Searching For: Genealogy Records
All Other Information: My great grandmother’s parents for genealogy reasons. I only know she was adopted. My mother mentioned that Emma might have been adopted by family. I tried Google for any info, but no luck. I have a Ancestory.com and found a death certificate, but on the certificate it is indicated parents unknown. My mother also mentioned something about Emma’s parents maybe died in an accident of some kind, but I have no details. It seems she might not have awaited adoption long at all, but I have no idea which relatives adopted her if that is correct. All I have is what I have given.

Searching For: I am searching for information for my Grandmother's birth parents, Genealogy Records.All Other Information: Based on the family history that has been passed down from my Grandmother's sister, we know that Frieda (Gertrude) was adopted from a Vigo County Orphanage, East of Terre Haute, IN at about 5 years of age. Her birth father's name was John Lane, supposedly and he and the birth mother were both musicians and they were divorced after her birth. Peter and Pauline adopted another girl, Helen before they adopted Frieda. Both girls were not allowed to search for their birth parents. Frieda was able to find her birth mother in Indianapolis, while she was married to my great grandfather, John Rookstool. She did visit her a few times in Indianapolis and was disappointed. After Frieda passed away in 1931, her birth mother wanted to come and help my great grandfather raise the four children. My great grandfather wouldn't allow it. My grandmother passed away recently and it was a life goal to find her biological grandparents.! I am now trying to carry on her wishes and find our biological family. Any information would be very helpful and extremely appreciated. (Update) I would imagine that since my great grandfather was her informant for her death certificate, that they celebrated on her birthdate on 12-13-1899 The date on that states 12-13-1899.The marriage certificate to John Rookstool has her birthday as 12-18-1898. There's an Evangelism (sp) message board that posted deaths and what have you. It has her birthday down as 12-13-1900. The birth certificate of her oldest child, Richard, who was born 7-14-1918, has Frieda's age at 18 years old when he was born. The birth certificate of her 2nd child, Angela, who was born 5-21-1921, has Frieda's age at 21 years old when she was born. The birth certificate of her 3rd child, Carol, who was born 12-18-1924, has Frieda's age at 25 years old. The birth certificate of my Grandmother, Christine, who was born 9-27-1926, has Frieda's age at 26 years old. We do know that her adoptive parents, Peter and Pauline Soltau (there are many variations on how people spelled the last name), weren't too keen on allowing there adopted daughters to have knowledge of their birth parents. We know they lived in Oakwood Park, in Syracuse, Indiana.

Searching For:  Caryl Sylvia Pattison's birth mother. Her name may be Bertha Jones.
All Other Information: Caryl was my grandmother. The family lore is - When she was born she was taken from her birth mother and put in a convent for 5 to 10 years by her birth father, Henry (Harry) Olin Pattison. Then he retrieved her and brought her to live with his new wife, Eva Hudson in Peoria. I see them in the 1910 census. Caryl never knew who her birth mother was. She spent her life searching. Caryl died in 1960 never knowing. I'd like to answer this question for her.  I found a marriage between a Bertha Jones and Harry O. Pattison in 1899 in Marion, Indiana (may be Marion county, not city) This would be a few months before Caryl is born FHL Film Number: 413541  Reference ID: pg 188 RN 405  In the 1900 census Bertha is listed as Bertha Pattison and living at home with her mother, Alice P Jones.  Then in August Bertha marries again to George Flanders. I don't know if Bertha is the correct birth mother. It would mean a lot to my family to answer this question. Caryl was so sad to never know her birth mother and it greatly impacted her life and family. (Update) Birth mother Bertha B Jones was born in 7-?-1881. She had a younger brother Charles, born in 7-?-1884.  She was 18 years old at time of Caryl's birth in 8-5-1900. The birth father Henry Olin Pattison was born 4-2-1878. Caryl was not adopted by Eva Hudson. Eva was her stepmother and 2nd wife of Henry.

