Searching For: Biological Parents, Genealogy Records.
All Other Information: During my family tree search I found an 1880 Census Record stating that at 12 years of age Elihu H. Duncan was an adopted son to John T. Duncan. I have not been able to find any other records to date. I found an 1870 Census Record of an Elihu Miller son of Adam Miller within 40 miles of John T. Duncan. However, I cannot confirm this information from the census records alone. Any information would be greatly appreciated and helpful in my search for Elihu Duncan's biological parents.

All Other Information: When he was alive he desperately wanted to find his birth family. His birth mother died during the flu epidemic around 1916-1917. They were from Lithuania and lived on the south side of Chicago. He was old enough to know he had birth siblings that were older. Because he was not old enough to attend school, his birth father was unable to take care of him and work. He took my father to a Catholic orphanage. We do have his baptismal certificate from St. George Church in Chicago. Somewhere it was found that his family changed the family name to Judkins.

My aunt (her daughter) inquired with St. Vincent's some years ago and was given a birth mother name of "Margaret Mohling" but 20 years of research has not found any viable data on this person. Mamie Carrier died in ?-?-1923. Fred remarried and adopted another daughter in the ?-?-1920s. He also had several biological children with his second wife (Anna).  Genetic genealogy testing leads me to believe Catherine was of Irish, English, French, and possibly German descent.

All Other Information: Trying to find out my maternal grandmothers birth parents.

She was baptized there on 10-3-1917 and was adopted in 12-?-1919 ?. Her name was changed from Irene Donally to Irene Stamborsky. The adoption papers that I have state that notice of the adoption proceedings were advertised in the Chicago Daily Law Bulletin. John H. Williams - acting Judge of Cook County, Robert M. Sweitzer – Clerk, Charles Wurster - Irene's Guardian Ad Litem Sister Raphael of St. Vincent's - Consented to adoption, W. F. Propper - attorney for Michael and Theresa Stamborsky - the adoptive parents
Pleas before the judge began on 12-8-1919, Matter entered into record on 12-15-1919. (Update) Irene passed away 2-28-1987.  The photos that I have of her show that she had dark hair, it looks brown to me. I was 6 when she passed away and I remember her with grey hair at that point. I do not know her eye color for sure but I think they may have been green.

All Other Information: I am searching for information on my Grandmother's biological family. I am in the process of researching my family's history and we know nothing about my grandmother's biological history. We have no desire to seek these people out, just fill in the gaps. The stories that ran through the family were that my grandmother was 1 of 5 children and possibly illegitimate. Also, rumor has it, that my grandmother's birth mother visited my grandmother 3 times when she was a little girl and the woman was very affluent. I have joined several genealogical websites and newspaper websites in search of whatever I could find. I was also thinking of writing to the Archdiocese of Chicago requesting their help. My mother or my uncle (her children) are going to do a DNA test to see where our history lies other than the obvious history we already know about. I appreciate any help you may be able to give me. I can respond to email at any time, and can answer telephone calls after 5 p.m. Thank you.

Searching For: Birth Parents, Medical History, or information about the adoption of my deceased grandfather, Arthur Fillmore Kealey.
All Other Information: I have a 1920 census record from Homewood, Cook County, IL that lists Arthur Kealey as the 4 month old son of Frank Samuel Kealey (age 38) and Phebie L. Kealey (age 24). According to the census record, Arthur's birth mother was born in Illinois, and his birth father was born in England. Frank and Phebie also had a 20 year old male boarder named Joseph Whitehead who was born in Illinois, and whose parents were both born in England. There is no evidence that Whitehead was involved in the adoption, but that's the only additional name I have around the time of the adoption. I have a 1930 census record from San Jose, Santa Clara County, California. Arthur is listed as the 10 year old adopted son of Frank Samuel Kealey (age 48) and Gladys L. Kealey (age 34). Gladys's full maiden name was Gladys Lenore Waterman. The 1930 census says that Arthur's birth father was born in England and his birth mother was born in Michigan. I don't know if it's an error, or a correction, etc. According to family lore, my Papa Art was the offspring of a young lady of German ancestry who had "gotten in trouble." My family is not very open and communicative, so I am not confident that this rumor is grounded in truth. I have Arthur Fillmore Kealey's social security number but I can't figure out how to request a birth certificate without knowing the names of his birth parents.

His also alleged to have owned several bars in the Craigin neighborhood of Chicago. His nick name is Sharkey. He owned a house in Schiller Park, IL in 1950. Finding Sharkey's real name is pivotal for finding adoption info. Seeking info on grandparents and their families.

All Other Information: The adoption seems to have gone through two stages. The first was noted in a copy and seemed to have been modified and to my inexperienced eye, didn't look legal. The second was during my own search in about ?-?-1993 when the State "fixed" the document, but would not provide any information. My adoptive father claimed to be my birth father (out of wedlock) and the adoption was merely to make it legal. After his death, I discovered he was not my birth father. adoption was The story given me was that, since there was no available birth father, the original birth certificate listed the birth father's name as Key or Kay Ross (who was my mother's father).

All Other Information: My Mother told me, she was in and out of foster homes. She told me that her mother / My grandmother died when she was around 3 or four?. She also said that there was storys told to her like she or her mother. I forget which one was kidnapped as a baby from the blackfoot tribe. or maybe it was her mother. not for sure. I know my mother was blackfoot indian. If you seen her pictures. you would know. I was also told that the blackfoot tribe papers were burned years ago... A Man by the name of Meridith Deeter adopted her. but she wound up calling Carroll Deeter her father, she was told that her mother died of cancer when she was 3 or 4 years old. I do know that she talked about being taken from thier homes as a child or baby.. and/or some of the female blackfoot women were take when they were in thier teens even. so my mother often wondered if my grandmother was pregnat at the time, when all this accured. but do not know how true this is. She asked me to never stop looking. I promised her I never would. So if anyone knows of these types of storys from the Indian nation. Please let me know.. There were alot of storys told to her when she was a little girl. I just did not put them on here. because I want to see if anyone that happens to answer this. that they should know some of the storys..That way I will know it is true. thank you all. (Update) My mother was very dark complected.. black hair.. cheeks bones so high. green eyes.. 5' 5" and she was a purebred blackfoot.

All Other Information: I was adopted from the "Cradle" in Evanston, IL in Sept. ?-?-1934.  I had a birth mark on my face. At the Cradle my name was "Zoe".  Also I'm sure my birth parents have passed away but there must be siblings or other relatives.  According to the Cradle my birth mother worked for the telephone company and my birth father, who was married, worked for a public service company (I'm guessing the telephone company).

Later married (common law) William Arthur Dunnill. Their son William Dunnill (age 78) is searching for older half-birth sister and family. Lois attended Park Ridge School for girls. (high school). She was raised in St. Mary's Home for Children and was raised by nuns. Jen Rose Gehir was her guardian until she was 18 years old.

