I was a hard to place adopted African-American who is 1/2 White although I was recognized as a Black woman, very light skin. I lived with a Black foster family for my first 2 1/2 years. I have tried to find my birthmother using the Commonwealth of Kentucky adoption resources in Frankfort, Ky. I was told my birthmother did not wish to know of my whereabouts. Since she had some college I am told at the time of my birth and although she gave me my first name, Trudy, I am assume she had begun a new life and did not wish to know of me. I am also told I cannot find out any information about the woman who raised me for my first 2 1/2 years. When I was adopted my family was given several pages of information about my birthmother, her family and the family history of my birthfather who did not know of my birth. For this reason I cannot understand why other family names and personal information is unavailable or why I cannot find other means to contact my birthmother. Do you know how any of this information can be contested with the state of Kentucky or if there are other means of finding birth parents? Thank you. Claire Tarpey

Claire,I am the woman who gave birth to you. I chose what I thought would be best for you and am still angry with Eric for seeking you out. He is a silly man and has caused severe damage to our family. My error was in being truthful on his birth certificate.....well, live and learn. When I gave you up for adoption it was a choice between having you killed in the womb or finding people who could love you. I arranged for; and, was told that you were adopted from the hospital and I never saw you. I was medicated during the entire birth process; so, I never felt you either. I named you because the hospital insisited that I do so....Trudy was the first name which popped into my head. I don't know of anything that I could tell you which would make you feel any better about being adopted; except, I chose life for you instead of death.....only you can decide which was better. If you need to speak with me for some sort of closure you may get my contact information from Eric.
