Adoptive Fathers Name: ? Email Address: nomeldmaia@yahoo.com Searching For: Adoptee, Birth Sister All Other Information: My name is Linda Doyle and I am searching for a half-birth sister. My mother Helga Pedersen Woods died in 1998. I am not sure if the woman she gave birth to even knows she is adopted and don't want to disrupt her life if she is still alive or her children's lives if she isn't. I only know that my mother gave birth to her in the later part of the year in Northern CA. I believe it was in the San Francisco area. I know she married my birth father on 12-1-1940 and the child was born not too long before this. I was told that my birth father tried to get the child back but it was too late and she was already adopted. My birth father Lewis Woods was not the biological father. (Update) Birth mother was 24 years old at time of birth. 5'2" tall, with blue eyes and blonde hair, until early 20's then turned to brown. All I know about birth father is that he was a married man. I did hear that her adopted parents owned a store and they lived above it or behind it and they may have lived in Northern California.

My mother was enrolled at Stanford in her Junior year when she became pregnant and her mother, Rosetta Chapin Pitts Pauls, a County Nurse in San Luis Obispo, put her in a home for unwed mothers, probably Catholic, and the baby girl was adopted. I found this out after my mother passed away from my father-it is not his child. If my mom's first name is on the Birth Certificate she could have used a different first name-Jene or Patricie. Maiden Name is Pitts. Growing up I always knew her as Patricia Jean. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I was the youngest of five and the only girl. My brothers are 4 angry men. They have no knowledge of this information. She could have given birth in San Francisco County or San Luis Obispo County. I believe in angels. (Update) My birth mother was approximately 20 years old. 5'9" tall, with blue eyes and blonde hair. I am 5'5" tall.

She had a 26 year old sister who was a teacher (Dorthy Kane or Theresa Malisky) Her mother was 61 and born in Ohio. She was a teacher. Catherines's father died at age 55 after an appendestomy. He dad been born in Ohio. My father was studing law and had been born in Flint Michigan on 7-15-1916. He was unaware of my birth.

My grandmother lived all through California and I'm not sure exactly where her and the birth father met. I found a class ring from 1938 and I believe it is from Herbert Hoover High School in Glendale, CA. The initials W.G.F. and the ring's year are my only clues so far to find my Aunt whom I've never met. Everyone in the family was very hush-hush about the adoption until after my grandmother's death in 1996. Finally little clues and snippets of stories came out and I got curious. Then to find the class ring in my grandmother's "special jewelry" box. My grandfather had never graduated high school so I know it couldn't have been his. I would like to find this woman or find out anything about her so that, if she even wants to make contact, she will know that there is a part of her birth family she's never known about. My grandmother may have listed her race / ethnicity as only white because her father made sure no one found out they were native american to make sure they weren't taken away to government schools. She also may have listed the tribe name (Wintu or Wintun). Date Received: 12-11-2012 Date Posted: 12-11-2012 Last Updated: 12-11-2012

There were rumors that the birth mother lived with them while pregnant with my mother until she gave birth. She may have been a young struggling actress working at MGM that got pregnant. In those days, those things were kept very hush hush. There were no lawyers, this was all done black market under the table adoption. There were two birth certificates found and one was dated on the 15th of August and one on the 16th. We are not sure if this was a typo or she was actually born on the 15th and adopted on the 16th. All records were sealed at the hospital and were never allowed to be unsealed. Maybe they have lifted that mandate in California in recent years, but my mom tried for years to find her family. It has always always been obvious that my mother had English skin and had strong English genes. my mother passed away 2 years of cancer at age 64. She may have half siblings.

