A Few of Our Members Currently Searching Within West Virginia Who Chose To Be Featured
391. KTanner138 : I had an Ancestry DNA test done. My older sibling supposedly died shortly after birth in Virginia. I have reason to believe s/he was born healthy, then stolen and sold on the black market in any state. A white baby born April 20, 1978 at Petersburg General Hospital in Virginia, but would be listed as born elsewhere. The hospital records were destroyed in a mysterious fire in the early 1980s. The birthday would have been changed, as would any other identifying information. She was born a girl, though my parents "were not allowed" to see the baby after birth. My mother heard her baby crying healthily from the other side of the curtain after her forced scheduled 8am c-section, 8:20 something was the birth time. It is possible it was really a boy. The doctor informed my parents of the "death" 90 minutes later at 10am. He insisted on never seeing the baby due to the grotesqueness of her. She supposedly had complete anencephaly, missing basically her entire head that never formed. A baby cannot cry without a head to cry from, missing vital structures essential for that bodily function, let alone survive 1.5 hours. There was a closed casket memorial service, nothing more. The death certificate listed time of death in the 3am hour of April 20th, 5 hours before s/he was actually born. The time has also been altered in some way on the certificate.There is no telling what other information was changed, and to what extent. False birth information would have been provided to vital statistics, around the same time the false death information was submitted on April 24, 1978. The baby would have been adopted soon after by a family that thought it was an honest, closed adoption from a young, unwed mother. This would result in false information given to the child later on. In a nutshell, I am looking for a white adult born early-mid 1978 that believes the wrong facts about their biological parents, adopted in anywhere USA. I have no clue as to where to start my search. Our family genes are strong. A boy would look like my grandfather, father, brother, and nephew. A girl would like like my grandmother, mother, daughters, and myself. I only hope to find the truth before it’s too late. My entire family, parents and grandparents, have passed away. My younger brother knows no more than I do. There is simply nobody left to collaborate with. Thank you for listening. Whether you feel this could be yourself or not, I wish you luck in your own search.
392. NikkiG1972 : Searching for birth mother. I was born 07/30/1972 at Ohio Valley General Hospital in Wheeling WV. I believe she was the oldest of several children and in college at the time, however, I’m not positive. I think that she was petite (5’1" or 5’2") and may have been from Ohio. Again, any info I have has never been verified, so I’m not sure it’s correct.
393. BeckaKirch : Birth Mother’s maiden name - Dolores Bates
Got pregnant in high school
Went to a home for unwed mother’s
Lived near Downingtown‚ PA
Approx birth year. 1954
394. Kedari : I am attempting to find a relative of my wife, this is very important to her. The relative was Cherokee Indian and was adopted at birth. We know nothing more than her name at time of death which is Opal Miller-Neighbors. Any info is very appreciated.
397. Nightwing54000 : The thing I know is that my adopted mom is Carole M. Judd and my adopted father’s name is Phillip Judd. I don’t know know the name of the hospital I was adopted from or even who was name of the doctor that helping delivery me to my birth mother at the time of my birth. The only other thing I can remember is that my adopted mother named Carole M. Judd had to me about my birth is that I was born during sometime during morning and night time and that it is all the information I basically know alright.
399. Sandyboo : I found out after my mom passed away that she had given a child up for adoption when she was around 17. I know the adoption took place in West Virginia and the child was male. I don’t have much other information but am holding out hope!
402. Jpthompson : Adopted from hospital in Huntington, WV - no knowledge of birth parents or possible siblings, raised briefly after adoption in the Beckley and Bluefield areas, may have had a foster family for a brief time between birth and adoption
403. Sshowers89 : I am searching for my step-mothers birth parents or family. She was born June 8th 1955 in Waterloo Iowa. She was adopted by Wilbur and May Olson. Please contact me if this sounds familiar.
404. WhitneyFamily : Searching for a sister born in Dyersburg, TN to single mother. Mothers maiden name, Whitney. My sibling was born between 1962 and 1965.
405. Emilymae29 : I would love to find my older half-brother! Our father and your mother were both from Michigan and I think you were born in the late 70s / early 80s. I think your adoption took place in the southeastern US, and your moms name may have started with the letter V.
