please let me know if anyone knows more about this.
I was told in 1989 by a woman I was paying to help me search that my mother might of been at the Homestead maternity home and that the records were burned by a Rev. Durham and then the home was closed.
Also that they allowed the babies to go home direct from the hospital.
Also that they used the All Saints hospital in Ft. Worth Texas.
Also on my birth certificate it says my mother lives at 3207 James street. I was told and sent a map that there isnt that address. I was also told that this address is close to where the Homestead maternity Home resided. Does anyone know where that home was at in Ft. Worth?
Or anything about this Rev. Durham?
I know Im asking alot but Im back on the horse so to speak and Im on a misson.
Finding my family!!
help!!

I would love to talk to any Homestead adoptees or birthmoms. I was there from June through November 1970. I found my birthdaughter in 1997. It had to be one of the top greatest experiences of my life. Please contact me on here or privately at pollyspeed@bellsouth.net

I was there when your birthmom was. I would love to get more details. Perhaps I can remember something about your birthmom. She gave birth around the same time I did. Please contact me pollyspeed@bellsouth.net
Sincerely,
Polly
I'm a Homestead birthmom. I was there from June 1970 until a week after my daughter's birth, around the first part of Novemeber 1970.
I would love to hear from any of you out there from Homestead. Maybe if we put some our heads together, we can piece some of the puzzle together and get y'all reunited with birthchildren/parents!!!
By the way, I found my daughter 10 years ago. It was truly an awesome experience.
Please let me hear from you guys

I am a Homestead Adoptee. I was born May 10, 1970. I was told that my records were destroyed and I was unsuccessful at getting the sealed records through the court. I would be interested in knowing my heritage, and my health risks. And I would like to thank my biological parents for not aborting me. I understand my mother was 16 and unmarried, and my father was 18 and in the military. I was fostered for 6 weeks before being placed in a wonderful family. My foster parents called me Anne. This is the only information I have.

I found out that I was an adoptee of Homestead and my supposed birthday is March 1, 1971. I did some searching and found posts that said the birthdays were changed to make it harder to find the children. I saw your post today and was curious.... Could you be my mother? And if not, maybe you were in the home with her??? Any information would be helpful! My email is wileylastor1551@hughes.net Thank you for your time!

I was a birthmom at Homestead in Fort Worth, Texas. I entered the home in Sept. 1970. It was owned, if I remember right, by a retired minister and his wife. We went to school at the home which was located near where Harris Methodist is located now and close to Rosedale Street. I remember it as a 2 to 3 story red brick bldg. We all had chores, had to do our classwork and go to Dr. appointment, which was Dr. Parchman. I was so unhappy there because I didn't want to give him up but had no choices, or so I thought at the time. I gave birth on Feb. 21, 1971, and it was a difficult birth. I was really sick and all I remember was how mean one of the nurses was to me, or some of the things she said hurt me! I never saw him or held him and all I remember was that I cried all the time and still to this day, it affects me, even thought I have come to terms with what happened and I know it was the right thing to do I have since been married for 22 years and have two beautiful 13 year old twin boys. I have searched for as long as I can remember, but with no luck. I found out that the Ministers son burned all the records, but I will not give up and will always think of him until I am gone. I pray he is with a loving family and now has one of his own, but wish that he could hear it from me and meet his brothers. Now you know my story and I wish I could help you with your search....let me know.
Lost love in Texas.....

I am looking for my birth parents, siblings, grand-parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, ... family. I was adopted through Homestead around May 10, 1970. My bmom was supposedly 16 and of English Irish descent. My bdad was supposedly 18 and in the military. Her name was probably Cunningham. My foster mom called me Anne. I have a letter from her to my amom. My adopted parents provided well for me but l have always felt like l didn't belong. I would like very much to know my heritage even if l never get to know my birth parents.