All Other Information: Searching for the birth parents of my grandmother, Josephine Shipley Fruitt. Researched for years, very difficult because I have conflicting facts. Her adoptive mother died in 1908 in Laketon, IN. Her adoptive father left her at a neighbor’s house (John & Sadie Kroft) around 1909 / 1910. Grandmother never saw him again or any family. Oral history says she was born in Disko, which lies on the Fulton Co / Wabash Co line. Also close by are Kosciusko and Miami Co. Making matters worse Dr. Shipley was a country doctor who had licenses in those counties. I just received my grandmothers SS application in 1951. In it she states she was born in Indianapolis (no on heard this before, may have gotten info from the lady who raised her). Any tips on early adoption records would be great. I've had problems at county courthouses wanting an order from a judge to research. All parties are dead.

All Other Information: My great-grandparents Charles and Fannie May Porter lived in Kokomo, Indiana in 1909. There is a death notice of a newborn son in the newspaper with a date of birth and death of 6-27-1909 listed with my Great-Grandparents name. However, they brought home a baby girl. There was a widowed woman named Porter who had a baby girl on the same day in the same hospital. On my great-grandmothers death bed, she told my mother that my grandmother was adopted. We have not been able to find a birth certificate, only a baptism record. We have been led to believe that my great-grandparents brought home the newborn of the Widowed Porter woman. However, we do not have any other information and there is no documentation to be found.
(Update) Margaret Anne Porter was around 5'3" tall, with brown eyes and brown hair. DNA testing has been done with 23andme. It shows German descent. My maternal grandfather immigrated from Great Britan in 1914.  My paternal grandparents descend from Amish and originally from Switzerland.

All Other Information: My family at one time had the adoption certificate and this is the only info. my brother recalls Also, Adoptive parents were both previously married. My mother had told me at one time that she suspected that she was somehow related to her adoptive parents because she had the same looks as her adoptive father. In 4-?-1930 census Katheryn B.Miller states that she has a 10 month old infant residing with her and Paul A. Miller Very little info. My mother (Joyce) is deceased. My grandparents are possibly as well. I do know that my mom was adopted from an orphanage in Indianapolis, IN. in Marion County, by Paul A. & Katheryn B. Miller. Paul A. worked worked as a production manager at the iron works in ?-?-1930 (Census states). My moms middle name is "K" just the initial. She graduated in Quincy, Mass. in ?-?-1947 then went on to Katherine Gibbs secretarial school. While attending there she met my father, Joseph F. Trainor Jr. on the public bus commuting to schools. I recall my mother telling me someone, a good friend of her Adoptive parents left her 30,000.00 in a will which she used to build my childhood home where they settled in North Kingstown, RI. Katheryn B. Miller had family ties in Sun Valley, CA. Robert and Maxine Morrison. I know my parents went to CA. to marry around ?-?-1950 eventually returning to RI. But had many visits to the Morrisons Sun Valley, CA. home. Joyce, my mother, as well as her children referred to them as "Uncle Bob, Aunt Max, and there was another woman, older than Bob and Maxine who resided with them. We called her Aunt Mary. Bob and Maxine had children with names beginning with the letter "R"  There was a  Rance, ReneJen, Robin ? I think another female?  I do believe Rance was the younger one. Age in 1974? 26 to 34 years old?  Uncle Bob, Robert Morrison passed away in ?-?-1974, summer time, possible "73" - no cemetery records on him as he was cremated. (Update) Adoptee was named Joyce Katheryn Miller though she went by Joy "K" Miller as she had differences with her adopted mother and dropped her middle name to thew initial "K" Later found in 1930 census that she was named Joyce Katheryn Miller when adopted. I petitioned the courts in Marion Co. with the name I had at the time (2005) as Joy "K" Miller and they stated they had no adoptee under that name. I called them at a later date to ask them to try under different spellings of Miller and the phone was answered "Mental health adoptions" I hung up in shock. I later called again and asked why, who, what with the mental health adoptions? And the new person said "she answered the phone that way?" Needless to say I feel my mothers birth (parent)s had issues mentally. This is not a concern. I only want to know my history, for myself, my siblings and all of our children. (Update) Joyce Katheryn Miller had dark brown hair and blue eyes.

