Age of adoptee when adopted 2-3 years old -- the Iowa 1930 Census lists my mother and her adoptive parents living in Mason City and her age is listed as 2 years 10 months old. They later moved to Waterloo. I sent the County Clerk a letter requesting information -- they replied that they had no record of my mother or an adoption. My mother had to get a passport in 1962 which required a birth certificate (see attached) It shows her birth in Cedar Rapids and has an Iowa State File record number 57-26-4548. She would recall a memory of being in an orphanage (she assumed Catholic) and running into Paul Adcock's arms the first time they met. Somewhere she got the idea that her birth mother was an unmarried young woman who had an affair with an older man. She thought her birth mother's name could have been a woman named Grace Dietz (sp?) and had no idea of her birth father. Date Received: 7-13-2017 Date Posted: 7-14-2017 Last Updated: 7-14-2017

All Other Information: Searching for any information regarding an adoption in Sioux City, IA in 1929 or around then. My mother was found on a bed in an empty house while the residents were out. The article says that Mrs. Bowman knew of the mother and child and decide to keep her. They did things like that back then. My mom is now deceased and this is just me wanting to find out information. She always felt she came from either another family member or close friend of her folks. She had a step sister that was about 16 years older names Iris Bowman. She always wondered if she really was her birth mother. It's probably a needle in a haystack, but maybe just maybe someone knows something. A baby just doesn't appear on a strangers bed one day. (Update) Patricia had blue eyes. Date Received: 8-9-2017 Date Posted: 8-9-2017 Last Updated: 8-10-2017

Birth mothers ethnicity was Czech, birth fathers was Norwegian. (Update) I never knew my birth parents. they both died before I tried to find them. I have hazel eyes and brown hair. both my birth father and birth mother had brown hair. I don't know what color eyes either of them had. What I did find out was told to me by a gossip lady that lived in the same town. because I was born 5-18-1940 my birth mother had to drop out of school the last semester of her senior year to give birth and then joined the next class and graduated with them in 1941. I don't think my birth father ever knew that he made my birth mother pregnant. he moved to Portland, Oregon and formed a trucking company. he was reputed to have died in Phoenix, AZ but I don't know the date. I think his name was Robert Olson. I don't know much more than all this but I will try to help if I can. sincerely, Bob Zill thanks a million.

All Other Information: ear Search Squad, Here is my second post: Here is my issue. I would like to find the family of the couple who raised me until I was about four. I do not remember our last name. I think my father was Dale and I think they named me Grace....baby memories. We lived at 1316 Broad Street in San Luis Obispo...of course, I did not recall that address but I recognize the house. Here is what I have discovered using ancestry.com: 1. Birth mother Evelyn Brennaman (married to Ray Glime at the time of my birth in 1943). Living in Council Bluffs, Iowa. Birth father Elmer Lyle Larsen (married to Theresa Larsen with a 2 year old daughter, Janet, at the time of my birth in 1943), Living in Lincoln, NE. In 6-?-1947 or 7-?-1947 ? , my birth mother came to SLO and took me by force with her. There was quite a scuffle and I remember 2 men in tan uniforms carrying my dad out the front door and he seemed unconscious. When I got to Nebraska my name and birth date were changed. (Evie and Elmer had another daughter, Jannine, 3-2-1946. I have her birth certificate and a photo taken at her first birthday. Evie had remarried (divorce from Ray Glime, 8-?-1945, I have copies of the divorce proceedings from Pottawatamie Couunty Iowa). Harold Curtiss and moved to Lincoln, NE. I was adopted under the bio of the other little girl (adoption dated 5-?-1948). I do not know what happened to the little girl but consider the possibility that she died and that was the reason for the "replacement". Anyone looking for me would have challenges since I have a new name and a new birthdate and Evie has a new name and has moved to NE. In 1950 the Curtiss family moved to a very small town, Emerson, in Northeast! NE (pop. 690) Do you know how I could learn about the history of adoption in California ? This is my thinking: I know there was a glut of illegitimate babies born during WWII and the system was strained finding adoptive parents for the children. Could it be possible that Evie gave me to someone related to her ? To a friend ? somehow, she knew where I was living. What questions should I be asking ?. Here a few scattered details. Ray Glime, Evies first husband, and his trucking partner, Gerald Van Fossen (Gerald was married to Evie's sister, Dorothy. Dorothy was about 16 months older than Evie) transported dynamite to the West Coast. Ray, Evie, Gerald, Dorothy and 2 Van Fossen children (Harold, and Doris) lived together in Avoca Iowa (notes Doris Van Fossen Coberly made about her life) about 1940-1942. Evie filed a deed to the house at 3708 B Avenue in Council Bluffs, Iowa in 12-?-1942. The Van Fossens has moved back to Center Point Iowa by then. Evie's best friend was Elisabeth Curtiss, sibling of Harold Curtiss. They were classmates at Empire Beauty School in Omaha, NE, graduating in 5-?-1947 ?. I do not know how long they had been best friends before that. Elisabeth introduced Evie to Harold at a party and they were married that same week (6-21-1947 or 6-22-1947 ?). Elisabeth's oldest brother, David W. Curtiss, was stationed at Camp Roberts, CA (about 45 miles north of SLO) and deployed to the European theatre just after D-Day. I have emailed his son for the exact dates. This is a challenge, to be certain, but I loved my California parents very much and it would mean so much to me if I could find their families and re-connect. The first picture is my full sister, Jannine Brennaman born 3-2-1946. The picture was taken on her first birthday. 3-2-1947 The second picture is dated 7-?-1947. This picture is me I am between 3 and 4 years old. The third picture is me, taken in ?-?-1949 ?. (Update) Birth mother was 22 to 23 years old at time of birth. 5'1" tall, with brown eyes and black hair. I am 5'2" tall, with blue eyes and dark brown hair.

