Mother was 18 yrs old (birthdate Sept 1963) and Caucasian (some indigenous heritage and relatives often had “Native American” heritage. Mother had dark brown hair and blue eyes.

Adoption name possibly Christopher
Birth Mother Name: Florence Williams
634. Kathryn17274 : Cabell Huntington hospital
Birth name was Katie may, adopted name is Nina Kathryn. Adoptive parents first names are Tom and Suzanne. Her sister’s name is Helen
638. Catieann : I was born on September 30, 1972 at Ohio Valley General Hospital and Wheeling West Virginia. The adoption was Through the Burlington Methodist children’s home
639. Demitra1982 : I do know I was born at Wheeling Hospital in Wheeling, WV on 3/31/1982 at 12:01 am. My mother was 17 at the time and her name is Melissa Morgan. I have no I for nation on my father except he was 22 at the time, born in South Abadan, Iran and came to the country in 79 I believe. Melissa movers to Orange City, Fla and hasn’t been heard from since. Any help is very welcomed
641. KenaBelle : I was told my twin brother had been a still born but deep down had a feeling I was lied to, and he is still alive, so I done some digging. (I no longer have any contact with any of my biological family) I called my local courthouse, and they had no record of a death certificate but had a record of his birth certificate but had said that it was no longer valid because his name had been changed but they couldn’t access it because he wasn’t around where I am from. So, I made some more calls doing a statewide search and was told the same thing He’s out there and I know it.
642. Sew83090 : I am trying to help find my husband’s biological father. His birth mother’s name is Rhonda White. She does not remember the father’s first name, but his last name is Fulks. He is African American or Bi-racial. He was in a branch of the military, she thinks it was the airforce. He would have been stationed in Charleston in 1986-1987, as my husband was born in 1987. He lived at the apartment complex that Rhonda worked at. They had a one night and it resulted in her getting pregnant. They were both married at the time, but her husband at the time was not my husband’s father. He was a white man and my husband is Bi-racial. My husband’s birth mom said that she believes the father had two other kids, possibly both boys. My husband is 34 now. We would really like to find out who his birth father is, so we can get health information, as we have a child of her own. And I would like him to have some closure. It is so frustrating to the little bit of information that we have, but not being able to do anything with it. He did 23 & me. He actually had a match to a first cousin twice removed with the same last name as his birth father. Unfortunately after talking to the cousin, they are in a similar situation that my husband is and doesn’t know their birth father. If anyone can help, we would greatly appreciate it.
643. U263934 : My father was born Sept. 28, 1950 in Austin, TX. He was white and his parents were white. There was the name of Albert Alsenz listed as his father but I think that might not be true. I am almost positive the mother was Alice Marie Lane Alsenz. Albert was born in 1911 in Brooklyn, NY and Alice in 1927 in Shandaken, NY. Both parents stated they had other children from other relationships either already adopted out or in foster care waiting for papers to be signed so they can be adopted. The only indication of where these children are is the mother said she had a child in foster care ’up east’ with the parents wanting to adopt the child which may have been a boy. The Alsenz’s lived in Austin, TX in 1950-1952 and in Kansas in 1956. The Kansas census has a Donald and a Jack Alsenz listed as being with them. I don’t think these were Alice’s children. I think they were the children of Albert and a Ruth Kniffen Alsenz Hartman Olsen now buried in New Orleans, and they were visiting with Albert and Alice, with Ruth being the person in charge of them. Let me know of any info, please, by sending a message.
644. AshleyErinCottrell : I was given up for adoption because my birth mother was basically still very young herself only in her mid teens when she got pregnant. I’m sure had a lot to figure out herself before being a mother. I was born at CAMC Womans & Children’s hospital in June 1995. Both of my birth parents was from St Albans, WV. My birth mother rode and owned horses.
645. Lopsidedrepair : I know my birth mothers name and that she was 16 years old when she had me. I was born at the Ohio Valley Medical Center at 2:09am.
I was matched with my birth mother just minutes after setting up my profile. It turns out that she had been searching for me for years. It's been a joy to connect with her and the rest of my biological family.