(Update) John Francis Egan is about 5'11" tall, with blue eyes and light to medium brown (thick and naturally curly hair). My grandson took a 37 Marker Y-DNA test thru myFamilyTreeDNA. The results put him in Haplogroup I-M223; Genetic Distance "1" had 8 of the 9 matches with a surname of "West"; the very first surname was "Speir". The rest of the listing is predominately "West" and various spellings of the surname "Spear, Speer, Speir". They all seem to originate in Sampson Co, North Carolina; Columbus Co, Georgia; Kentucky, Maryland in the USA and England/United Kingdom.

I was told the woman was alone in the apartment with several other children. Of course my grandmother took the baby home. That baby was my mother. She was named Maudeen / Maudine Sue Dearmore. (I'm unsure of the spelling of first and last names). She was later renamed Johnnie Sue Stevens after my grandfather. When my grandparents later tried to contact the woman to make the adoption official, they found that the woman had moved and they lost contact. My mother wasn't officially adopted until she was 7 years old due to abandonment. My grandmother had told me this story several times, had told me my birth grandmother's name and had even given me "papers". I was young at the time and didn't realize the importance of her gift. I've forgotton my birth grandmother's name and the "papers" have been lost. I've recently become very interested in history and genealogy but i'm lost because I don't where I came from. My mother was adopted and I don't know who my own birth father is so, finding my birth grandmother would help solve the big question of where I'm from. Any information would be greatly appreciated. (Update) I don't know Johnnie Sue's birth parents' birthdays or height. Johnnie Sue's present height is 5'1" tall. (Update) Johnnie Sue was born with brown eyes and blond hair that has turned brown.

All Other Information: Looking for my fathers biological parents. He was born approx on 7-9-1945 in Modesto, California. What I have been told is that he was born to a young mother who's family had a Dairy Farm. He was born prematurely, weighed only a few pounds and was believed that he wouldn't survive. His biological mother was not allowed to keep him. Her parents wanted her to give him away as she was a young single mother and the baby was very unhealthy. My understanding is that the biological father was in the military. He was born in California then brought home to live in Oklahoma. Im only wanting to know my fathers biological family as I am an only child (though now a 36 years old adult). I miss my dad and just want to know my birth family. (Update) I was told that the birth mother was young, possibly 16. I have no other info regarding her nor the birth father. Walter Nipper had wavy, sandy blond hair and green eyes.

All Other Information: The adoptee is my father. I am searching for my biological grandparents aunts uncles or cousins. (Update) I have absolutely no information on the birth parents as far as their age, looks, ethnic backround, or birthdates. However, on my father's court papers when he was adopted it said that his name was Dennis Lemke Brown aka Dennis Lee Brown. We have always assumed that his mother's name was Lemke and his father's name was Brown. As far as I know he was born and adopted in the city of Los Angeles in LA County, in California. My father is about 6' and had dark skin (for a white person), dark freckles, and green/brown/hazel eyes. He has a birth mark on his lower back in the shape of an oval. It is large enough that it would have been noticable at birth. We suspect that his biological parents were from Texas because that is where his adopted father was from but moved to LA to be a police officer. He died when my dad was 5 so we have no other information. His adopted mother died a few years back and refused to ever talk about it. The story was that my dad's real mother was young when she got pregnant from her boyfriend who died in WWII. I imagine she had to have been 16-19 when my father was born. The story my father was told was that his father was a pilot. It was never mentioned why they were not married except that she was young. The two last names and aka support the story that they were not married. My father was the only child his adoptive parents ever had and now he has been missing for nearly 15 years. I would very much like to get in touch with family and try to piece my history together. I am hoping there were at least half-siblings that would have cousins a little younger than myself. (Update) The adoptees hair was red at birth. Date Received: 5-3-2012 Date Posted: 5-8-2012 Last Updated: 5-16-2012

Sometime later his birth father showed up and moved in with his sister and brother in law and helped take care of him. 6-?-1947 he hung himself in the basement of the home. Dorothy came back to claim James after that point but then went away again. That is when Shirley and Wallace adopted James. I have pictures of his birth mother and Birth father but have had no luck finding any information about Dorothy. I would like to find her or her desendents to learn more of where I came from.