Birth mother had beautiful blue eyes with , long , thick eye lashes. (both her sons had the same). She had dark, thin hair. Sons were balding (one dark hair, one blonde hair). Birth mother was 5'2" tall, stocky build. No idea about birth father’s age. William Dunnill is 5'9" tall, with blue eyes, dark hair (balding). Searching for half birth sister.

Searching For: Birth Mother, Birth Siblings, Medical History.

All Other Information: Adopted from delivering retired physican Dr. Fagan. Dr. Fagan and his wife were elderly and couldn't care for the child. A rabbi wrote to Morton and Esther explaining it would be a Mitva if they took the child. Irene was listed as married and 17 years old at the time of delivery, listed as married, however adoption papers stated father deceased in automobile accident.  Also, stated John Slowin's profession was automobile mechanic. Had the original birth certificate examined by a handwriting specialist who stated whoever filled it out was of French Canadian descent. The names Slowin and Durmay may be spelled phoenetically (Update) Doctor Phillip Feigan / Feigen, retired, delivered baby. His brother? Arthur Feigan / Feigen handled the adoption. On the original birth certificate it states Irene's employment as "housekeeper at Sister's Home" there was a place in Chicago run by the Franciscan Sisters called Sister's Home, on the third floor of the building. Wonder if Irene could have been in the Angel Guardian Orphanage. There was in 1920, an Irene "Dreery" and her brother Frank.  In looking at the last name it could have been Durmay. States Irene was married at time of delivery however, John Slowin employed as Auto mechanic had died in a car accident ?.  No record of any marriage between Irene and John.  Possibly she was Catholic and he was Jewish, never married as a Rabbi contacted Morton and Esther about my mother and said it would be a "Mitzva" if they took the baby.

Searching For: I am searching for a possible twin.

All Other Information: My IL obc indicates I was a multiple birth, either a twin (more likely) or triplet. Genealogy experts have looked at the markings on my obc and agree from the information (as filled in) that I may be a twin. I have my birth mother's medical records from my birth at Edgewater Hospital. I met my birth mother (now deceased), though don't think I had my obc at that time. There was no discussion with any birth family members of my being a twin. Most are now deceased. I know for a fact that some of the information on my obc is incorrect (my actual birth surname was Roth; it is unlikely my birth parents were married, though my obc says they were; I don't believe they were living at the address listed on my obc.

I did not know I had a twin but found her in 2006. I have been searching for 50 years, way before computers. I knew of 4 children - now we total 15, I have concrete proof of each birth to birth mother. She died in 1979 in Billing's, Mt. She lived with me the last 5 months of her life. I had no idea of other children, I knew nothing of her life. I have found 11 birth sibling's and believe that there are 3 to 6 more. I never knew where she was born until she died. She came from a very small town in IL. called Rosebud. She left Rosebud with her mother at a young age. I know nothing about her whereabouts from 1928 in Danville, IL. to my birth in Seattle WA. 1944. So far half of her children were born in WA. The remaining birth sibling's from 1950 on were born in CA. AR. and ? In 1950 she left WA. and went to So. Cal. I'm also looking in 1952, 1957 through 1962, 1967, 1971. Many of her children were born 11 months apart. She was married 8 times that I have proof of, but she used many last names. My siblings are professional people some were adopted, some given away, some Sold. I'm 73 years old and want to put All my birth sibling's together before I pass !!! I pray someone out there will help.
(Update) I have no info on who birth father is. Birth mother was 5'2" tall, with ice blue eyes. She alway's lied about her age ?. I am 5'2" tall, with blue eyes.

Searching For: Birth Parents of Mr Hauff, Medical History.

All Other Information: Im searching for the birth parents of Mr Hauff. He is 79 years old and wants to know the truth. The people he called mama and papa he believes them to be his grandparents instead. William and Amelia Haff could not have been his birth parents. They were 66 and 63 when born. They did have one daughter, Magdalena Hauff b 5-18-1902 In Ohio. He believe that she is really his birth mother. She was a mystery of her own. Sometime after 1930 she claimed to be an Indian born in Canada but records found prove that she was a full blooded German. She called herself Princess Whitecloud and also was known as Naomi Whitecloud or Whitehead. She played / taught piano. She toured with the Steve Miller band and eventually made her way to Biloxi, MS where she lived until she passed away. Im hoping before it is too late to be able to give Mr Hauff some closer as to who he is. He did get a copy of his birth cert. but much was whited out.

Searching For: Name and Information on Birth Mother and/or Birth Father, Medical History.

All Other Information: Adoption may have been privately done. There was a brother, his name was "Johnny", my father in-law met him when they were children. He came out to our farm and visited. He was never heard from again. My husband would like to know who his paternal grandparents were and also for geneological reasons. (Update) My husband and I found a letter from a Mrs. Hulbert of the Northern branch of the Illinois Home and Aid Society of 208 West Washington St. in Chicago. Detailed information of Father's birth, weight, vitals, etc. over a period of a year (letter dated 8-18-1941) addressed to a Dr. Mary Rosential of Freeport, IL The letter was headed RE: Prasse baby boy, 6-2-1940. We originally thought our dad was born in Stephenson County, but after finding this letter think he was born in NW Chicago.

Searching For: Medical History.

All Other Information: My father (now deceased) was born to Stella & James Cox at Misericordia Hospital in Chicago, IL and transferred to St. Vincent's Infant Asylum for adoption placement. He was born 11-18-1940; adopted by Robert Edward Thibert and Grace Delia (Perusse) Thibert on 11-30-1940.  Later, Robert Edward Thibert made arrangements to adopt a baby girl who was a biological sibling to my father, but that adoption was cancelled at Grace Delia Thibert's discretion. Robert James Thibert (the adoptee) developed insulin-dependent diabetes as a young adult, and was legally blind in both eyes (due to diabetic complications rupturing blood vessels) at the time of his death from pancreatic cancer. He suffered from mental illness for most of his life, and engaged in excessive binge alcohol drinking starting in his early teens. He was admitted to a psychiatric institution as a teenager, which forced him to finish high school 1 full year after his peers. As the daughter of the adoptee, I have a vested interest in obtaining medical history information from my father's birth family. I would like to know if diabetes ran in the family, but I also would like to know if there were known gastrointestinal disorders in the family. My daughter (who is now 4 years old) suffers from Celiac Disease (confirmed via endoscopic biopsy) and has tested positive for several genetic markers associated with Celiac Disease.

