Comments:My husband and I are looking for his birth mother. We do have a fair amount of information from her including a letter. We recently got a copy of the letter from his adopted mother and it once again sparked our interest in finding her. We have our second child on the way and would like to know his family/medical history. We know she was in her 20's and his father was 42. We know that he was born at his mother's house and that she held him in her arms and that he was the product of an affair. His father did not know about him until a week after he was given up for adoption. If he is out there and wants to know us we would like to find him too. He was adopted through the Children's Service Society of Wisconsin. The letter from his birth mother ends with maybe someday in the future or in heaven we will meet again.

Comments:I am searching for my birthmother. I was born in Cook County, Chicago and adopted through Lake Bluff Children's Home (now ChildServ) in August 1965. I know my birthmother had two sisters and was 17 at the time of my birth. I found my birthname on the adoption decree. I have a strong feeling that she named me after someone special in her life, but have had no luck so far. I am 38 years old and have been searching off and on since I was 16. I have tried to stop completely assuming that if she wanted to be found there are so many search websites that I should have found something from her by now. I even threw away all my search results three years ago. Well, here I am again, starting over, but not feeling as consumed with it. I will forever search but have accepted the possibility that I may never find her. I am told often that I "wear my heart on my sleeve". I grew up in a wonderful family but this is not something I learned. I believe this is a personality trait that I received from one or both of my birthparents. My concern for her is that she doesn't feel quilty for the decision she made and that she knows I went to a good home and never had to do without. I am very happily married and have two wonderful teenage boys. Found or not she will always have a piece of my heart.

Comments:
Your birth mother was raised primarily by her grandmother. While living with her grandmother, she attended school regularly, completed tenth grade and was reportedly doing well. For some reason, your birth mother had to return to her parent’s home and never finished high school. There is very little information in the file about your birth mother’s family. She had two older sisters. Your birth mother’s mother had “heart trouble” and your birth mother had an “on and off again kidney aliment.” Other than this, your birth mother stated that she knew of no inheritable medical conditions in either her family or your birth father’s.

At the time of your birth your birth mother was sharing a house with her parents. She was divorced with 5 children by her ex-husband. There was no mention as to how long she had been divorced but the file indicates your birth mother had had no contact with her ex-husband for approximately two years.

Your birth father was 24 years old at the time. He was married with two children. He is described as having black hair, blue eyes, an average build, and was 5’6” tall. There is no other information in the file about your birth father or his family. Quoting from the case notes:
“The loneliness of her life, in working so hard and trying to rear five children alone, and almost alone financially, played a major part in her becoming over-involved with this man. She had confided in no one and when she learned we(the agency) were not judgmental about it, she really felt relieved at being able to talk to someone who understood.”

Your birth mother worked in a manufacturing company until two days before you were born. Although the case notes describe your birth mother as “simple, plain, and uneducated,” the caseworker felt she had much native intelligence and a true concern for your welfare. Quoting from the case notes:
“The (birth) mother and (birth) father had not intended to marry and did not feel their attachment for one another was deep enough or strong enough to provide a good basis for a happy marriage.”

Place of Birth: Greenville, SC
I am: Adoptee
Comments: This is my non-identifying paperwork. The only other information I have is what is listed on my birth certificate which is the amended copy. The doctors name and time of birth.

Your birth mother was 29 years old when you were born. She was described as an attractive woman, 5’4” tall, weighing 140 lbs., with reddish brown hair, hazel eyes and a medium complexion.

Your birth mother was raised primarily by her grandmother. While living with her grandmother, she attended school regularly, completed tenth grade and was reportedly doing well. For some reason, your birth mother had to return to her parent’s home and never finished high school. There is very little information in the file about your birth mother’s family. She had two older sisters. Your birth mother’s mother had “heart trouble” and your birth mother had an “on and off again kidney aliment.” Other than this, your birth mother stated that she knew of no inheritable medical conditions in either her family or your birth father’s.

Your birth mother worked in a manufacturing company until two days before you were born. Although the case notes describe your birth mother as “simple, plain, and uneducated,” the caseworker felt she had much native intelligence and a true concern for your welfare. Quoting from the case notes:
“The (birth) mother and (birth) father had not intended to marry and did not feel their attachment for one another was deep enough or strong enough to provide a good basis for a happy marriage.”