Scofield Email Address: drnsjohnson@xmission.com Searching For: Birth Parents, Medical History. All Other Information: I have very little information on my birth parents. My adopted parents are both deceased and I recently found a piece of paper that looks as if it were the bottom part of some type of agreement. It has a line with "Mother's Name" typed under it and the signature of Bernardyn Charteris in what appears to be a left handed signiture above the line. To the bottom left of the paper is typed Witnesses to Signiture: followed by two typed ;ines and the signitures of what appears to be Arline Heine and Heinrich Heine signed on each line respectively. On the outside of the envelope that also contained a birth certificate with the the issue date of 6-18-1946 inside, written in my adopted mother's handwriting was as follows: Edyth (My God Mother, Edyth Wood, Please Examine Carefully! Remove to Your own Vault without mentioning... That is all she wrote but knowing how secretive my adopted mother was, I am sure she meant "not mentioning anything to Nancy.! I do know that my adopted mother knew a lot more than she let on. She told me when I was in my late 30s that supposedly my birth father was an attorney in San diego in practice with his brother who was overseas in the service during the was. His brother's wife remained in San Diego and the two of them got overly friendly one night and I was the result. And I needed to go before my father's brother was discharged from the service. I was born on V.J. Day so I guess my bith uncle was stationed in the Pacific theater, but really don't know. This is all my mother ever told me re my birth parents and to me it sounds like a neat story to base a '40s movie script on. But I am exceptionally smart, extremely logical, and can argue any point cogently and clearly refusing to give in to other people's attempts to use manipulation, insults, or threats to get their way. I am a psychologist with a Ph.D. but had I taken Political Science at the beginning of college instead of my senior year two semesters before graduation, I probably would have chosen Law instead. I was invited by the prof of the Poli. Sci. class to take Constitutional Law the following semester because I did so well in the required class. Otherwise, it may just be a story from my adopted mother's very dramatic imagination. My adopted parents divorced when i was 4 years old and I did not see my father again until I was about to graduate from college. This was at my mother's request, as according to her, it would be better for me if I could forget my father. As if I ever could! He told me that I was actually his biological child from an affair he had with a woman he met while working in Arizona. Because of all of his contacts with physicians through his business, he said that it was easy enough to get one of them to deliver me and pass me off as just a baby the doc had found who was up for adoption and never let my adopted mother know the real origin of my birth. I found this story to be such a horrible betrayal of my mother that at age 19, I almost successfully commited suicide.It wasn't untilI had the above conversation with my adopted mother in my late 30s that I ever had the nerve to tell her what my Dad had told me. She said that it was a total fabrication on his part! and then told me the brothers who were San Diego lawyers story. So I am confused and unsure of what is and isn't the truth. I have three daughters, two of whom are married, and one just became engaged. Before they begin to have children, I feel that I have a responsibility to find out as much as I can about my own biological background as I can. Also, finding that scrap of paper in the envelope with my birth certificate has piqued my own curiosity as well. I would like to at least know what nationalities I come from and something about the background of my birth parents. The only thing I ever wanted to do re the two of them was to thank them for their unselfishness in giving me up for adoption and to let them know that I had turned out well and they could stop worrying and be glad of the choices they had made on my behalf. I would appreciate any help anyone could give me in finding them at this late date. I am writing this on my oldest daughter's 32nd birthday. She was! married on 6-23-2007. Thank you.

So my dad, many years later when he started working, had to go through a bunch of stuff to get a social security card in his name Flaherty. My dad was adopted supposedly from a Catholic orphanage in Sacramento California as an infant. My grandparents lived in Oakland, California Alameda county. That's all we ever knew.

