I am searching for my birth sister. I was told when I was 13 years old that my mother had given a child up. I have tried since I was 18 to find her. My mother is not very giving on details. She does not want me to find her, she is against it. I guess when my sister turned 18 she had contacted us to talk to us but my mother sent her away. The only information I have gotten out of her is that she was born the early part of May in 1972. I think it is either the 3rd or the fifth. I know she was born in a women's hospital in Penn. My mom did not register under her own name is registered under Leslie Koskovics. That is all the information I have come up with. I would love to meet her, and let her know she does have biological family that cares about her.