Your birth mother was concerned that her ex-husband might use the knowledge of her pregnancy to try to take her other children from her or discredit her in some way. She was also concerned about her ability to financially support another child. Quoting from the case notes:
“…Even though it was difficult for her to sign consent, she was able to go through with it because she loved her daughter enough to want to do what was best for her, rather than what she herself might like. She realized she would not be able to provide for her baby the kind of life she would want for her. She was willing to make a personal sacrifice for her daughter’s welfare.”

After your birth mother released you for adoption, you were placed in a foster home for approximately two months before being taken into care by your adoptive parents in June of 1965. Three weeks after you were born, your birth mother returned to work and the agency had no further contact with her.

David Carl Allen was born <8-28-1970> at Highland Hospital, in Rochester, NY. To be honest, I wasn't sure if he was born at Highland or Northside(my sister that was in the labor room with me said Highland). I signed the relinquishment papers at the hospital about 5 days after he was born. I never got to hold him and I was allowed to see him 1 time(through the nursey window).
Stephen Louis Allen was born on 1-19-1969 at Highland Hospital, in Rochester, NY. I placed him in foster care a few months after I relinquished David. The relinquishment papers were signed in Jan, 1971. He was 2 yrs old at that time.
I want to find my sons so I can answer any questions they might have and give them any information they may want about their ancestry.
If anyone sees this and it looks familiar to you, please contact me!!!!

Walk in peace and have a Great Day.

Comments:What a whirlwind this last week has been! I have been reunited with my birthmother and I hope to find my birthfather soon as well. I feel so much more connected to not only my past, but to myself. The most amazing part so far? I remembered my mother. i was adopted at 8 months old and all my life I've had a picture in my head of what my mother looked like. I always thought I was just making it up. Then she showed me a picture of herself from that time. It was her. It was the woman I'd envisioned every time I thought about my birthmother. Sometimes dreams really do come true. Thank you.

Birth Name: Charles Henry Macdougall/Mcdonald
Gender: male
Place of Birth: Detroit Michigan
I am: Other Birth Family Member
Comments:I have been helping Charles only full sibling try to find out what happened to her only sibling. The sister Eileen was born in 1925. Shortly after Charles birth the baby went missing and no one has
been able to find a trace of him since. The parents were married in 1924 and when the mother
Catharine was pregnant she found out that her husband had another wife and family and so came the seperation of Catharine and Charles senior if that was truly his first name. When Charles senior
married Catharine he was using the name Mcdonald and when Catharine found out about the other wife
she also learned that the last name was Macdougall.
On the registration of birth the birth name is Charles Henry Macdougall. When this beautiful red headed baby went missing and with whom none of us
know his mother did not give him up for adoption he was stolen from her right at the hospital. So who ever took him we know probably took him out of state and which state that would be is anyones guess. Someone once asked me could the father have
done this and quite frankly I do not know. Charles
senior was never a part of his daughter Eileen's life. Catharine went to her death never knowing what happened to this precious son of hers. I also
leave the door open to Cathrine being told it was a boy only to perhaps find out it was really a daughter. also he was a few days old when this happened and remember that here was Catharine in 1928 without her husband and had a soon to be 3year old daughter and of cource she didn't have the funds to launch a search and I do not know why the hospital didn't do more to find this missing baby. Well Charles Henry were ever you are we your family want you to know that we never
have given up hope of finding you or finding out what happened to you. I am your cousin and your sister and the rest of this family love and miss you and missed out on 74 years of your life so far. I hope you are out there or someone has heard of you. Love your cousin and your sister, Sandie and Eileen

Comments:Dear Joann,
I cannot thank you enough for all you have done for me and my daughters. I have always been opened with my daughters about my son being put up for adoption,but never allowed myself to hope I would ever see him again. Shannon started this search as a gift of love and now many prayers have been answered. Your phone call on Nov.22 was a heart stopping moment. When I called my son at the number you gave me it was a very tearful conversation for my son and myself. To hear him call me Mom was the ultimate joy only to be topped when he walked through my front door on Dec.1,2002.
True the baby I held in my arms 34 years ago has grown into a 6'4" man, but I had to controll my impulse to want to count his fingers and his toes as I once did so long ago. When he put his arms around me and held me close I could feel his heart beat against my face and the rhythm of the beating matched the dance of my own heart. I felt the oneness being together as if we had only been apart a few months instead of years. He is a wonderful young man, no one could have had better parents than the couple that adopted my son. I will always be grateful to them. I am looking forward to the years that I will be able to share with my children all together. A terrible weight has been lifted from my heart. Thank you once again for the miracle you have brought into our lives.I am truly a very loved mother.
Sincerely, Denise Brown.