Email Address: april29.1946@yahoo.com All Other Information: Searching for information on my mother's birth mother or other relatives. She was adopted as an infant then given up by the couple who adopted her. She was 2 when her adopted parents adopted her. There is a family story that said she was the daughter of an affair between a man named Tritt who was the conductor of an orchestra in Pasadena, CA during WWII. According to the story, her mother played in the orchrestra. I do not know if there is any truth to this story or not. (Update) Non-ID My mom's birth mother was born in Rhode Island. She said she had only been in California for 2 months when she had my mom. She was 25. The doctor who delivered my mom tried to get more information out of the birth mother, but she wouldn't say much. The woman said that most of the information she was giving my mom was pulled from her brother's file, who was born and given up for adoption 10 years after my mom was born. She had a daughter who lived with her who was 5 years old when my mom was born. She had been married twice. Her first marriage lasted "3-5" years. She had been divorced for 4 years when my mom was born, however the name of her first husband is on my mom's birthcertificate. She married or shacked up with another man either shortly before or after my mom was born. Her father died at age 65 in an auto accident. He was employed as a electrician and musician. Her mother died of "cancer." The file states that it is unclear if my mom's bio-parents were married. Physically she is described as being 5'1" tall, 150 lbs, wore glasses and had a "sallow complexion". In my mom's file she said she had never been married. In my mom's brother's file she stated the marriage above. In my mom's file she said she only had a 10th grade education because she dropped out of school due to illness.. In my mom's brother's file she said she graduated from highschool. My mom has at least 4 siblings that are mentioned. (Listed below which approx. ages based on my mom's birth in 1946) Since there is only one other file in Sacramento, I'm guessing she kept 3 of her children. There is mention of "common law marriage" in regard to both of the sons in my mom's brother's file. It also said she was employed as a domestic and nurse. So now what do I do with this information? Where do I look? Mother: English Birthplace – Rhode Island 25 years old in 1946 10th grade – left because of illness Domestic/nurse – nanny? Physical - 5’1" tall , 150 lbs, sallow complexion – wore glasses Interests: woodworking & embroidery Music – piano, but was no longer interested in playing Were birth parents married: “unclear”. Extended family: Father died age 65 – auto accident. Employed as electrician/musician. Mother died: age 62, cancer. Marriages of birthmother: married twice. First marriage, divorce…3-5 years. Divorced 4 years at time of divorce. Married or shacked up shortly before or after mom’s birth. Siblings: Sister: 5 years older than mom, approxementally. Normal health, lived with birthmother. Sister: 5 years younger than mom. Brother: 8 years younger than mom. From common law marriage. Brother: 10 years after mom. From common law marriage. Placed for adoption. BM stated she put the child up for adoption because there were “no alternatives for her. Felt that adoption was the best plan.” (Update) Oh...the letter also said the birth mother was an only child.