All Other Information: I am searching for my birth father's information. Searching for his birth date, place, first, middle and last name, his whereabouts, whether he is alive or passed and personal family information including relatives or children's names. When I was a child we lived at 4455 Clifton Avenue, Chicago, Illinois until 1950. I believe my birth father lived at 4455 Clifton Avenue in the 1940's and perhaps with my mother ?. I was born at Cook County Hospital which I think has been renamed. All the 1940's birth record files were moved to Springfield, Illinois at some point. I tried to call there but they wouldn't release any birth records saying it was a closed adoption. With my mother passed and step-father passed and medical info important at this time of my life it would be nice to have a birth fathers name, decent and perhaps any health issue info - . . .my gmail account doesn't appear to be working - I do have one - 2013pnv@gmail.com
(Update) My birth fathers name is Raymond Olson. I was named Donna Rae Olson at birth. He was born in Chicago, Illinois and was 23 years old when I was born.

All Other Information: As for my birth name it came in with my adoption decree papers from the lawyer who took care of my adopted mother's estate,  Finally passed those  papers/copy on to me a couple of years ago. I also have a copy of a letter that my birth mother had wrote to my adoptive mother, in which it states  where she lived at at the time that said letter was wrote. Adoption was finalized in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois on October 14, 1941. This was a private adoption. I have posted most of the above to some of the message boards without much success. I've been looking for quite some time know and I'm still coming up emptied handed.

All Other Information: Looking for any birth family member. I have ordered original birth certificate thanks to change in IL law.  The Cradle told me my mother used an alias and they have 2 names in their files. I will request other name when I receive original. I was told birth mother was told my birth mother was German Descent, a Catholic, 5'1/2", black hair, blue eyes, 106 lbs. Had at least 2 yrs. HS and did clerical work. Her mother was a practical nurse. Her father was a machinist who died of cancer in ?-?-1940. She had 2 brothers who died of flu at very young age and 1 sister who died of TB @ age 14. I also learned from court clerk that her address at time of birth was 1530 E. 73 rd. St., Chicago. I researched that address and found it was owned by 2 Randall sisters at the time, both of whom have since died. Birth mother was 26 at the time.  She was born in Des Moines, IA, and was supposedly married but separated. The Cradle could not verify marriage. They told me birth father Charles R Johnson was 27 of English descent. His birth place is listed as Chicago, IL Finished HS and entered service and was based at Camp Forrest, TN. I have copy of adoption decree which lists his name as Charles Robert Johnson. He apparently entered service in 6-?-1941.  He was 5'7", 145 lbs., w/ dark hair, blue eyes. He was employed as taxi driver, messenger and doing odd jobs. He had no siblings and parents were deceased. He was a HS graduate from what they were told. Adoption Decree #103515 issued on 6-29-1943.  Adoptive parents brought me home 3-31-1942. My adoptive parents died of cancer when I was young - my father in ?-?-1950 and mother in ?-?-1957. I was raised by my mother's sister. She was unable to give me any additional information. My adopted mother always told me and the family that I was French and Irish. My adopted family was English and Irish background, so don't know where the French came from unless that's what they were told. I live in FL  Jan. - April @ 138 Travel Park Dr., #129, Spring Hill, FL 34607.

All Other Information: I have the original birth certificate signed by the attending ? physician on 2-23-1942.  I have searched for a long time without success and believe that "Marie" Evans is a middle name. Evans possibly and probably is the correct surname. Oshkosh, Wisconsin may not be her birthplace as I've never been able to find any documentation of a Marie Evans born in Oshkosh, MN. Recently, I received my autosomal DNA (4 to 5 maternal and paternal generations. I am 94% northern Italian. That is my maternal grandmother, birth mother and birth father. The remaining 6% is my maternal grandfather. He was a "Romani". We know them as Gypsies, or in his case Travellers. It is believed by family tree professionals that he was possibly a Welsh Romani, accounting for the surname Evans. I have 2nd to 5th cousins on family tree. One has an extensive genealogy listing. Recently I looked in depth at his list of over 1,000 names and found 16 people who lived in or were born in Yellow Medicine County, Minnesota with 3 names born in Oshkosh, MN. which is a town in the above county. I am focusing my search in Minnesota looking for females born around 1919 with the last name Evans and a middle initial M. I am also going to learn as much about Romani in the US as of 1900.  There is a Romani census registry. I am encouraged again due to learning my ethnic background. I will also look at maternal grandmothers attempting to learn their country of origin. My focus will be Italy. In other words a baby girl Evans born around around 1919 with a mother whose origin can be traced to Italy. I will also contact the town of Oshkosh, MN for any information on Romani settlements in the early 20th century. I did send to MN, vital records for a Marie Evans birth certificate. They did not have a record relating to the above. I was grey market. Jefferson Park Hospital was known as a hospital for unwed mothers and private adoptions. I have never located any records from the hospital relating to my birth.

Searching For: Adoptee, Birth Brother 

All Other Information: Born in the mid 1940's. Have extremely scarce information. Was told about my mother having a child as a teen  by my father.  When mentioned to an uncle it was confirmed but told it was closed subject.  Mother was raised in Quincy, Illinois so it is assumed that the baby was born there. However she did have relatives in Peoria, Illinois so that may be a possibility also. Would appreciate any help.

Searching For: Adoptee
All Other Information: My Great Aunt Minerva, as she was known, was 7 or 8 months pregnant when her mother died on 1-12-1943. Minerva was of Norwegian descent. She went to Chicago, IL and stayed with a cousin, a nurse, at the hospital. The birth father was presumably a married man and Minerva was a widow; Minerva died on 1-9-1998. (Update) Birth mother was about 5'6" tall, 37 years old. She had blue eyes and medium brown hair, medium build, tending toward a little plump, but not obese. She lived to be 92 years old. She was born and lived in Wisconsin. The Wisconsin State adoption agency has confirmed that she did not give birth to a child in Wisconsin. Minerva went to California in the late fall of 1942 planning to have the baby in San Diego County where three of her sisters lived. She either planned to give the baby out there or she planned to give the baby to one of her sisters to raise. Unfortunately the ruse failed because her mother died in Wisconsin in 1-?-1943. Her sisters in Wisconsin were well aware when she returned for the funeral that she was pregnant, 7-8 months along. Rather than return to California she disappeared until the baby was born. I believe she went to Chicago and worked with a Lutheran Adoption Service there. Minerva was a lifelong member of the Lutheran Church and it very likely she would have set up an adoption using its services. She also had relatives in Minneapolis with whom she could have stayed, but Chicago is more likely. The birth father is completely unknown. It is believed he was a married man, and likely in the military service, possibly from Mt. Horeb, Wisconsin or more likely, Madison, Wisconsin. It is likely that he never knew that he had fathered a child. Minerva remarried in 1948, but she had no other children. The executor of her estate knew about the child and searched Minerva's home assiduously for any documentation of the birth and none was found. I was very close to Minverva for many years and we shared many family secrets because I was the family historian, she never revealed the existence of this child to me. After her death her sister let me know about the child in the hope that someday contact could be made.

I suffer from intermittent depression as do my four daughters. Heredity ? We also have difficulty with our joints.

