Searching For: Birth Mother, Medical History.
All Other Information: I am trying to find information on my biological grandmother. My mother's name is Deborah and she was adopted in 1951. She was born 3-5-1951 at Wilmington General Hospital in Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware. Deborah's (my mother's) birth certificate was signed by her mother as Carol Chase Maxwell and was witnessed by Richard Maxwell. Later it was discovered through the adoption papers that Deborah's biological mother's name was Carol Lee Chase. we know she was not married at the time she gave birth to Deborah and perhaps, falsified the papers in order to conceal her real name. According to the hospital reports, Richard Maxwell was spoken to be her brother, although he may have been Deborah's biological father. Carol was nineteen when she gave birth to Deborah (so born 1931 or 1932). Carol lived in Yonkers, NY (possibly born there). The adoption was arranged by a mutual physician between My mother's biological mother and her adopted mother. we know they stayed in the Newark, Delaware area for an unknown period of time. (Update) The birth mother was 19 years old at time of birth, born either 1931 or 1932. I do not know the birth father's age or birth parents eyes / hair color / height all unknown. Deborah's height is 5'6.5" tall, she has bluish / green eyes and blond hair.

All Other Information: Pretty much all my adoptive family has passed away. No one has ever given me any info. on myself or any clues. I asked my adoptive father for info, truths, records, anything he could give or tell me since I was then in my 40's. That was about 15 years ago. He just told me he knew nothing. Then went into his room, locked the door, gathered up any records and paperwork he had and took them outside and burnt them all that day. The only thing I have at all is a letter head bill from this attorney. Saying for costs: Orphans' Court proceedings State of Delaware - 2 birth Certificates. Billing date 10-3-1955. I am now 62 and still know nothing. I have many illnesses with one being extremely rare that I have no idea if this is genetic. Along with some other medical problems. I have had a 23andme dna test done and am in the process of having an Ancestry-dna. And more info needed, please ask or contact me. Thank you all so much.
