1036. Wfdunlap : Due to COPD and lack of oxygen‚ I cannot remember dates well.
My name was Winifred Arend and I gave her the name Shawna Marie.

1037. DEBrich74 : My son was born at St Joseph Hospital & my Dr was Dr Michael Santer Sr. Dr Santer arranged the adoption. Dr Santer was catholic & had a couple that wanted a baby. I remember signing the adoption papers but I was very groggy. A man‚ that I assume was an attorney‚ gave me some paperwork & I signed them.
I would just like to see what kind of a man that my son turned out to be. I don’t want to upset him in any way. I’m 71 & I would just like to know about him.
