Great Resource

Quote From: dniernbe

I am looking for my brother(s)/sister(s). My mother gave up at least three children that I know of in Upstate New York. My mother name was Pauline Mildred Hussey Wilson when she gave birth to the children given up for adoption. I have basic information on two of the births and scant information on the third.

One birth was in Buffalo, NY in 1964-1965. I believe this child was born in Buffalo General Hospital. I have reason to believe this child may have been a boy. The father of this child is Carl Edwin Davis.

The second birth was in Rochester, NY in 1967-1968. This child may have been born in Strong Memorial Hospital. The father of this child is also Carl Edwin Davis.

I have the least amount of information on the third birth. This child may have been born in either Cayuga or Onondaga County and may have been given up to the Cayuga County Home for Children. The father of this child is Donald E. Wilson.

I would very much like to find the missing pieces of my family. Ive wonder who they are and how their life turned out. Our mother passed away in 2004. I dont want to invade anyones life but am hoping they want to find their birth family.

I work with adoptive families and birthmoms every day. We refer people to a company called Big Hugs (or something like that) if someone calls and says they are searching for their birthparents or child. I think the # is 1-800-Big-Hugs but don't quote me on it.

You know, I was not raised by my birth parents but I know that they are my parents no matter what. They are the ones who changed my diapers, put up with me dduring my teen angst, put me through college, and have supported me from day one. Nothing can top them in the parent department!

Hoping someone can help

I was born 3/10/69 in Evanston, Illinois. I'm hoping to find my birth mother/father, or at least a picture and background information. I've longed to find closure to that past even though I've never met either of them. It's not that I feel unloved or rejected for I think putting me up for adoption must have been what they thought was best for me and I have a good family however there is still that empty space within me that longs to find closure.

The last name of my biological mother is either Krizan or Kirzan...I think it's Krizan. I don't want to traumatize either of them as that is a concern, and I certainly don't want to traumatize myself...I realize that I have to be fully aware of the possibility that they have no interest whatsoever in my whereabouts. Even a picture and some background information would be helpful and I could be ok with that.

I'm hoping someone out there can assist me in some way. Thanks in advance and I hope to hear from someone soon.

My biological mother's maiden name would've been either Krizan or Kirzan. It's certainly possible that she now has a different last name.

Again thank you for any help anyone might be able to give me.

We are one in the same

Quote From: browna2004

My name is Amanda I was born In November 1977, for some reason my parents couldn't keep me so they put me up for adoption when I was 6 months old I was adopted my parents now are wonderful growing up I put them through alot but now that I am married and have children i see that it was hard. I did look for them but since the year that I was born and the state I have to go through the Michigan court to locate them like i said i started then I started back up again so one day soon I will have the chance to find them.

I always wonder if they are still alive and If they think about me, I thank god that they put me up so I could have a wonderful life but I still wonder.

Just wanted to share my story because I know that there are other people out there like me.

Amanda

Hello Amanda,

My name is Virginia I was born in March 1973 in Michigan were I currently still reside, reading your story sounds so much like myself. I am not looking for the biological family due to heartache or turmoil in my childhood - I am looking for them because I would like to see where and whom I came from. I was very lucky to have the parents (adoptive) that I had. I was the youngest and my siblings were 25yrs older than I. I am married and have children also - I even thought of adoption with my 2nd child because I had children @ a young age. I kept my child - my adoptive mother was my backbone in all situations...now both adoptive parents are deceased. Michigan seems like the hardest state to find any information on finding your birth parents. Everyone tells me you can find anything on the internet...I beg to differ. I didn't learn of being adopted until I was 26 and my last parent had passed away and she had all the information. So if you have any suggests, please advise

Virginia

Abandoned at birth

I was born on October 21st or 22nd 1972 (girl) and abadoned in Daly City, CA. I found that out when I searched for non-identifiying medical info. I met the police officer that responded to the call, the other had passed away.

I had a great life but lost my mom to cancer and now have 2 boys of my own. Just always wonder what the heck happened. There is no way to search since I have absolutely nothing to go off of.

Searching for birth parents

Okay, I have never done this before and I'm so very nervous. I am 34 year old woman who was adopted out of DA Blodgett in Grand Rapids, MI. My birth date is 8/21/72 and I was born at Blodgett Hospital. I was adopted when I was five weeks old. My adoptive parents were the BEST ever. I love them more than anything and I'm truly grateful for my biological parents for doing what they thought was best for me. I have a wonderful life with alot of family and friends who care for me deepy. Like others on this board, I do not feel like there is something missing from my life. There is no void. I am simply curious as any other normal person would be. Curious as to what my biological parents look like. Do I look like them? Do I act like them? What is their medical history? Are they happy? Not even sure I would want a face-to-face meeting, just maybe a picture and medical history? I do know that my biological parents named me Karen and I believe my biological mother was around 25 and I was her fourth or fifth child. She was not financially able to support all of the children. If anyone has any information, please feel free to respond to this post. Thank you!