Adoptive Fathers Name: ? Email Address: thomasmatthews49203@comcast.net Searching For: Adoptee, Birth Half Brother of Thomas H. Matthews All Other Information: Thomas H. Matthews was given up for adoption at birth. Adopted in Jackson, Michigan in 1947. Birth parents, birth mother age 16 was Dolores Marie Hicks and birth father William Thomas Smith. Both attended and graduated from Venice High School, Orange County, California in 1947. Tom found his adoption papers after both adoptive parents died. The Court in Michigan were mystified as to how he had the paperwork that he had because it was a copy of the actual adoption papers. We had his birth mother's name and her guardian, which was her sister that lived in Jackson, Mi. The birth father's name was not on the paperwork. We had both registered first with Ancestry.com and later with 23 and Me. First tracking down his birth mother's sister's family we were able to find three half birth siblings on his birth mother's side and in the two years since we started, we are developing great relationships with them. We were included in the family scattering of his birth mothers ashes in 2-?-2019. The search for paternal relatives was more difficult because of no name, only non-identifying information. Eventually a probable niece was identified on 23 and Me and that lead us to a half-birth sister, the mother of the niece. We have connected up several times via phone and e-mails. She verified her birth father was William Thomas Smith, born in 1930 in Orange County, California and that he had graduated from Venice High School there was one other sister and two brothers that did not wish to have any communication with us. Through this sister we learned through a story her mother, Janet S. Coyle, that her father "had been married previously" before he married Janet Coyle. From this marriage a baby boy had been born, while William T. Smith was in the Marines and in Korea / She has a picture of a young woman holding a small baby and on the back of the picture it was written "Billy, has never seen his dad who is in Korea". The marriage did not last. When Billy's mother remarried, her new husband wanted to adopt him and William Thomas Smith gave up parental rights. the name of the ex is not known nor is the name of her husband. We are new at this search and do not know how to do everything. Things we have done are to search the California and Nevada marriage lists, also the divorce records and have found nothing for William Thomas Smith, prior to his marriage to Janet Coyle 8-25-1956. I have found no birth of children with William Smith as the father besides the four children in California that we are communicating with one sister. I tried to check military (Marines) to see if any allotment payments were being made to support someone while he was overseas but that became very confusing. We did not have his military id numbers. We have done all we know how to do and feel unless "Billy" joins one of the DNA sites of a relative of his does, we are at a loss. We would like to know if Billy exists. We would like to gain medical information and also share some of what we have learned. We know his father had brain surgery for a stroke or aneurysm and died from complications 2 months later in his late 50's. He was a "bad" diabetic according to his daughter. He liked to drink alcohol and he was a policeman. He was built like a football player and played the game in high school. He was an only child. We would also like to know him or his family. We are family oriented people and enjoy sharing. (Update) William Thomas Smith graduated from high school in 6-?-1947 at the age of 17 years old. He was born 1-20-1930. Probably entered the military by 1948-1949. Marines. If he did marry, assume he was in the military 4 years about 1952-1953 discharge. Married Tom's half sibling's mother in ?-?-1956. So possible age of his adoption by his mother's new husband about age 3 or 4 years old, maybe adopted between ?-?-1952 to ?-?-1955 ?. Birth mother in the picture I was shown, was about 18-20 years old at time of birth. Birth father estimate would be age 19-20 years old at time of birth. Nothing known about birth mother. Birth father according to what the courts told my husband, was 6’0” tall, 200 lbs., with blue eyes and dark curly brown hair. Though Toms's half sister said her dad did not have blue eyes. I located the draft card for his father, William M. Smith and it showed he had a dark complexion, eye color was grey, hair black and height was 5’10” tall. This was at the time of World War 11. I could not find a drat card for William Thomas Smith. Also we were told he was of the Catholic faith, had earned a scholarship for engineering, though Tom's half sister did not know about this. His father was a retired police officer as was his mother's father. He grew up in Venice, Los Angeles, California. Do not know if he met Billy"s mother here or where he might have been stationed in the States during the service Adoptive parent would be the new husband of Billy's mother, name unknown. Today I found a possible Military ID number for William Thomas Smith. but do not know if it is correct. It shows this William T Smith was in the marines from 1950 to 1954 He spent time in Cherry Point, North Carolina, and his ID number was 52322 He was from California, the right age and in 10-?-1950, he was with Station Aircraft Engineering Squadron 46. Muster date was 4-?-1954. We connected up with niece Andrea Smith on Ancestry.com. It is her mother Pamela Smith that is Tom's half sister. Her father is William Thomas Smith and she is the one that has passed on some information to us. This is all the information I have at this time but I am still searching. Thank you.

