917. Prayingforamiracle : Looking for a Caucasian male born approx 4/16/1973 in KY. On April 16‚ 1973 (as told by a different uncle‚ so it may vary)‚ my paternal grandmother‚ Bonnie Church (Rickman)‚ gave birth to my uncle‚ Bobby (possibly Robert) Church. This happened in Eastern Kentucky‚ most likely the Ashland/ Greenup KY area. I am unsure of the hospital or exact town. I know it was Boyd County or GreenUp County. My grandmother had 7-9 children with my dad being the oldest and was 8 years old at the time Bobby was born. My grandmother’s children were all put into foster care because she could not afford to support them all. The 3 oldest‚ my dad‚ Jay Randall Church‚ aunt Brenda‚ and uncle Timothy were all eventually given back to my grandmother. However‚ Mark (a toddler) passed away when he was 3 years old. The rest of my dad’s siblings were adopted. Over time‚ my dad found his younger siblings‚ Michael‚ William‚ and Vickie (some sent to PA for adoption). We have never been able to find Bobby‚ who was adopted as an infant. My grandmother once stated‚ “He was a sick baby‚ maybe he died before he was adopted.” My dad spent his whole life trying to find his brother and was never able. Now that my dad has passed away‚ I am looking harder than ever. I took a DNA test last year and was unable to determine if any matches were relevant because there were no unfamiliar close matches.
918. Adraves93 : Linda Patterson is the name of the potential mother of my half brother. She would have been 13-16 years old at the time of birth. She went to Cedaredge High School in Cedaredge‚ Colorado.
921. Laurajbutler591 : Birth Mother was: Laura C. Buckley
Birth Grandparents : Arthur M. Buckley and Patricia R. Buckley
Her (the adopted) name at birth was Amy.
Born in Parkersburg‚ WV
I am her half sister. My name is Laura J. Stoops (Maiden) Butler (Married)
not only is she my half sister she is also my first cousin as she is the daughter of my Dads brother Austin Stoops.
I have been looking for her since I was in my late twenties. Our mother recently passed away and would never tell me anything about the adoption other than Judge Bean of Parkersburg‚ WV was the Judge who sealed the adoption.
922. Katherinkwright : My name is KatherineKWright. You were born January 3rd 1967 and I thought about you everyday of your life. I named you Ernestine after my mother. I hope you want to meet me as much as I want to meet you I'm 78 years old
924. Jrbrown1130 : I’m searching for my biological father. Genealogy and conversations with the family like have lead me here now that everyone (except the child placed for adoption in 1961) has been ruled out. He was placed for adoption by Sandra Jean Mason (Mason is her maiden name)
925. StephanieKinsey : Hi my name is Stephanie and I'm looking for my sister she was born in January 3rd 1967 to her mother Katherine Beatrice Baker. Our mother was born in Maryland on March 1st 1947 and lived in Maryland her entire life except when she was sent to a unwanted mother's home in Bluefield West Virginia to have her child‚ a little girl that she named at the time Ernestine‚ her mother. I know that she was born in the hospital in West Virginia and they said that this little girl was so beautiful. The grandparents were Cliff and Ernestine Baker from Chestertown‚Md.
929. Wickedtribe766994 : Looking for my older brother‚ whom I’ve never met. You were born between 1965-70. Likely adopted out of Tennessee or Illinois‚ but I am not positive. Your maternal birth mother’s last name is Heckmann. She named you Patrick‚ though that may not be your name today. Her family was very Catholic. You were likely born in the convent she sent to during her pregnancy. If this sounds like you‚ message me!
930. NestorBurgos : My name is Nestor Fidel Burgos (y Medina). My nickname is Ned. I was married to Elizabeth Mae Skidmore and we resided in Maryland in 1974 until at least 1983. I was in Maryland after that. We separated about December of 1982/1983 and she was pregnant at that time. I was born in San Juan‚ Puerto Rico July 13‚ 1950. Elizabeth (Liz) was born in Flushing‚ Queens‚ New York City‚ New York December 18‚ 1956. She passed away on February 18‚ 2003 in Dothan Alabama. At that time she was living with or married to Rodney Bryan Bolin. Liz and I had two boys‚ David (1975) and Michael (1977). I was told that Liz named our daughter Ann (after her sister). I believe she had two other children with Mr. Bolin. I do not know where she had our child or where she might have been given up. I do not know when she was born. Whoever you are... You are so very loved and wanted. You have family who only wants to know you‚ to love you‚ to give you love.
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.