My mothers adopted mother would never say who she was adopted from only that it was impossible to find her birth parents records due to the building where the records were kept was destroyed. And all records lost. My adoptive grandmother had 3-4 sisters one named Gladis and another whom we called sis her name was Lorraine Thomas all other siblings I don’t remember names have all passed away. My mother heavily resembles my adoptive grandmothers sister Lorraine Thomas and she has a son Coy Thomas whom my mother heavily resembles.

All Other Information: FYI: My adoptive dad was Clerk of the Lee Co Circuit Court in the mid 1950's, based in Ft Madison where his office was. Judge Leary was a friend of his and may have assisted in arranging my adoption. I believe my birth father's first name was Harold and may have owned the Dairy Creme in Keokuk at the time? My birth mother I believe was from MO, which is just over the MS River there in Keokuk. I believe they are both deceased perhaps in the past 10-15 years. I have been told I have siblings in Keokuk. I would very much like to know the medical background more than an actual meet and greet but that can be arranged if they are willing. I do not want to impose. Good luck and I welcome contact if you need more information. (Update) My adoptive brother, Craig L Franklin was found 10 years ago by his half sister Abbey Etter, also from Keokuk, Iowa. The half sister Abbey, owns a beauty shop there and her husband Lenny Etter is a retired Keokuk, Iowa Police officer and as such has access to information. At the time they were searching for Craig, they did a little research on me. Another half sister told me this evening that my birth fathers name is Charles Stevens. He is deceased and passed away prob 10 yearrs ago at perhaps age 80. His wife (not my birth mother) passed within the past 2-3 years. This information was given to me by Audrey Shaffer of Keokuk, Iowa who worked at the Hennegiges Plant in Keokuk, Iowa with Linda Stevens, Charles daughter in law. Her husband Charles natural son is named Mark Stevens and is perhaps early 50's. He has older brothers I was told. I saw an obit online of a Pauline Stevens with a death of 2008 but the children names did not match. I was told my birth mother was from Winchester, Il but I was born as stated in Keokuk, Iowa. Abbey Etter (see above) told me some time ago that my birth mother died of alcoholism which whether true or not, leads me to believe my birth mother. lived in the community. She would have to for them to have that information.

All Other Information: Found birth mother who graduated from Spearfish, SD high school approximately ?-?-1949. Went by name of Ann Schmidt (I think) She is now deceased. (Update) I believe I was adopted from the Florence Crittendon Agency in Sioux City, Iowa. My birth mother (deceased) said that the birth father was in the military and stationed in Spearfish, S.D. when she got intoxicated and pregnant. She was engaged to another man at the time, so she left Spearfish, S.D. and went to stay with a relative in Sioux City until after my birth. I do not know if the info about birth father is correct - just the story she told me. She was born with the last name Markhardt from Mitchell, S.D., however she was raised by relatives in Spearfish, S.D. with the last name Schmidt and she took the Schmidt name and had no relationship with the Markhardts. My maternal grandmother died in childbirth with my birth mother, so my birth mother was "taken" away and raised by her mother's sister (Schmidt's). She also said that she never told anyone she was pregnant - especially the birth father. (Update) My hair is blonde and I have hazel eyes. I believe my birth mother was 18 years old when she gave birth to me and I do not have an age for the birth father since I do not have a copy of the original birth certificate - only the amended one which shows my adoptive parents as the partents.

