My birth name was Patricia Ann -Rue Bane‚ witch was changed to Gabrielle Anares Hurt and my birthday is Oct. 1‚ 1969. I was told by my parents that I was born in a mental hospital in Richmond‚ Va.

1024. MWORSTELL : ISO BIRTH PARENTS. I AM A FEMALE BORN AT CABELL HUNTINGTON HOSPITAL 4/28/73. I WAS TOLD THAT MY BIRTH MOTHER MAY HAVE HAD 7 OR 8 CHILDREN BEFORE ME AND MAY HAVE BEEN FROM WAYNE WEST VIRGINIA OR SURROUNDING AREA. I AM 5 FT 8IN WITH DARK BROWN HAIR. MY EYES ARE HAZEL GREEN & HAVE AN ALMOST AMERICAN INDIAN SHAPE & I HAVE AN OLIVE COMPLECTION. MY ADOPTION WAS A CLOSED ADOPTION AND ACCORDING TO MY ADOPTIVE PARENTS THE ADOPTION WAS FINALIZED IN IRONTON OHIO. WE RESIDED IN PROCTORVILLE OHIO AT THAT TIME. MY ADOPTION WAS A PRIVATE ADOPTION W/ ONLY AN ATTORNEY INVOLVED. NAME UNKNOWN. ACCORDING TO MY ADOPTIVE PARENTS THEY RECEIVED A CALL FROM THEIR ATTORNEY & HE STATED THAT THERE WAS A WOMAN IN LABOR THAT DID NOT WANT THE CHILD & IF THEY WERE INTERESTED THEY SHOULD COME TO THE HOSPITAL IMMEDIATELY. FROM THAT POINT THEY HAVE NO FURTHER INFORMATION OTHER THAN THEY TOOK ME HOME & A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER THE ADOPTION WAS FINALIZED. I WENT HOME W/O A NAME & WAS A WEEK OLD BEFORE THEY COULD AGREE ON A NAME FOR ME. MY THOUGHT IS IF I TRULY HAVE THAT MANY SIBLINGS THEY MUST HAVE WONDERED WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BABY THEIR MOTHER WAS PREGNANT WITH & WHY I NEVER CAME HOME. I AM VERY CURIOUS AS TO MY BACK GROUND & HERITAGE AS WELL AS MEDICAL HISTORY. I HAVE AN 8 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER THAT I WOULD LIKE TO PASS THIS INFORMATION ON TO IN THE FUTURE. I HAVE TO SAY THAT IT WAS THE BEST DECISION MY BIRTH MOTHER COULD HAVE EVER MADE. I HAVE A WONDERFUL FAMILY WHOM I LOVE VERY MUCH. THEY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN VERY OPEN WITH ME & I HAVE KNOWN I WAS ADOPTED SINCE I WAS A YOUNG CHILD. THEY ALWAYS SAID I WAS A SPECIAL GIFT FROM GOD THAT MY BIRTH MOTHER WAS ABLE TO GIVE THEM. IF MY BIRTH MOTHER IS EVER ABLE TO READ THIS I JUST WANT TO TELL HER THANK YOU.
