Topic : Searching for Birth Parents

Hi Amanda,

My name is Carol and I am a birthmom.  I have been happily reunited with my son for 12 wonderful years.  There has not been a time in his life that I didn't think of him.  Birthdays were especially hard for me.  You see I had my son for 1 1/2 years before I had to surrender him to adoption because I had no one to help me, familial or financially.  What I was making was not enough to sustain the both of us.  On his birthday I would find a place inside of myself and stay there with all my memories and the love I continously felt for him.  My son was born in 1970 in what was called the baby scoop era.  Thousands and thousands of us moms lost our babies through coersion.

Believe me your mom thought of you often.

I was born Jan 2 1970  My birthmother name was Lucille, she ws 41 at my birth.  I was born in Prince Georges county MD.  She had 3 other children, 2 girls and a boy.  I believe the boys name is David born in 1954.  She was divorced when I was born. My birth fathers name was Claude born in 1928 and he had a family with 3 children as well.   They were "friends".   He was never told about me.  Lucille worked for the phone company for 22 years.  She has since passed away.  I am searching for my siblings on both sides. 

Hello I am a 48 yr old female who was adopted.I was born in Chicago Ill In Cook County Hospital On 7/27/1960.. I could use  some information on my medical history and would like to meet  my siblings.

My Adoptive Mother is now deceased and my Adoptive Father has altimeters..I Know i have siblings  but don't know how to find them. I have a  sister  named Michelle (I was told she was a school teacher but Im not sure) and a set of twins  Tina and Gina and a brother  Harold all on my mothers side.. My parents were not married the name on my birth certificate says Varvell  for father but i have found him and he isn't my father.. and mothers name was Commerford. she was 15 when i was born. I know she has passed away .At one time  she contacted me  by phone we were to meet in Chicago  when I got there she wasn't there and it was a vacant lot. The police had no record of the last name i knew so she must have  married..if any one know of any information Please help me find them  Thanks   Debbie   edanddeb98@cox.net

I was 46 when I accidently found out I was adopted.  I am now 64.  I discovered that my adoption was private and the doctor and lawyer are both dead and so are my adopted parents.  Shock was my first emotion;however 18 years later I am mostly frustrated that the laws in my area are so wrong and outdated.  I am denied my personal identity because this was a private adoption after 1940; however, my records are sealed in the Freehold court house in NJ and also somewhere in the state house. This is a time when girls are selling their eggs and men  their  sperm to strangers and I am denied my own personal identity including my medical background.  Everytime I go to a doctor it angers me because I have to put down 0 when they ask for my medical history.  THIS IS WRONG!!!! and totally unfair.  I am tired of hearing about everyone's rights when, infact, as a human being 64 years old I am denied my personal identity.  My side of the family tree is always empty. 

I was born on August 13, 1974 in Aiken county hospital at 4:45pm. 

My delivering doctor was Dr.Clovis Pierce.

Days after I was born my birthmother had a tubal ligation.

My adoption was private-through Williams & Johnson law firm in Aiken.
