For all who are searching for information about birth mom's housed at St. Faith's Home in Tarrytown, NY, here is what I can share: I was born in March 1958. My birth mother was housed at St. Faith's and I was born at St. John's Riverside Hospital. However, my birth mother did not live in Yonkers or Westchester County - she lived in CT and the adoption agency was Family & Children's Services (FCS) in Stamford, CT. I have read of many adoptions that were handled this way through FCS, especially between 1957-1963 - the out-of-state adoption arrangement makes the search process more difficult, no doubt on purpose. The good news is, in Jan 2020, NY passed a law allowing adoptees to obtain a copy of their original birth certificate. Due to COVD-19, processing the requests has been very delayed, but I received mine in the mail today (I made my request on Jan. 22, 2020)! I hope this helps!