She was a Polish Jew according to my adoptive parents, and my birth father was Greek. Chicago Orphan Asylum did not handle my adoption. I do not know who did.

Searching For: Birth Mother, Ernestine Platt, Medical History.

All Other Information: My mother is the adoptee, Lynn Marie Finkel. She doesn't have access to a computer and I am inquiring on her behalf. I also would like to know my grandparents. Lynn feels that the Platt family was Jewish. Lynn thinks her father died in WWII because there is no mention of him. I tried searching the 1930's census and could not find an Ernestine Platt. I am not sure if that is her maiden or married name. My mother's adoptive parents would never give her information on her birth parents and my mother always felt as though her adoptive mother somehow knew her birth mother. (black market baby perhaps)?. I have the court paperwork from the County Court of Cook County granting the adoption of Baby Girl Platt to Maurice and Sylvia Finkel about 10 days after my mother's birth. It states that the birth mother, Platt is the surviving parent of said child and has abandoned and surrendered the said child. I believe the name Ernestine came up in family conversation. My birth grandmother is the only survivor.
(Update) I have no record of the age or physical descriptions of the birth parents. The legal papers state that birth mother Platt is the only surviving parent of said child. The birth father was deceased at the time of adoption. I am guessing maybe he was killed in WWII.  Lynn Marie Finkel has blonde hair and blue eyes. Technically her eyes are green but I'm not sure if they were listed as that color on birth records.

Searching For: Birth Relatives, Birth Parents, Medical History

All Other Information: Searching for parents / relatives of an adopted girl born 10/20/1944 at St. Anthony's Hospital in Rockford, IL. Name at birth was Judith Ann Rupp. I don't know if the mother's maiden name was Rupp. I don't believe they were married at the time. I believe she had several siblings and know of one half-sister who was about 18 months older. I also believe the father was in the military. It was a private adoption from birth. The mother rented an apartment from a relative and set the adoption up through her. Any info would be greatly appreciated, as all members of the adopted family who would know are now deceased. Thanks.

Searching For: Birth Father, Any Birth Siblings of my birth father, Medical History.All Other Information: Searching for A child born to this birth mother prior to my dad's birth. On the birth certificate we have it says number of children born to this birth mother - 2 including my dad and that they were living. Also any children born after my dad. Any medical history. Birth mother listed The Sarah Hackett Stevenson Lodging House as her residence and mailing address on the birth certificate. No birth father was listed on the birth certificate. Supposedly, birth mother was sent to have her child here. My dad wasn't adopted until he was over a year old. Why ?. (Update) Birth certificate says birth mother was 17 years old and that the birth was not legitimate. I don't think she was married. My dad was at a foster home/orphanage kind of place with a bunch of other kids. My grandparents adopted him through a church or state related adoption agency or representative. They never told my dad he was adopted until he was 52.

All Other Information: (Update) Birth father, Leonard Harold Marks Birthplace- Artdale Wisconin Age--28 his hair was brown and eyes blue. Birth mothers maiden name, Ruth Pearl Wines Birthplace-- Friendship Wisconsin Age--27 her hair was brown and eyes blue. I can recall, around the age of four, we were made wards of the court. My older brother Paul, myself sister Linda and baby brother Leonard were put in foster care, this took place in 1944. Around 1952 my father remarried and returned to Durand, IL and took Paul, Linda and myself back to California. I beleave my foster familiy name was Kaiser, Larry & Betty.  There were other foster kids there on the farm. The last time I saw Tubby, Leonard was when he showed up at the farm. I think Tubby was around two years old. At the time of my birth  11-3-1940 mom & dad lived at 520 Mulberry St in Rockford, IL. It would be wounder to find my little brother, I don't have any idea if he knows he has a brother & sisters.

Searching For: Adoptee, Birth Half-Brother

All Other Information: Just found out that my mother gave up a child in 1945 or 1946. She was separated from her husband...birth father was married to someone else. Mom said adoptive parents were good people...even sent her a picture now and then. Mom is 81 and beginning to slip away from us. If the son my mother gave up is looking for her, now's the time to step forward. She doesn't want to disturb him and his family if he's not looking for her.

Searching For: Adoptee, Half-Birth Brother

All Other Information: Leonard John Grode was born at 8:15 p.m. on 10-07-1945 in Cook County, Chicago, Illinois at St. Vincent's Infant and Maternity Home/Hospital. Physician signing the birth certificate was Dr. Schmitz. Leonard's twin brother, Arthur, died shortly after the birth. Initially, Catholic Charities in Chicago was handling the adoption arrangements but, for reasons unknown, birth mom brought Leonard by train to Madison, WI and left him with Catholic Charities in Madison, who presumably handled his adoption from that point. We believe this to be true, as no amended birth certificate or record of adoption or death certificate for Leonard was found in Illinois, only a death certificate for Arthur. We do not know how much, if any, birth information was given to Catholic Charities in Madison when Leonard was brought there, so it's possible that adoptee may not know his actual birth date or birthplace. Birth certificate states that birth mother was doing factory work at a defense plant. Nothing is known about the birth father except that he was purportedly from Stevens Point, Wisconsin.

All Other Information: I would like to find my birth grandparents. My birth grandmother was an unwed girl and I believe my birth grandfather was a military man serving in WWII in 1945 when they knew each other. Searching for my birth grandmother who lived in Burlington, Indiana and left there to stay with her sister in Chicago, Illinois to have her baby boy. After the baby's birth she took the boy to Lafayette, Indiana with her and it was there the baby was adopted.
The adoptive parents, those I knew as my father's parents, were Marvin and Maxine Henderson and they lived in Delphi, Indiana and raised the baby boy there. The adoptive grandparents and my father are all deceased and I am anxious to know if I might have any living biological relatives, and I feel I could be running out of time to be able to connect with those relatives.

Searching For: Birth Mother, Any Birth Siblings, Medical History.
All Other Information: I was not formally adopted.  I was given to a couple that wanted me. I was a premature baby (born at 7 mos).  I do not know if I was born in a hospital or at home, but odds are it was a hospital.  The "story" is that my parents had other children and could not afford another one.  I was told that my parents were Norwegian and that they were working or were traveling with a carnival at the time of my birth. I should have a birth certificate somewhere, but I do not know what name to look under.  I am reasonably sure of my birth date from dated pictures.  My "adopted mother, Simone" had a sister who had a baby 4 days after I was born and we are both in the pictures as babies.  My baptismal certificate (done when I was 5 years old to get me in school) states that I was born in Chicago, Illinois.  Of course, it shows them as my parents. Everyone in my "adopted father's" family believes me to be his.  Everyone in my "adopted" mother's family knows that I am not hers.  He told me he was not my father due to the fact that he had mumps that had "dropped". I have since researched this fact, and most of the time, the man can still have children. Simone was barren.  Both are deceased.  I had my mitrachondrial DNA done and it is indeed traced back to Norway, so there is some truth here.