Searching For: Birth Mothers Birth Parents, Birth Family, Medical History. 
All Other Information: I am looking for anything that will help me find out exactly who my mother really is. She has passed 3 years ago and I am her oldest child. She was taken from / placed for adoption by the Zartmans along with several other children including my Uncle Jack Lee Zartman / Wallace. Since I and my sisters and brother have compared all the names she has used, and her telling us she "stole" her birth certificate, I need to found out the truth. My grandchildren and daughter depend on it for medical reasons.  My mother was also arrested when she was a teenager when she was hospitalized from a car accident around the Peru, Indiana area. She stated she was 15 years old then and was placed in the Indiana School for Girls in Indianapolis. If anyone knows anything about my mother, please contact me.

All Other Information: I am trying to locate my father's birth family. I have a letter written by his birth mother where she calls my father Robert Allan however, I have no idea what his birth last name was. I have heard that perhaps his birth parents died in a car accident. I also have a describency in his birth date. The Birth record states he was born 5-20-1939.  However, I have a Madison County Superior Court document that entered his birth date as 5-30-1939. I beleive it may be possible that my father was adopted within his own birth family but I have not been able to find anyone that may had a child in this year of birth that would be a possible match.

Searching For: Adoptee
 
All Other Information: Birth mothers name is Mary L. Ketchmark. She used alias when a sister was born in So. Bend In/Marks and when I was born in Fort Wayne In she used the name of Anderson. However on the legal adoption papers was her legal name of Mary Ketchmark. She passed away 3-2-2004 and took all the secrets to the grave. A cousin saw a birth certificate before she passed but she got rid of it, nothing was in any of her papers that would help us out. The family thinks she went to Gary to have this child but I'm wondering since she lived in Valporaiso In., she could have went to Crown Point, Merriville etc. Also, since this was during WWII if an orphanage might have been involved since there were hard times. Catholic Charities involvement? My sisters' adoption was handled through an attorney and I through Catholic Charities of Fort Wayne. I was born 11-29-1939 but wasn't adopted until 12-23-1940 as I was ill so they tell me. That's' my story. So I'm in search of a brother who would be 62 now if we have received the right info. My problem with this is ,are we sure this birth happened, its only hear-say and nothing concrete. The only thing I know to do is search Baptismal Certificates and maybe get a lead.

Searching For: Adoptee, Birth Sister

All Other Information: Josephine was from Forest, In and the assumed birth father was from either Forest or Frankfort, IN. He was married to, I think, Opal Clark. The orphanage (located at 11 N. Pennslyvania St)  Mother's DOB was 12-16-1919. Mr. Clark worked for Montgomery Wards in Frankfort, IN. during at least part of 1941. I found old letters and diaries a few days ago and this was the first I had known of this. My aunt told me that mother had had a baby girl but the aunt could only remember the man's name since she was in her mid-teens at that time. I'm 63 and my sister is five years older than I so I'm just praying to find her while before it's too late. I can only determine a birth date by letters posted 11-28-1942 to 12-4-1942. they were sent to an address in Indy and seemeingly forewarded on to the hospital to my mother. I  know that my mother sent money each month to this oprhanage. Thank you to any and all who may help with this search... I know less than nothing about trying to find my birth sister.. God bless all of you who do this work! Will keep searching for any additional info there might be. (Update) I have no idea how old the birth father was, would assume mid 20's or so... no idea what he looked like but my mother was 5'2" tall, about 100 lbs avg. light brown hair and hazel eyes. (Update) Birth mother was 23 years old when the baby was born. Emily Wiggs was the case worker that sent a letter on 1-7-1943 from Children's Bureau of Indianapolis Orphan Asylum.

All Other Information: Hi, my name is Julie Burcham, I just found out last night that I have a half brother born in 1947 in Marion County, Indianapolis Indiana.  His mother and mine was Wyoma Jean Fanter who was 17 at the time of his birth.  His father's name was Paul, they were from Rushville, Indiana.  Paul is black, my mother white, this child would have been mixed and in 1947 that was highly frowned upon. My mother's D.O.B 3-27-1930,  she had him at an unknown unwed mother's clinic. That is it, that is all I know.  Want to find him desperately, you see my mother went on to marry my father and have 10 more children.