Comments:Hi JoAnne -

My adoptive daughter has significant medical problems that are inherited and we urgently needed to find her birth family. I have been looking for several years on my own with little success ... until you!!!

I am new to the helping hands of search angels, yet in only a few short hours you found my daughter's birth mother. Now we can give Becky's doctors some concrete information that will make a difference in her treatment. Thank you so very, very much from both Becky and myself.

Two weeks ago - thanks to another search angel - Cindy Porto - we also found Becky's birth father. He is really happy to be reunited and has sent Becky several letters and pictures and she told me last night what a thrill it was to look at his face and see hers looking back. Finding the pieces of the puzzle that should be the birth right of EVERY human being regardless of the situation of their upbringing - has filled that hole in her heart. Our family is very small but very close. Your help and Cindy's help has provided Becky with LOTS of people to love her now.

Thank you for being there - and for the important work that you do.

Comments:hello, I have found 2 people in my life so far. They are my children that were taken by their fathers. I am looking for my birth family now. and also an exhusband (for my other children)His name is Paul Robert Lebel born in Methuen or Lawrence Massachusetts. He moved to Oklahoma in 1979 that is where i lost contact with him. He had a criminal background. Date of birth 04-1957 give or take a month or so.

Now for me: Last name at birth was Genereaux,so i have been told. Bparents were young. Father abandoned my mother after 3 child was born. I was the middle child. Older brother Bryan and I were adopted by G.J.Ramagos in November of 1957 I was 3and Bryan was 5. Younger brother was not adopted at that time. Do not know his name or dob. My brother Bryan in now passed away. So the need to find someone who is my biofamily is very strong now. When Bryan and I were adopted my aparents were U.S. citizians in the US Air Force,being transfered from anchorage Alaska to Travis AFB in Calif. The only other information i have is our mother was a maid and was sick with TB so i do not know if she is alive. Thank you for listening.
Sincerely hope if anyone knows anything about this adoption would please come forward. I do not want to cause any trouble or pain. I just want to know WHO I AM.

I also hope that anyone in the adoption triad can someday find closure for themself. All the angles of God will help.
Love and hugs to all who read this. Linda

Comments:People from this site have already located my daughter for me and I am still waiting for contact from my son. I know where is he now, so there is no need to search anymore. I would just like to have a phone number for him. His a/mom said that she would contact him and encourage him to get in touch with me. I hope she does, but can't be sure. I sent a letter to him, but have no confirmation that he received it. Don't want to stalk him...smile...Afraid to keep bombarding him with mail that he may not want.

Comments:My BM kept me for 5 months before putting me up for adoption. My adoption was finalized 8/29/69. She was 15 years old at the time of my birth. I want more than anything to meet her and to tell her thank you for making the most difficult decision in her life. I had a wonderful childhood, but now I need to feel this void in my life. I am signing this guest book on my 34th birthday. I am filled with alot of pain, because I still don't know who I am and that hurts. If anyone can assist I would greatly appreciate it.

Comments:after being with your group for very few months, i found my birth family (mother's side) from your suggestion of registering w/ the ISSR, had wonderful reunions w/ big brother, mother and sister, now comes the hard part, i was given up for adoption because my mother found out when pregant w/ me that her husband was a bigomist, she already had been divorced w/ one child and had to be rescued by her father (circa 1949) who inturn convinced her to put me up for adoption ( i think my big bro was being raised by my grand father- no family conformation) my father's name is Earl Clinton Bass, he was an oil field worker, with (almost) a college education, he is half Cherokee, and from the southeastern most part of Texas- anyway he is my goal - i have a few more sinpets of history re- clint but i won't bore you Joann- get a Jack Russell, they will keep your life full and wondering- why anything has that much energy, thanks a zillion times again- couldn't have done it w/out you -nanc _

You are such a warm and caring lady.Through all of your help and patience you are definately an Angel here on earth!
Although I am "found" that unfortunately does not mean the search is over.I am still ISO answers that bmom will not give.She will not even claim me .It looks as if she intends to keep me her dirty little secret forever.Which denies me my siblings,medical info,and even the aknowledgement of being a part of her.
Thank you for all of your help!
