Adoptee’s Birth Mother’s name is unknown. The birth Mother’s parents and my Dad’s parents were close friends in Columbus‚ Ohio during the 1960’s to late 70’s. The birth mother was a babysitter to my Dad. My Dad and his babysitter messed around‚ and she got pregnant by him. Pregnancy was unplanned and a shock to her parents. There’s rumored family story that the woman’s parents may have forced her to move away to keep the pregnancy secret or they possibly forced her to put the baby up for adoption. I don’t know the babysitter’s name aka the Bio Mother’s name. My Dad was 4-6 years younger than she was. I don’t know any other details of anything besides that my Dad was between 13-16 years old‚ and the girl got pregnant by him between 1976-1979‚ and she was between 17-20 years old. The baby she birthed was supposedly a girl‚ and if the woman’s parent forced her to put the baby girl up for adoption after birth‚ it would’ve been sometime between 1976-1981 possibly. That baby girl would be my older Half Sister. My now deceased Aunt‚ my late Dad’s only younger sibling‚ told me this information a few months before she passed away. My Dad never mentioned this to me and he passed away in 2008. My Grandparents‚ Dad’s parents are no longer alive either...they previously passed away in 1997 and 2002. The birth Mother’s Mother was supposedly obsessed with my Dad’s Mother as her friend. She was very compulsive and liked to copy everything my Dad’s Mom‚ my Grandmother‚ did and how she dressed‚ etc.. The birth Mother’s Mother’s first name was supposedly Phyllis. Please email me at jaybugger six at Gmail dot com if you think you know who I’m looking for‚ or if you think you might be who I’m looking for. Thanks!
Adoptee’s Birth Father’s Name:
William aka "Jeff" or "Jeffrey" Muncy
Adoptee’s Mother’s Age at time of birth:
Between 16-22 years old
Adoptee’s Father’s Age at time of birth:
Between 12-16 years old
My relationship to the Adoptee:
Adoptee is my Half Sister
I’d like to meet my half Sister. She probably doesn’t know she even has any siblings‚ I’m not sure. Her Mother’s parents‚ (the Adoptee’s Grandparents‚) might have forced their Daughter to be sent away and demanded she give her baby up for adoption‚ IF she was underage at the time of her pregnancy‚ or shortly after the time of her baby’s birth. The Adoptee’s Father (my Dad‚) wasn’t informed until she was already sent away. Him‚ along with the Adoptee’s Mother‚ were separated shortly after both of their parents found out about them two being together intimately and her being pregnant. I’d like to know if the baby girl born was ever adopted out to a good family. I’d like to know about her current life and whereabouts. I’m interested in meeting her if possible. If anyone has any information please contact me at. Thank you‚ God Bless!
512. Jgirl6 : Seeking a half Sibling‚ we share the same biological Dad.
Birth Father’s last name:
Muncy
Birth Mother’s possible maiden first and last name(s):
Judy or Judith Jackson
Not sure of the spelling
Name of my half sibling at birth: Heather Jackson or her possibly last name given was Muncy
State born: OH but possibly WV or KY if Heather’s mom Judy moved there from OH and birthed her outside of OH.
Other info.:
Judy/Judith Jackson was born sometime between 1960-1969‚ and she was in a casual relationship with my Bio Dad and got pregnant with a baby girl sometime between Jan 1979-December 1984. She supposedly named her baby girl Heather. Heather would be my half Sister who’ve I’ve never met. I’d like to find both Judy and Heather if possible.
Please contact me if you think this information sounds like someone you know or if you think you might be who I’ve been searching for. Thanks!

I believe this was a closed adoption. I was not born until 11 years later.
518. Kermit75 : All that I was told was that you were born in massachusetts, and that you were raised by maternal grandparents possibly in Arizona. I’m your aunt and I am curious if you want to know us? My brother would be your bio dad. Not sure I he ever signed your birth certificate. He is still alive but was never told where you were and left things alone. And now he is not tech savvy at all so I am searching. You do have siblings. You’d be the oldest of 5 half siblings. My brother had 4 boys including you and 1 girl.

I am looking for my biological father, I am told his name is Jesse Hoffman but that could be untrue. I was named after him supposedly. He was a red head with beard and was a bike rider I think with a tattoo/s on his arm. My adoption took place in East TN. But I have no idea where he was born or where him and my mother even met. He just went with her, had me, and disappeared basically. Please help me find him, I may have other siblings to, and I’ve always just wanted to know.
523. Just1morejosh : I was born March‚ 5th 1983 at CAMC Memorial Hospital in Charleston‚ WV and placed for adoption with United Methodist Social Services of Keyser‚ WV. I believe my biological mother was approximately 23 years old at the time of my birth‚ but that may be incorrect. Due to WV’s very strict and confidential adoption laws‚ this is all I know. But I’d like to know more.
