recently found carries birth records, and birth certificate and has been searching for Carrie since she was twelve years old. We believe Carrie was fostered by a family with the last name swearingen and that is the last known family who had her. Carrie was placed up for adoption unwillingly, but I will go into that more with Carrie when and if I find her.
Her birth mother is now deceased but all she wanted was to find Carrie, so it is my goal to find her. We have so many questions as well as we just want to meet her!
312. Zabbiegirl78 : Looking for my half brother (related through my dad). My half brother was named Steven David (after our father) and his mother was Debbie or Deborah Mann. I was told that he was given up for adoption around the age of 2 years old‚ possibly to a distant family member. Deborah Mann has a sister named Deanna Mann. I was told that my half brother’s birth date would be around Sept 1976. I think my half brother was born in Utah but could be wrong. I have no other siblings and would love to find you!