All Other Information: My mother is 59, she received a box of letters that her "mother" had written in ?-?-1946 and ?-?-1947 that never mentioned being pregnant or having a baby. she speaks of a lawyer from Texas (where adoptive parents are from) and money in the letters, but never a baby. her half sister told her when she was a child that Lola Mae Griffin was not her mother. Lola Mae could not have children we have heard due to a tubular pregnancy. my mother looks like her adoptive father, Johnny E Griffin. Lola Mae's family said that they never knew my mother existed until Lola died and my mother was 7 years. Johnny worked in Las Vegas or maybe they moved there just for the adoption. there was an affidavit of birth in November 1954, two weeks after Lola Mae griffin died. the affidavit was submitted by Johnny Ernest Griffin and the attending doctor. Lola Mae Griffin was not my mother's birth mother and that she was adopted, BUT that Johnny E Griffin is the birth father. She also may have been born in California, possible Medura. Apparently, my grandfather was dating a woman in California and then met Lola Mae Griffin and they married. When he went to officially break it off with this other woman, she was pregnant. Since Lola Mae could not have children, Johnny asked the girl if she would give them the baby. She was distraught by the breakup and agreed to let them have the baby or so the story goes. So, maybe Madera was the hospital or maybe since Lola Mae and Johnny were living in Las Vegas, she came there to have the baby. Alton said that he saw a picture of the birth mother and that she had sandy blonde hair. I hope that helps in some way. So, Johnny E Griffin is the birth father and the adoptive father also.

All Other Information: I am the daughter of Gary. Gary is still alive and lives in Stockton, California. At this time my Dad is 72. In 2009, we were contacted by an unknown sibling named Cynthia Naboisek who also had Arva Johnson as her birth mother in 1952. While searching for her mother, Cynthia discovered her brother Gary (my father) through an attorney that helped her do research. Cynthia and Gary have different birth fathers. Cynthia missed meeting Arva by 2 years (Arva died). Cynthia gave me a few pages of poorly written notes of information. Cynthia said that her attorney found out that Gary's birth father was supposedly Arva's high school sweetheart form Waterloo, Iowa. Gary was adopted (physically) immediately after being born by his maternal Aunt, Florence, and her husband, Ramon (known by Lee). Arva was very young and returned to finish high school in Waterloo, Iowa. Years later Arva returned to California, moved to Salinas, married Ray! Adams of Salinas and assumed the role as Aunt to my father. I grew up believing Florence was my grandmother and Arva was my great Aunt. Gary was told of his adoption while he was in his 30's. We know of Cynthia's daughter Lucia in Alameda County. Partly legible things on the notes from Cynthia are Petn. filed 5-15-1950, granted 2-1-1951 #ALA3385Ad and the #111596. Weighed 3 lbs., 8 oz. at birth, 6 lbs., at release from hospital. No written information about Gary's birth father is in the notes and my "Grandmother", Florence, did not know who the birth father was, nor did anyone ever know about Cynthia until after Arva had died. Cynthia's birth father was Frank Joseph Valentino (married to another woman at the time) and also has passed. Date Received: 9-24-2019 Date Posted: 9-25-2019 Last Updated: 9-25-2019

SAN JACINTO Brown, William CTM LC 1942-43 Specialists (Q) (CR) Cryptographers - Established 1942-1943 changed to CT in 1948. 1948 Communications Technician - Established 1948 from the ratings of Specialist (Q) (Cryptographers), Specialist (Q) (Radio Intelligence), Specialist (Q) (Technicians), and Radioman. Cryptologic Technician (CT) is a United States Navy enlisted rating or job specialty. The CT community performs a wide range of tasks in support of the national intelligence-gathering effort, with an emphasis on cryptology and signal intelligence related products. Most CT personnel are required to obtain and maintain security clearances. Due to the highly classified and secure work environment requiring very restricted access, it is not always possible to share resources with other commands, leading to their shipboard nickname, 'spooks'. Almost every detail surrounding the CT world from administration to operations to repair requires dedicated technicians with appropriate security clearances (this accounts for the many branches of the CT rating, i.e. CTI, CTM, CTN, CTR, CTT). The contribution of an individual CT will depend upon the branch or career area. Members of the CT community enjoy a wide range of career and training options. Once trained, a CT might serve ashore, afloat or in an airborne capacity. (It is rare, but some have earned all three, i.e. dolphins, wings and swords over the course of a career.) A CT can expect overseas assignments of lengthy duration. Found: Muster Roll of the crew (Stamped Nov 13, 1942) U.S.S.