Searching For: Adoptee, Birth Sibling

All Other Information: We are 5 adult siblings who found out recently (after mom was diagnosed with Alzheimers Disease) that she had given birth to a male sometime in (we think) 9-?-1946. An aunt told us that he was born during the Jewish Holiday that year and we are not exactly sure of the days...As we are all in our 50's we are sincerely desiring to find this older sibling as soon as possible. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Other Info: We also found out that she had been married prior to being married to our father, Jack H. Monninger. The man's name was James Shoemaker or Shumacher (not sure of spelling) but was divorced from him....he is not the father of the baby. She apparently had a relationship with a man named Paul White (worked at Eli Lilly Labs..where our mom worked). We have been told that he is the father. His wife, at the time, apparently gave birth to a daughter a few weeks before our mom had this boy. Thanks so much. (Update) My brother's birth date is 10-12-1947. I did locate an uncertified copy of the birth record which only lists birth date, name at birth as Infant Male Repass, place of birth as RR #16, Box #581 which was my grandmother's address. When I called the department where the record came from they told me that meant he was born at home but I know that he was not and born at either Methodist hospital (where myself and other siblings were born) or at st. Vincent. It lists Mom's state of birth as Indiana and has father's state of birth blank nor does it list his name. Certificate # is 10065 and the file date is listed as 10-16-1947. It says Marion county Health Department records show this information and that it is a non-certified copy of birth, stamped in red letters "this is not a legal document" and "copy released under I.C. 5-14-3-1. This is everything listed on this form. On the form we filled out we weren't sure what her name would be listed under because she had been married and divorced before but it is listed under Imogene Lemon Repass. We are almost positive that the father's name is Paul White and he lived in Zionsville, IN all of his life. This came from both my mother's sister and her brothers wife (whom my grandmother and mother tried to get to adopt him but they wouldn't do it for understandable reasons). They have both passed away but we feel this is the most accurate info that we could have gotten. We were told that she either worked for Paul or they worked together at Pitman Moore Labs during ?-?-1946 or ?-?-1947. She was single and he was married and according to what we were told and then I did confirm it through records, she was pregnant at the same time as my mother and she gave birth to a daughter in 1-?-1948. I have done alot of research on the White family and the daughter and her husband still live in the home in Zionsville, IN where Paul and his wife and family lived until his death in ?-?-1949. I was able to locate a directory at the Zionsville sullivan library that listed Paul & Jewell white, and pitman moore was listed right underneith it, but the one thing I have not been able to do is to find anyone who can confirm that he did work at Pitman Moore although but aunts were adament about that. He does have a son who was born in ?-?-1939 which would have made him 10 years old at the time Paul died and might have known if he worked there but I don't even know if he is still alive nor have I ever intended to disrupt his children with this information. Paul's obituary from 11-?-1949 states that he had worked for the last several year selling livestock with his father in law. I do know that the daughter born in 1-?-1948 is still alive and living is the same house in Zionsville and there was another son also. I have gotten alot of feedback that his wife did know about my mother and the baby but she would not give him a divorce but of course I don't know that for sure. But I have no idea as to whether the children ever heard anything about this or not although it was a small town and it appears that alot of people in town did know and that is why it is so surprising to us five kids that no one ever told us about it or we never heard any rumors growing up which we did not. She lived at home with her mother and step father while she was pregnant and I believe worked as an elevator operator while pregnant (that has been confirmed by people who remembered seeing her while working) at a department store in downtown Indianapolis. According to my aunt my mom and grandmother wanted to keep the baby but her stepfather wouldn't allow it and so that is why the adoption took place. Even if we can't meet him I would still like to know that happened to him and if he had a good life. I would just like for him to know that he has 5 half siblings (of which I am the oldest) still living on my mom's side and I would leave it up to him about the white children. I would love to be able to see a picture of him when he was a young man and now. I have worked so hard on this research and this info would at least fill in a few more pieces of this big puzzle that I did not find out even happened until I was 55 years old. I also have a brain tumor which was removed and grew back (non malignant) so I really don't know how much longer I have to do research and would sure like to have some of my questions answered.