Searching For: Adoptee, Birth Brother
All Other Information: "David" is my half-birth brother. He was born to my mother and the birth father (who were not married) before my parents even met. I know the birth father was probably from Central America, South America or the Caribbean and that he was an instructor at Moody Bible Institute. I believe my mother met him when she was taking one of his classes. I believe he was married with a family. He was fired from this position when Moody became aware of my mother's pregnancy. I believe David was born 10-1-1947 or 10-1-1948 or 10-1-1949 ?. He was adopted through the Illinois Children's Home and Aid Society of Chicago, I believe to an African American family, though I am not positive about that. (Update) Birth mother was either 19, 20 or 21 years old  at time of birth ? - not positive. Birth mother was 5'5" tall, about 130 lbs. with blue eyes and brown hair.Birth father was a college professor so probably in his late 20s or 30s ?. I am 5'6" tall, with green eyes and brown hair. gray now.

All Other Information: Searching for biological father's relatives, and/or biological siblings. Father had blond hair in early pictures and adoptive sister was not a biological sibling. Father had a weight problem his entire life, father had dark hair and his children have a strong resemblance to him. Possible that adoption happened at 1 year of age. St. Vincent de Paul had a fire that I was told destroyed all adoption records. Adoptive mother destroyed only copy of fathers link to adoption information in his teens.

Searching For: Adoptee, Birth Half-Sister

All Other Information: My mother had a child in 1948 or 1949 before she married my father.  Both parents are now deceased.  I would like to find my half-sibling.  My mother always talked of a girl born in the Chicago Home for Wayward Girls.  She was taken there by her family pastor.  She stayed there until the birth of the baby and then had no where to go so she moved to Iowa to live with her brother and met my father in Ames, IA on Sept. 1, 1949.  The next child was born in February of 1952.  I have my mother's death certificate.  I am the only sibling doing the search.

Searching For: Adoptee, Birth Sibling 
All Other Information: Family stories and a copy of the hospital birth certificate indicate I must have had a twin brother.  My father wanted a girl, bu the attending doctor told my father I was a boy.  The nurse, however, told my mother they had a girl.  The hospital birth certificate was filled in originally with all information except the name, including "male".  The word "male" was erased and rewritten "female" at the same time the name was added. Twins run in my family.  This was the first time there had been no twins.  However, I believe I was a twin and that the doctor intended to black-market me, but with the nurses' slip-up, he had to take the boy instead. The attending physician was Carl Greenstein.  The Superintendent's signature appears to be Sr St.Louis, R.N. which I believe was Sister St Louis.  If any male was a black-market baby from Champaign County, Illinois around 1948 I'd like him to contact me.  (Update) The birth family eyes are typically hazel or very blue with a dark ring around the other part of the colored area.  Men are 6'3" to 6'4" tall, very thin with large hands and long legs on the father's side. Men are 5'9" tall, a little stocky with a more rounded face and tend to have edima in their legs as they get older on the mother's side. The father, 6'4" tall, passed away at age 63 years old of a second heart attack. The mother, 5'8" tall, passed away at age 77 years old and had "Dementia". As for hair color, by now the hair should be grey with perhaps some medium brown.  Growing up it would begin blonde and turn "dishwater blonde" or light ash brown after puberty.

Searching For: Adoptee

All Other Information: My grandmother, Rosemond Elgentine "Mary" Sellers, was impregnated by an unknown male, in 1947 at age 15 in Beloit, Mitchell County, Kansas. She was sent to Oak Park, Cook, Illinois to have a baby under the guise of being a nanny for a doctor. She returned to Beloit, Mitchell, Kansas in 1948 without the baby. We think the baby was born on 4-?-1948 ?. My grandmother died when my mom was 4 so we have very little information about her or the event. My grandmother had a picture in her possessions of a baby in a christening dress named "Billy". My grandmother's husband, who is not the birth father of the baby, thinks she stayed with a Doctor Baker / Bakker and that the baby could be William "Billy" Baker / Bakker, if adopted by the doctor. This is all we really have. We have pictures of my grandmother while in Illinois standing in front of a house. I'd like to send you those pictures if it would help. I have tried to find the house in the pictures in Oak Park, Illinois without success. My mom has submitted a medical information form to the state of Illinois and has her information on file for when the "baby" inquiries about his birth mother with them. They did not have any information to release to her based on the information she provided on the form. My grandmother's birthday was 7-4-1932. She was born in Bloom, Osborne, Kansas. This person is my uncle. My DNA and my mom's DNA is located in Ancestry and GEDMatch. 
(Update) Birth mother was around 5'7" tall, with blue eyes and brown hair.

Searching For: Adoptee, Birth Sibling

All Other Information: I just recently learned about this sibling. He was born the year before my parents were married. I was told he was born at a home for unwed mothers probably in Chicago. I have my parents social security numbers if that would be helpful. Here are their birthdates: Elizabeth Barr 5-13-1915 and John Rutchik born 7-25-1918. They are both deceased. I have some family medical history that my "birth sibling" should know about. One of my brothers, not knowing, died from this syndrome. If he had known, his life could have been spared. I would like to let my "birth syndrome" know about this so he can protect himself and his family. Thank you, thank you, thank you, I need help finding him. If you can't devote much time, please give me some direction. Thanks again.

Searching For: Birth Parents, Medical History.

All Other Information: I have registered on the Illinois Adoption Registry.  I worked with Midwest Adoption for two years.  They were able to find a relative who failed to answer the first outreach and refused the second.  The case was subsequently closed.  I then petitioned the court through Judge Patrick McGann to have my files released to me.  He denied my request.  I have been working with Worldwide Tracers, Inc. for about a year.  Thus far I have had no results. Non-identifying info I was given - My birth mother was 18 years old when I was born.  Her occupation was listed as clerk in a store.  My maternal grandparents were from Norway / Sweden.  There were two different names used by my birth mother - one on the birth certificate and another on the adoption forms.  It was a private adoption. My adopted parents and anyone who would have knowledge of the adoption is now deceased.  I have also gone through the processing of having my DNA mapped.  It may be unrelated, but when I was a Flight Attendant for United in Chicago, there was another Flight Attendant that I was told looked exactly like me. So much so, that other employees of United, Pilots, Flight Attendants, etc. would walk up to me and begin to carry on a conversation as if they knew me.  I never met or saw her.  This was before I knew I was adopted.  Now I wish I had persued it.

All this would mean so much to me, for I have children of my own and grandchildren. My adoptive parents presided at 25407 74th Ave. Elmwood, Ill. when they adopted me. They never spoke of it much other than to say I was a newborn infant when they got me.