All Other Information: (Update) I have always been told, by my adoptive family, that I was taken home from the hospital at 3 days old. My actual paperwork adoption went through Polk County District Court, Des Moines, Iowa when I was one year old. In 6-?-1953. I believe. I have always been told the story...that my birth mother was a student at Drake University (which is in Des Moines) and that she was from California. She was 18 years old when she gave birth to me (At least this is what I was always told) I was told that my birth father was a Des Moines Police Officer...who was married. My adoptive mother always told me the story about the time my birth mother was 8 months pregnant with me and she wanted to go home to California and see her family before I was born. Her attending physician...and my adoptive parents' physician...was Dr.Robert Gerald Hatchitt, D.O.....whom I was named after. He tried to talk her out of it. Telling her that if she delivered out there in California that whoever the attending physician is....that he would have the right to be able to adopt me out to any one of his patients that he has that are waiting to adopt. She was determined and went anyway. Long story short...she made it back to Des Moines, IA and I was born there on 7-3-1952. When I turned 18 years old I had a close friend who was attending Drake University. We went to their library and searched and searched. Could not find a hint of any Dorothy Opal Blake. We even went to the Des Moines Police Department and looked through all the pictures they had lining their walls of all officers every one on the police force. Our thinking was maybe we could find someone who I looked like. Strike 2. No luck there either. Every time I see or hear anything that's linked to California I feel a pang. I do truly believe the part about my birth mother being from California...because for some unknown reason I have always felt like I belonged there. (And yes I have been there) :-). One time I found a piece of paper in a chest of drawers at my home. I was probably approx 12 years old at the time. On it...in my fathers distinctive handwriting, was this. Roberta's birth mothers Information. Maiden name: Blake, Background: English-Irish, height 5'6'' tall, weight: 125 lbs, hair: auburn. Ever since that day I have always felt that I looked just like her. I've never seen her...but in my youth that description could have been used to describe me.

Email Address: brendaeven2@yahoo.com Searching For: Adoptee, Birth Brother All Other Information: I'm searching for my birth brother, Patrick Eugene ______. My mother was placed at the Catholic Home for Unwed Mothers located in Sioux City, Iowa. She was 17 years old when he was born. Our mother nursed him until he was 6 weeks old, which is when they found an adoptive family. Our mother wanted to keep him, but her parents refused to assist her, as well as lay claim to him.5 or 6 years later, our mother went back to Sioux City. She wanted to make sure he was having a good life, otherwise she would have fought to get him back. She made contact with Sister Eugene (his namesake). All she could share was that it was an Irish family, so they kept his name Patrick Eugene. She also told her that at that time, he was living there in Sioux City. Our mother went to the school and they were out for recess. She tried to spot him in the crowd, which she thought she did, but not for certain. Patrick's birth father was Lutheran, and our mother was Catholic. Kirk (birth father) wanted to marry our mother, but his mother convinced him the baby was not his. It is felt that she did this as back in 1957/1958, it was against all odds that a Catholic marry a Lutheran. My mother's maiden name was Bartholomew, however, I think she might have been registered as Jean Whitney, or maybe Agnes Whitney, Agnes Bartholomew ?.

I also was told, again with no confirmation, that my birth mother's family may have been from New Mexico and have had ties to the newspaper or publishing business. I was told that my birth mother was petite with brown hair, and that my birth father was tall and blonde. Please, please, please help me find any of my birth family members. I am alone, never had children, have lost both of my adoptive parents and have lost most of my relatives from their families. I would like to connect with my birth relatives and hope they will want to with me as well. I am a good person, love animals, work for a non-profit. My careers were as a Legal Assistant and then Teacher. I have been healthy all of my life, but recently have had some health concerns. I worked hard to earn a graduate degree and try to live a life anyone who knows me or is a family member would be proud of. I hope you will help me. I apologize for rambling, but I really want this to work. Thank you so much. (Update) I am 5'6" tall, with brown eyes and brown hair. I have done DNA testing with 23andMe.