Searching For: Biological Aunt. Linda Jean Harper
All Other Information: My dad was born in ?-?-1950 in Portland, OR. His mother Doris Jean Harper died a day later from polio. Doris had a 2 year old Linda Jean Harper. Both kids were adopted to different families. There was an article in The Oregonian about Doris giving birth with polio 10-26-1950. Possible addresses could be 140 SE 81st Ave, Portland, OR, or 726 SE Ash St, Portland, OR. The article says Linda Jean went with a sister in law, but I've been told by birth cousins that neighbors adopted her and moved to the Medford, OR area. The new father may have worked in the agriculture industry. Linda Jean may have gone to school for nursing. Obviously some family member kept in contact with the adoptive parents, but they have all passed. Doris and her husband came to Oregon from Lafayette, IN sometime in the late 40s. After Doris' death, her husband Francis "Johnnie" Harper went back to Indiana without his kids. He was most likely murdered by drowning in the Wabash River in 1960. Doris had three brothers that came to Oregon as well. Jack Fall Foster, Thomas Ace Foster, and William Foster. Jack and Thomas are buried at Willamette National Cemetery in Portland. They did not get Linda. I got Thomas' death certificate which led me to his niece, Karla Foster (my dad's cousin) who told me everything that I know. She just remembers the stories being told as a child. She didn't know Doris or Linda, she was too young.
(Update) Birth mother was 23 years old at time of birth. Birth father was 26 years old. My dad was 5'9" tall, with blue eyes and brown hair.

All Other Information: Searching for my husband's, Robert Lee Chattin, birth parents, possible birth siblings and medical information. I started this search on 2-8-1982. I went to get his birth certificate and when they could not locate his name they asked if he was adopted and I said yes. They connected the dots you might say and since only one boy was born on that day they told me the records had never been sealed (lucky for us) and I could go to the clerks office and get a copy of the adoption decree. cause 24136 State of IN, Knox Co, 7-10-1950, Ralph Seal Judge. We also have a copy of his original birth certificate from City Board of Health, Vincennes, IN, with birth parents names on it, recorded in book 1949 page 119. After I obtained these documents I went to talk with the delivering Dr., a family member, Dr. Herb Chattin, to see what he could tell me. He did not have any records but said she was a high school teenager from IL. I checked area schools in IL that day and could not find any records of her. Numerous phone calls were made and led to dead ends. When we talked to Robert's adoptive parents they were told the birth mother was a school teacher and the birth father was in the service and she could not keep the baby. In 9-?-1996, we registered with International Soundex Reunion Registry and Reunion Registry of IN. In 12-?-1996 we prepared a letter to be forwarded through Social Security to any male with the name Robert Lee Mullens within a certain age range. We do not know if there was ever any match as SS cannot give that info. but we never heard from anyone. We recently purchased a DNA kit and will send in this week to Ancestry. After joining a DNA Facebook group recently I was directed to Search Squad and this site. I hope you can be of some help with our search for birth parents or even birth siblings. To have so much info and not know where to go is hard. His adoptive parents have passed so it easier to start the search again without hurting them. Also another bit of wired information: We were contacted in 1994 by a lady claiming to be a half birth sister. We met with her and she had a list of 15 names that supposedly had been fathered by Robert Lee Mullens with several different women and all put up for adoption. That seemed odd so we never pursued that. Robert grew up on a farm near Vincennes until 1958 when his family bought a farm in Jasonville, IN. Thank You for your help. please contact us if you need anything else. (Update) Robert is 6'1.5" tall, with blonde hair at birth, changed to black and wavy, now white, started graying in high school.