All Other Information: I am searching for my dads biological parents, or biological realitives. The information I have is from his birth certificate, which by looking at it looks like my grandparents gave birth to him, however they never hid the fact that him and my aunt were adopted. He has had some health issues and I wanted to find them and see if there are any other health issues, his son, my brother, died at a young age and one of my children have health issues. I would also like to know where we come from. There are just so many unanswered question. (Update) We do not have any information on the birth parents at all. Mark Newberry is 5'8" tall, he has blue / green eyes and dark brown hair. He was given to my grandparents 5 days after birth. I believe that he was born at Shelbyville Memorial Hospital in Shelbyville Illinois.

Searching For  Adoptee, Birth Brother
All Other Information: Betty never saw the child. Mother & priest arranged.  All we know on the date of birth is Fall of 1951. Father John O'Connell (uncle) was the priest. (Update) We actually do not know a lot about the adoptee he would be my older birth brother. I am looking for. My mom who is now 80 & cant remember a lot. We do not have an exact date. Dont know how to find hospital records. my mother was around 18 or 19 and just did what her mother & the priest told her. She didnt even get to see the baby. The birth father was in the hospital after she had the baby but they never spoke again & she can hardly remember his name. He was so mad that she listened to her parents and wouldnt marry him. My moms birthday is 8-22-1931. Her father was Captain of Police in Berwyn, IL at the time. No idea if the birth father ever had contact again with the adoptee. Any ideas ?  Thanks Teri.

All Other Information: I tried through the State to get information on parents. I know my birth mother was 20 years old at my birth and no birth father listed on birth certificate. My birth mother has passed away. I would like to know her name, if there are siblings and any medical information on her I can get. The Confidential Intermediary told me because I was originally looking for siblings that when they discovered my birth mother had died they were not going to give me her name. I would also like to know COD. The CI told me there was no release in my adoption file from my birth mother and she became skeptical I may have been part of the Catholic baby selling industry. I want to know who my birth mother was, how she dies, and medical history and if I have any siblings. My adoptive birth number is 112-52-033180-I don't know if the original can be traces back from this. Thanks so much

All Other Information: My adoption was private, facilitated by my doctor a-dad and Dr. McElin, my birth mother's ob/gyn, at Evanston Hospital. Birth mother was contacted in ?-?-2006 by an Illinois, C.I. and conveyed that she did not want contact. She told the CI that she was a "military lieutenant" at the time of my birth, and was married to my birth father. The CI checked records for Illinois and found no marriage. Also, according to birth mother, I have a younger half-sister. Half-sister was contacted by letter(s) in late ?-?-2006, early ?-?-2007 but did not respond. Additional info from birth mother is that she is of Irish heritage and is Catholic. She was 29 years old when I was born and my birth father was listed as 30 y.o. He supposedly was "an attorney at a law firm". The CI seemed to think that my birth father, Robert Nelson, was fictitious. I have been registered w. ISRR for 28 years, am in the Illinois Mutual Consent Registry and am listed in several online registries.

My birth mother worked at the mill.  I do not know if they had a one-night stand or something more. My birth mother went to the Chicago area at some point and gave birth to me there. I have a copy of my original birth certificate. I am a member of 23andme -- a DNA testing service.  I will grant you access to this site.

Searching For: Adoptee

All Other Information: His birthday is either 9-4-1953-9-5-1953- 9-7-1953 or 9-8-1953...My mother is 71 years old now...and her memory isn't so good. She claims his birthday was 9-4-1953 but also remembers being in Labor on labor day...which landed on the 7th that year....so that's why there's a little confusion on the birthdate. My mother gave my brother up for adoption unwillingly, and has always hoped one day to meet him. She maybe confused about the dates, but has always loved and prayed for her son....and will never forget him....(she called him Ricky, but that probably was never documented)

All Other Information: I have brown hair and blue eyes. The siblings that I am aware of are brothers George Forbes (in his 60s), Gene Forbes (his birth name may be Marion Eugene) in his 60s and Grant Eugene Forbes around 58 years of age. I think there are 2 sisters, Marjie (not sure what her birth name is) she is probably in her 60s as well and then Hannah, probably in her early 60s. My mother's parents lived in Downs, Illinois. I think my Grandmother's name was Vera Hamblin and I think my grandfather's name was George. I've been told that all of the siblings have different Fathers, except Grant and I supposedly have the same father. I think my biological Father's mother's name was Marie. My brother Grant and I were foster children with the Barringtons from the time we were very young, I may have been 2 - 2 1/2 and Grant was probably around 4.

All Other Information: Ronald was an identical twin-Brother Donald Paul. I had heard that the boys were adopted from a mother who had too many children and couldn't afford any more. The boys would have been children 8 & 9 or 9 & 10. The birth certificate I have is typed, which is known that is not the original. Adopted parents are both deceased and never told the boys of the adoption. The boys were adopted young, we had heard that within a couple months old. Any information would be great since we have nothing. (Update) He is deceased now.  I also forgot to add that I am his daughter looking for info.

I have my original birth certificate that was just aquired in the last few months since Illinois opened their adoption records. I contacted a possible uncle. My birth mothers brother throught the mail he called me immediately and said he knew nothing about me or that Rosalie had another child given up for adoption. He has my name and phone number and I thought he would pass this info along to Rosalie my birth mother but never heard back from anyone.

I have a picture of my birth father from ?-?-1955 or so. He was in the US Navy. The picture was taken in San Diego. He was 17 when he joined the Navy. He grew up in Chicago on the West Side. He was Catholic. He had a brother named "Stash". He had a good sense of humor. He and my birth mother wanted to marry, but his father said no, and told him he had to join the Navy. My birth father may have known my birth mother as either Judy Wheeler, or Judy Sinclair. Wheeler was her original name, Sinclair was her step-father's last name. Robert Novak's middle name might be Lee. 20 years after my birth, he was still living in the Chicago area. He may have 2 daughters. The doctor who arranged the adoption was John Lauer, last known address was in Florida. He was retired when last contacted.

Searching For: Birth Father, Medical History.

All Other Information: My birth mother was 17 years old at the time and was 5'7' tall, weighed 118 lbs., and had blonde hair with a reddish tinge.  Her older brother accidently sho her in the right eye with a BB gun and it was described as scarred and wandering. She was the third of seven children and was raised Catholic. She was Lithianian and Polish.  She was born in 10-?-1937. (Update) My birth father was 6'2" tall, weighed around 200 pounds, had curly auburn hair and grey eyes.  He was twenty-six when I was born and was of Swedish heritage.  He was raised in Missouri. At the time of my birth, he was married with three children. I, on the other hand, stand 5'11" tall and weigh 180 lbs.  I have blue eyes and had brown hair when I was young, but it turned white when I was in my mid twenties. I think I found my birth mother, who was named Lucille Marie Chmielewski. In 1960, she married a John W. Schaeffer, although other records list his name as John W. Schaffer.  On both records, it shows that they were both married to a Lucille M. Chmielewski, so I assume they are the same person. I found a list of their sons and daughters on facebook.