All Other Information: I found out I was adopted when I was 27. I am now 60. My adoptive parents told me that my birth parents were young and getting a divorce so decided to give me up. I would like to find out who my birth parents are, if I have birth siblings, and what my medical history is. There seems to be no information as to my adoption. My adoptive Father was an attorney and handled things very discreetly. I heard my adoptive Mother's doctor helped with the adoption. His name was Delbert Williams. His address at that time was 1151 D St. San Bernadino, CA. At this time my adoptive parents lived at 3395 Mayfield Ave. San Bernadino, CA. Registrar number on Birth Certificate is 2498. District number is 3602. Registrars name was Warren F. Fox, MD. I was born at 3:28 p.m. I was born on the same day as a friend I grew up with. His Mother's name was Dorothy Swing and his name was Robin Swing. It seems odd that Dorothy, who was a friend of my adoptive Mothers didnt know something about my adoption when she had a baby the same day in the same place as me. At one time there were adoption papers but they have disappeared. Is there a way to get a list of all boys born 10-13-1948 at the hosptial I was born and then see who gave birth to those children? I realize that adoptions this far back are sealed and hard to trace but would appreciate any help!

All Other Information: I have detailed "unidentifying information from The Cradle in Evanston, IL on birth mother and her family. Birth mother was 43 years old with grown children in their 20's when I was born at St. Anne's in Los Angeles, CA. She was separated from and had not seen her husband for many years. Another man who was my birth father denied paternity. Birth mother would be 106 so likely deceased and siblings in their 80's if still living. The Cradle has a copy of my original Birth Certificate but says they cannot release the information because my birth was / is under California jurisdiction. I would have to pay several hundred $ for them to do a search but if they come up with nothing or if they find someone who does not agree to share their identity with me - I am out both luck and $. I am so frustrated at how I feel like I am a pawn in the system and don't have the same basic right as most citizens of this country - the right to my true identity. My birth mother had me baptized on 4-1-1949 but so far, the Catholic Church in the neighborhood where St. Anne's still exists says they have to get permission from the Archdiocese and so far - nothing. The information from the Cradle does include all prenatal / postnatal records but they whited out my birth mother's name. I have visited St. Anne's and their records only go back as far as 1955. I was taken to a place called Castelar Creche in Los Angeles, CA until for 2 months (until I was taken to The Cradle in Evanston, IL) which no longer exists and I can find very little information on it. I can provide search angels with other details of the non-identifying information on request as it is too long to write here. Please help in any way you can. For me, identity of birth parents is important - possible contact with any siblings or their descendants less so. (Update) I am 5'5" tall, I have brown eyes and dark brown / black hair. My birth mother is listed as normal weight at 110 lbs and her height 5'2 1/4" tall. She was born in Mexico. My birth father was 32-years-old when I was born. He stood 5'8" tall, weighed 165 lbs. He had brown eyes and black hair, olive skin tone. He was a high school graduate and was employed as a Barber. He was from the Western United States. He was of Italian and Spanish descent.