Searching For: Adoptee, Half Birth Sibling
All Other Information: My mother is Frances Hooker Moon. Before she married my father she had a baby out of wedlock whom her parents made her give up. She was sent to Indiana where she had the baby which was a boy from what she told me before she passed away. He was born sometime between ?-?-1950 to ?-?-1955 ? is my educated guess. I am thinking she was sent to an unwed mothers home but I am guessing. I have 3 brothers I was raised with but I would love to know who my other brother is. Just want to let this person know he has birth siblings if he wants to contact us.

All Other Information: My husband David was born the third of four children, but his parents were separated at his birth and he was adopted out. Then the birth parents got back together and had an additional child before eventually divorcing.  After he was adopted, his birth date was changed by two weeks to 5-12-1950. When he was in his 20s, a nurse who had been  present at his birth gave him some information about his birth family, but he declined to try to meet them out of deference to his adoptive mother. The nurse said that his birth mother was a piano teacher who moved to California and later died and that his father was an engineer, possibly aeronautical. One of David’s brothers was a National Merit finalist in Indiana.  The nurse provided a photo of his siblings and their children that she wanted returned immediately. Some of the family members had red hair.  David’s adoptive parents have passed on and he has many questions about his birth family.

All Other Information: 
My uncle was born in Linton Indiana 7-26-1952 he found out that his real father was James Harrold And that his mother had a affair with this man. he was never really adopted by his step dad., Now we are looking for his birth dad. All we know is he told my uncles {James roser } mom that he was from Amarillio Texas and that he was a truck driver. H e would be about 83 years old now and that he was born around 1924 0r 25.
On my uncles birth record  it does say birth father James Harrold But his mom and I guess you would say step dad gave him the last name of Roser. That was his moms married name Ester Roser. It would mean a lot to him If someone could find out about this man. My uncle is now 55 years old and would love so much to find his real dad. And to see if he has other family members he don't know about. He don't know when his father was born but he believes he would be in his late 70's by now. We don't know where to begin to find him. We would like to know if he is still alive or if he past away. all history if possible

All Other Information: All I was told was that my birth mother got pregnant while her husband was at the Korean war. Marion Co. Welfare handled the adoption. I was 6 weeks old and had been fostered by a lady who called me Margaret. I have not posted at any other registry. I am sorry I don't have much information to go on. My parents were not told much. I tried to get a copy of my original birth certificate from Indiana ?-?-1998 and they told me they had no record of birth for a Connie Lynn Andrews. I wasn't given that name until adoption. So that is probably why they found no record. I was adopted in 10-?-1951. I think the date was in the middle of the month. I hit a road block in ?-?-1998 so I stopped the search then. I have recently lost my certificate they gave my parents that certified the adoption. I need some sort of birth certificate for Social Security and other legal purposes. I also need medical history as I am aging and need to know if I am going to need to be aware of any hereditary problems.  I have a desire to contact my birth parents/family. I hold no hard feelings toward them. I was blessed to be placed in my family. There is just something about knowing where you come from.

All Other Information: I was delivered By my adoptive fathers brother (Dr.Bennett Thayer not sure about first name spelling) I was told that my birth mother was very young and she was sent to live with her greatgrandmother or grandmother when she found out she was pregnant with me. I was told I was born in that house and my adopted parents drove from Frankfort Indiana(on Walnut st). I was a toehead child (almost white hair) I tanned very quickly, I almost looked Hispanic. I have been searching for 16 years and I still have nothing to show for it. I just found out I have a blood disorder that is passed on through the family It is called (G-6-PD) I have 3 daughters and 4 grandchildren. I need help for them then for me. Thank you and any info not matter how small will be wonderful. Thank you and Good Luck,God Bless.

Searching For: Adoptee

All Other Information: Adoption information is a child born to a William Pearl Satterfield and Lucia Mae Henderson or possibly Mae Henderson in Richmond, Indiana at the Reid Memorial Hospital or a neighboring hospital.  From my limited memory since {I was in my teens at the time} is that this is a female we are looking for born sometime in the fifties. Time span approximately ?-?-1952 to ?-?-1956.  She would be my first cousin.  Now these two also had another child later on born in ?-?-1959 but she was raised by her parents in Richmond.  We  feel that she may want to know this family since there are a lot of us.  Unfortunately William P. Satterfield just recently died.  I had indicated a few years back that I would try and locate this person. Guess I just didn't know how to research and had no computer at the time.  I will appreciate any assistance and if this adoptee is not interested in meeting the family then I will no longer pursue.  The original family consisted of 13 children.  There are currently eight remaining siblings.