Searching For: Birth Parents, Medical History.

All Other Information: I am a white male born 12-2-1955. I was adopted out of the Cradle, Evanston, Illinois on 3-23-1956, 10:15 p.m. I know both my biological parents were older. My birth mother, Margaret Ryan was 38 years old when she had me, per my birth certificate. I have no information on my birth father. My birth mothers birth state is Louisiana. I received my "original birth certificate in May, but was told the names may be changed by a letter or two. The dist No. is 16.23 and the registered number is 4559. My birth number is 112-55-116967. I was told my birth mother had females problems and most likely needed surgery after I was born. I have been searching for a very long time and haven't been very successful. I was diagnosed with cancer, and my son had a rare form of cancer as well. I would love to find out anything medically, as well as find out about my birth mother and birth father. I would appreciate any help you could offer. (Update) I am presently 6'2" tall, with hazel eyes and dark brown / black hair. I do not have any information on my birth father.  Nothing is noted on the birth certificate. (Update) The Cradle has verified, the names used on my birth certificate are not our "legal"  names.  Was a common practice to change the names. My birth mother was a teacher. She was 38 years old when she had me, born in ?-?-1918, My birth father went into the Navy right out of high school, got out and was a salesman. He was 35 years old. (Kind of funny, as I spent 30 years and in the Navy and retired 4 years ago)  The Cradle told me she "most likely" stayed in Illinois.

Just received my non-id  info, it states I have 6 brothers and or sisters all older than me. (not bad for being an only child all my life huh?) . I also contacted Post adoptions; they said there was no info on file. Somewhere along the line someone I spoke with said the state was involved. I tried tracking down the hospital record but was told they were burnt in a fire. Also tried to locate the archiving company no luck there. I'm  not sure whom to start with, Clarence if still living would be the easiest due to no maiden name, but it is really Margaret I would love. Thanks for all your help. Warm regards Alice Allmon.

All Other Information: I was born at the long-defunct Mercy Hospital and then adopted at 2 weeks by an orphanage run by Catholic Charities of Chicago. I have no identifying information about my birth father. I only have my birth mother's name--Angela Nekhoel, the fact that she was 27 years old when she gave me up for adoption, which would have meant she was born in ?-?-1929, and that she was employed as a housekeeper. I recently did a 23andme kit, and learned that my heritage (not separated out by birth mother and birth father, obviously) is Italian, Irish, British, Jordanian, and Lebanese. 23andme showed 3rd to distant cousin matches, and of the seven requests for contact I sent out three weeks ago, no one has answered. This is the first time I have posted on a site like this. Any help is immensely appreciated. I grew up as an only child and I would love to know especially if I have any birth siblings out there!.

Searching For: Birth Mother, Birth Father, Birth Siblings, Medical History.

All Other Information: I was told I was born at the old St. Joseph's Hospital, Elgin or Aurora, IL. Birth mother was supposedly 29 years old and divorced, but with four birth children by prior marriage. Birth father was supposedly 32 years old, married and no information about him. I am supposedly 1/2 German, 1/3 Italian and 1/6 Irish. My birth mother supposedly was emotionally under stress at the time of the pregnancy and could not keep me due to financial and other concerns. Since 2000, Catholic Charities has contacted birth mother twice, and I was told she wants no contact with me and will not even provide medical history.

Searching For: Birth Mother, Pat Baron, Medical History. 

All Other Information: I was born at Lewis Memorial Hospital (closed 1958), supposedly my birth mothers name was Pat Baron, she claimed to be 19 years old at the time of my birth, records indicate my birth mothers d.o.b. is 10-16-1937. She was of English and Italian decent, 5'2" tall and 140 lbs. Her mothers name was Mary (who died 1 year previous to my birth) and fathers name was Sam. My birth mother claimed to be an only child. The only thing I know about my birth father is he was 23 years of age, and of Scottish decent, His first name may have been William. The agency that handled the adoption was Catholic Charities in Chicago, IL. It is possible some of this information my be incorrect, for I have spent several years searching without much luck.

All Other Information: Dorothy L. Modglin was the respondant, previously appointed guardian of adoptee, and a Probation Officer for the county court of St. Clair County, IL. Mrs. Modglin was appointed guardian on 5-23-1957. The adoption decree # was 20071. It was finalized on 12-16-1957. It was filed on 11-13-1957. I was placed in the adoptive home on 6-3-1957. The presiding judge was John J. Driscoll. The adoptee birth name is listed as "Humprey" and "Hunphrey" on the adoption decree, and her adopted name appears as "Deborah", but on her birth certificate it is "Debra".  The adoptee was 2 months premature and was one of the first babies in the new preemie nursery at Christian Welfare. The doctor who did the delivery, I contacted him, and he said that he would never sign a birth certificate unless it was valid. My birth cert. was not signed, but typed. The doctor was Dr. Scrivner. I was very lucky to have survived. It was rumored that my birth parents were married and going to college, and didn't want a child at that time. I found this hard to believe. This is why I am not sure about the name "Humphrey" being the Father or Mother. My adoptive parents totally denied my being adopted until after my mother's death. I wrote the court then, and they wrote back that there was nothing in my file.

Searching For: Birth Parents and Twin Birth Sibling

All Other Information: I do not know if their is paper work that is with adoption or if they just kept me. I think this would have taken place in southern IL. there was a baby girl born on 5-4-1957 in Gary, IN at Gary Methodist Hospital which should be me but, its not because dna test reveiled that. I have the name and dob of someone else and have had it all my life my mother many years ago gave me a tiny blue beaded braclet and a pink tiny beaded braclet she gave to my sister. I found out thru all of my digging around that the braclet came from Herrin Hospital in Williamson County IL. I think their were twins born to someone else and my mother who raised me only needed a girl so I was the one they kept. I think the baby my mother gave birth to was racially mixed and she could not pass that off for long with my dad she was married to. so I have letters that indicate she went to southern IL a week or two after I was born rather suddenly and came home with a diffrent little girl. I would like to locate her as well as she is the half sister to the sister I was raised with. I know this sounds confusing, but I found name change papers and adoption papers that were never filled out when my grandparents died. I know I have a twin out there and maybe living parents or other siblings. could you help me please.

My birth mother's name was Joan Rae Sweeney, age 25 years old no info on my birth father other than age, 28  years old. Name given to me at birth was Mary Christine Sweeney. No address on my birth mother other than she was from Cincinnati, OH. Hamilton County. Also I wasn't born at St. Vincents I was born at Lewis Memorial Maternity Hospital in Chicago then adopted through St. Vincent's.