All Other Information: Birth mother was 24 years old at this birth. She had a 7 year old boy (half brother to me), 2 girls who were 6 and 4 years old (half sisters to me), these lived with her. She also had a boy (half brother to me) 3 years old given up for adoption at birth, from a previous relationship of hers. There was also a half brother to me from my birth fathers marriage(to someone else). My birth mother had been married previously once and the marriage had been annulled. (I would presume this was during the 1940's due to her age and the year I was born). I do not know if there is a list of available info. reguarding annulments in CA ? during the 1940's. Birth mother had completed the 11th grade.(from my calculations this would be around 1942 plus or minus 1-2 years.) The physical discription given on the information disclosed about the birth mother is she was 5'4'' tall, weighed 105 lbs, wirth blue eyes and thick golden brown hair, fair complexion. She enjoyed shows, dancing, sewing, and embroidery. I have blue eyes and used to have light brown hair. Still thick, but now grey hair!The birth parents were not married to each other. While dating the birth mother found out the birth father was married and never told him of the pregnacy. He would not know he had this child. The birth mother had three sisters who were 19, 29,and 30 years at my birth in 1949. She had one brother who was 21 years. It was stated that the birth mothers parents were both 50 years old at the birth in 1949. Birth mothers father was previously employed as a chicken rancher. The birth mother's mother was previously a registered nurse. Birth mothers maternial grandmother had died as the result of diabetes. I have late onset diabetes. I was diagnosed last year. A maternal uncle had suffered from epilepsy. I was born full term at 6:55 a.m. and weighed 7 pounds. My adoptive father died when I was 6 years old. My adoptive mother died in 2001. After she died a relative told my brothers and I that all of us were adopted. While adoptive mother lived she very secretive. She said the adoptive fathers side of the family never wanted anything to do with us, but after her death when I contacted them, they were very nice, but the living ones had no information about the adoption. The sister of the adoptive mother that probably knew more, as she lived nearby and was close to adoptive mother never mentioned anything either. When researching the information I am pretty sure the other two brothers in my adoptive family were adopted from other parents, from what my brother told me before he died. The "baby book" from adoptive mother states the same day, but a different time, 4, at Hayward hospital in the city of Hayward as birth place.? The doctor she put down was "D.W.Steinberg". Weight! adoptive mother put as 6 lbs. 8 oz. 17" long. Birth mother stated that the birth father was 25 years old when I was born. I was placed in the home of my adoptive parents on 4-29-1949.Circumstances of placement adoption was arranged by a heighbor of birth mother. As stated by my birth mother, my birth father was 5'7'' tall, with a wiry build. I always was wiry, even to the point of adoptive mother seeing a doctor about it. Birth father had blue eyes and blond hair, a fair complexion. He had several siblings, liked the outdoors, horseback riding, and was employed as a ranch hand. He had completed "some" high school.Birth mother listed both as protestant. The information listed was that birth mother was a waitress. I have been told that sometimes info like this is just put so if they were a prostitute or such. I do not know. Also I have been told that birth certificates in CA can be altered in many ways so do not know if any info on it is acurate. I checked the CA birth index and found the birth mother name to be the name of my adoptive mother. Whereas my adopted sister (in my adoptive family) was listed with the original mothers name and then another time with her changed name and such. But all of us knew she was adopted. We were too old to keep that a secret, and she was my adopted brothers child so we already knew. My adoptive parents were listed as the petitioners with an address of 244 Peralta St., Hayward. On the "report of physician attending birth & child placed for adoption" paper the case number has been blacked out but there is a big handwritten "F" next to it. Name of mother is blacked out:name of child is blacked out.Attending physician is blacked out. This is a copy they have sent so no physical means of removing the blackening to see what is underneath. The bottom stamp on the page states "return to "state dept of social welfare", and "Market Street, San Francisco" is checked off. I have filled out a consent for contact and returned it. I do not think a court would unseal the record. My children do not know who their grandparents are. I would like to know answers, but if those with information do not want to "meet' that is fine, we do not need to. I want to know who I started out being, name wise, and my family history. Thank you.

All Other Information: I am searching for my father's birth family. He was adopted from the Odd-Fellows Home in Gilroy, California. The information is sketchy as he and his adoptive father have passed away and his adoptive mother has no recollection of anything. I was told that my father had a twin brother as well as several brothers and sisters. There was some talk of McDonald or Peeples as a family name but I'm not really sure. My father died young at 47 of an MI. I would really like to find his birth family as I have a child now and would like to share the joy of family with him. Thanks in advance for any and all help. Please Send any questions or comments via e-mail and I will get back to you.