All Other Information: My grandparents Arthur & Marjorie Strouse have passed away. They adopted my father when he was 3 days old. I have a hand written note from my grandmother with the birth mother's name and a city. I can't read the last name. She has spelled the name Silvia with the last name of Semor or Semar. This was the mother's name at the time of birth. I am sure the woman probably married at some point.  The city of Brookville, IN is also written on the paper. I am not sure why. I believe he was born in Franklin, IN and I do know the adoption took place in Madison, IN. This is pretty much all I have to go on...  Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.  We have searched the adoption registry with the state of Indiana and rec'd nothing useful. No medical records and nothing to go on. (Update) My dad's James Arthur Strouse hair color and eye color are both brown. His height is 6'.  We do not know his birth mothers or birth father's height.

Auna looks more hispanic but both just have white on adoptive birth certificate.

Searching For: Birth Parents, Birth Siblings, Any Birth Relatives, Medical History.

All Other Information: I was born in Dr. Lydia Shapiro Home / Office. My birth certificate says 1-16-1953 but for some reason my adopted mother wrote it as 1-7-1953, so I just wanted to put that out there just in case. I am a Black / Gray market baby. $500.00 paid to Dr. Lydia Shapiro. She falsified everything & is deceased. I had my records opened with the CI program & have what was there. But it is not much & unsure of what if anything could be truth. So much falsified info I cannot validate anything. Only thing I do know is that this Dr. delivered children in her home & not in a hospital. Sold them & made sure nothing could be traced back to birth mother. I have letters written to my adoptive parents about selling others if they knew of any other people looking for a child. Some letters were not so nice at times. Birth mother (Agnes Jeffers),was supposedly an accomplished pianist (my adopted mother said she remembers Dr. Shapiro making this statement). She was 26 years old at the time of my birth. She was from Missouri. Do not know why she was in the Fort Wayne, In. area, just that I was born there. Birth father (Stanley Smith)

Henke passed away on 5-31-2011 at age 57 from complications of end stage renal (kidney) failure. He was born with 1 kidney and many health issues that lasted throughout his lifetime. These may have been a contributing factor to why he was put up for adoption. Still searching for his birth family.

All Other Information: Unable to find any proof of his birth. Our adoptive parents said he was born in Ohio and adopted at 9 months through Lutheran Social Services in Fort Wayne, IN. Our father lost our adoption papers many years ago and at age 86 claims he doesn't remember a lot of details. A search angel checked Ohio records and nothing was found but he said that maybe Indiana didn't report back to Ohio as they should have. He contacted Darci Johnson at the Indiana State Dept of Health and they also have no information on him. Lutheran Social Services records are held by either Fort Wayne Children's Home, and / or Catholic Charities. The actual records are stored in the basement of the children's home. He was probably born through Woodhaven Maternity Home, at Park view Hospital, next door to the home. They had reciprocal rights between Ohio and Indiana, and sent babies back and forth. Would finalize most adoptions in Adams County, IN. (Update) Patrick Walter Ball is 5'10" tall, with brown eyes and medium brown hair. We were tolled birth mother was 16 or 17 years old at time of birth. We have no other info on birth parents or birth family at this time. (Update) Custody given to: Lutheran Children's Aid Society of Cleveland, OH upon birth until 11-3-1955 Transferred to: Lutheran Social Services Inc., Fort Wayne, IN on 11-3-1955. Adoptive Parents took custody: 11-24-1954. Adoption Finalized: Auburn, DeKalb County, Indiana on 12-21-1955 by Hon. Harold Stump.  (Medical Emergency Search)

All Other Information: I was adopted at, or near, my birthdate of 9-30-1957. I know nothing about my birth parents, other than I may have been named Susan Kim Simpson, by my birth mother. I have never searched for my birth family until now. I am on Ancestry.com, and took their DNA test. It came up with two possible 3rd cousins, which mean we would be related by the Great Great Grandparents. I have the names of the Great Great Grandparents from one of the possible cousin matches from their site. This is all I know of my adoption. My adoptive parents have both passed on. My adoptive family, and I, moved from Anderson, Indiana, to Ohio when I was about one year old. (Update) I am 5'2" tall, with blue eyes and dark blonde hair (very light blonde when I was young. I have no other info on my birth parents or birth family at this time. (Update) My birth mother was 23 years old when I was born.  My birth mother was born in Wyoming.