All Other Information: I am searching for my father’s birth parents. He was born on 10-22-1958 and his birth certificate was amended on 12-19-1968. My father passed away in ?-?-1996 and I did not find out he was adopted until he passed away, I have tried to get info from others who were adopted by the same people my father was but none seems to have any info to give beside the fact that my father had severe asthma when he was born and he stayed in the hospital until he was 6 months old. I have been looking into getting his original birth certificate but because he and my mother were not married his name is not on my birth certificate so the larime agency of idph is telling me I can’t request his birth certificate. So I am looking for my maternal grandparents of surviving family members. I am the only living biological relative so I feel very alone not knowing anything about who I am and where I come from. (Update) David Andre Bracy was 6'4" tall, with brown eyes and brown hair.

Searching For: Anybody Birth Family, Medical History.

All Other Information: My mother was also adopted.  and she was separated from her husband at the time of my birth. she had filed for divorce.  so there is no way to know  the name was fictitious, her maiden name, her birth name, her married name or her adopted name. she had two children at the time. 4 and 5 years old which would be ?-?-1954 and ?-?-1953. the girl was older. her husband and my father both had a kidney ailment called Brights Disease.  her adoptive father died when she was five. I was baptized at holy name cathedral on Dec. 24th. but I already tried sending for a baptismal certificate for Frances Kathleen Emmerich and they sent Mary Kathleen Rice.  I have tried the same thing with vital records and am awaiting their reply.  my birth mother went to catholic charities (she's had been referred by her parish priest) in 7-?-1958, and lived at home during the rest of the pregnancy.  I think that's about all...if I think of anything else, I will let you know...thanks, Mary Kay

Searching For: Adoptee, Birth Brother
All Other Information: Birth sibling was adopted out at age 2. My mother is seeking her brother, who was two years younger. It looks like he was placed for adoption at/around birth and legally adopted in late 1960 (at age 2). The adoption agency says that the adoptive father was in business for himself and the adoptive mother kept the books for him. He was born the Decatur and Macon County Hospital at 11:39 a.m. on 11-14 -1958. He was 8 lbs., and 9 ozs. The birth mother's name is Betty Louis Smith from Newport, Arkansas. The birth certificate has the residence listed as 3647 North Water, Decatur, Illinois. Birth father was omitted on birth certificate. The biological mother had Huntington's Disease, which gave the adopted child a 50% chance of having the disease. My mother really would like to talk with her brother who was adopted out.

Searching For: Birth Father, Medical History.

All Other Information: I am searching for my birth father or any relatives of my father. With G'S Registrys' help, I have located my birth mother, but she refuses to give me my birth fathers' name. My birth parents were very young at the time of my birth mother was 15 years old and my father was 18 years old. I was 9 1/2 lbs. at birth. My birth father worked at his families'restaurant and was Roman Catholic. He is described as being very Italian with a dark complexion and brown eyes. We have made contact with several of the birth fathers age / classmates and they have given us three possible names that might have known Judy. They are Joe Crifasi from Missouri...Phil DiCenso and "Augie" Albert DiCenso from San Jose, California. The High Schools were Cathedral / Griffin and Springfield High School in Illinois. We do not know if he is even aware that my birth mother was pregnant as she left Illinois and moved to Florida with her mother as soon as she gave birth to me. We were also given two names who might know these three individuals listed as possible fathers. They are Jim Herron from Springfield, Illinois and Russ Steel from Springfield, Illinois.Thank you in advance for any information you can find to help me in my search.

All Other Information: I have been searching for years. I don't know if it was a boy or girl no one will tell me anything. I was young when this happened so I don't know a lot of information. The birth mother eventually became my sister-n-law but she used a fake name. Her real name was Arline Hill she is Onieda Indian and my brother is white. They married about 2 years later and two of the siblings are dark complected and one is very light with reddish brown hair.

All Other Information: Adoptive parents changed name to Paine when I was young. I do not want adoptive parents to know I am searching. They are old and my adoptive mother has some emotional problems where she would not handle it well. Unfortunately she would take it out on my adoptive father who has chronic illness and most likely kill him. Judge Otto Kerner singed the birth order but I do not have the information in front of me. I can provide later is need as papers are safety deposit box. I think is may have the agency and the attorneys too but I cannot remember. I have 6 children of my own and would like to find our who I really am and anything about my family health history along with knowing who my birth parents were and the circumstance as to why I was put up for adoption and if I have any birth brothers or birth sisters. (Update) My hair color is brown and my eyes are hazel.

All Other Information: I am primarily seeking my birth family medical history. As a father of three sons I feel it is important to impart any birth family medical information I can. I am reluctant to seek a personal relationship with my birth mother, as she may have no desire to become involved with me. I appreciate her request for anonymity when she gave me up for adoption and don't want to insert myself into her life. If my birth mother would like to speak or meet me, I would welcome that opportunity. (Update) I am 5'9 1/2" tall, 172 lbs., I'm 54 years of age, so my formerly red hair is now blond (and gray).

Searching For: Birth Father, Medical History.
All Other Information: I am searching for my birth father. I think my birth father lived in Paris, IL 1959. My birth mother I know was born and lived in Paris, IL. She worked at a shoe factory. She married shortly after my birth but not to my birth father. My birth mother, Mary Lucille Ramsey Bush, goes by Lucy. She has three other children, Tabetha, William and April (deceased). My birth mother has indicated she knows who my birth father is but doesn't want to talk about it because it was a dark time in her life. My birth mother lived in Paris, IL with her mother, two brothers (Kenneth and Harry) and sister Linda. My adoptive parents would travel to Paris, IL for the doctor visits. My birth mother moved from Paris, IL to Springfield, IL the last month of her pregnancy. She lived with my adoptive parents until I was born. Dr. Bienke delivered me. My birth mother specifically requested I not be shown to her after my birth. After leaving the hospital, my adoptive dad drove her back to Paris, IL to her mother, Mary Elizabeth (Ashley) Ramsey's home. My adoptive parents paid all medical expenses. The adoption was arranged by Reverend Fred Hendrickson of the First Assembly of God Church in Paris, IL and Reverend G.E. Mandel of First Assembly of God Church in Springfield, IL. My birth mother, along with her mother, two brothers and sister attended the First Assembly of God Church in Paris, IL. My birth mother confided in her pastor about her pregnancy. Reverend Hendrickson, thru church functions, had been told by Reverend Mandel of my adoptive parents desire to adopt a baby. The two ministers arranged the adoption. I have contacted my birth mother, her two other living children and their spouses. They all live in Denton, TX. I received a response from one daughter, Tabetha, who said she had known about me for a couple of years but her mother (my birth mother) didn't want to discuss me. I have also written letters to my birth mother's siblings and other family members. Everyone has stated they do not have any information and even thought I have assured them I would cherish further communications, my offers have been refused. (Update) Birth mother was 20 years old when I was born - 8-29-1939 is her birthdate. I do not have any information on birth father. I am 5'5" tall, with blue eyes and brunette hair.