Searching For: Adoptee, Birth Brother
All Other Information: Anthony was being cared for temporarily in a local Foster Home. Peggy his birth mother was sick and pregnant, She was working and needed help to care for Anthony at the time. Anthony was not being left for adoption. Peggy worked to hard and when she delivered Baby Ronnie Joe Correll he only lived a couple days because his lungs had not formed strong enough. Upon leaving the Hospital Peggy returned to pick up Anthony. He had been moved to another location, the people who had been caring for Anthony would not tell her where her birth son was. No one in the system would give her any information. Anthony had disappeared. Through the following years Peggy started recieving petitions to sign adoption release forms. Each time she tried to track through the paperwork she recieved she got shut down and learned nothing. She never signed her birth son away. She continued to try to find him untill the day she died 6 years ago in 2007. The last paperwork sent to her to sign for Anthony to be adopted was in 10-?-1964. I am Anthony's older sister I was born in 1955, at same hospital in Peru, IN. I want to find my birth brother. We have one aunt left who is 72 she is a blood relative. Both birth parents and all grandparents are deceased. A realative told me once that a young man came to their house and knocked on the door thinking he had found his birth father, it was the young mans uncle. The young man was in a Military Uniform but he took off when he was told his birth father was not there.

Searching For: Birth Mother, Medical History.

All Other Information: Both adoptive parents are deceased. We were told that Chuck was adopted through the welfare office. His birth mother was 16 years old when she gave birth. The story goes that the birth mother lived in Flordia with her parents and was sent to her grandmother's home in Gary, Indiana to have the baby. The Grandmother wanted to adopt the baby, but the welfare department would not allow her to adopt because of her age. The baby was placed in a foster home, and the welfare department delivered the baby to the Horne's residence late 12-?-1958. Marie had indicated that she was packing to leave for their Flordia vacation for Christmas when she received a call from the Welfare Department that they were bringing the baby. The baby had blonde hair and blue eyes. His mother now would be approx 67 years old. Unfortunately, Charles Russell took his life 10-27-1994. However, he did have two children that would love to meet their grandmother and get any medical history. Questions have arose about bipolar being in the family.

Searching For: Birth Parents, Birth Family, Medical History.

All Other Information: Just want info on my birth family and medical history. (Update) I do not know anything about my birth parents, The only thing my adoptive mother said was birth mothers grandma was with her at hospital. But not sure how true. I did have court papers that stated. In ?-?-1959 I was declared abandoned and neglected and a ward of the state. My adoptive mother and adoptive father relatives all said they did not know until my adoptive mother showed up with me. I a m 5'3" tall, I have blue eyes and black hair growing up turned grey at early age. I was sent to speech when little due to a accent mostly with letter O, strange I know. I was also told private adoption paid for then adoption agency. But no one knew about the adoption till they had me. I feel my birth mother named me Angel. My adoptive mother said Holland, Indiana.

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

All Other Information: I know that my mother was 18 and that at the time of my birth she has a son who was 18 months old.  According to what little I have found, my mother was approx. 110 lbs when she became pregnant, she is of Irish decent.  My birth father had fathered other children.  As I am the only child of my adoptive parents and my adoptive mother passed away 18 years ago and my adoptive father is now 80, I would really appreciate finding my mother and brother so that he could meet them if they wish. He is very supportive of my efforts to search.  Unfortunately, he can not find any of my adoption papers.  My birth mother would be 61 or 62 now.  My brother would be 43 or 44 now.
