That helps a lot. Now I know for sure where it was. If I come across anything I'll be sure to let you know. Good luck! Debbie

Hi Debbie your're welcome, I wish I had something more to add. But I have just started looking myself. Maybe we can find something. I read a message board the other night on some other board, and the person said they were there in 69 so It might still be there. I lived in thompsons orphanage in the 60's, and I could not find it anywhere until I read on another message board, and found out the new name. But you are the first that I have seen to even mention faith cottage. But I will still be looking If I find anything I will let you know leigh

Hi Leigh! I just wanted to let you know that I found my birth mother's name. The girl that went to the courthouse for me said her moved lived in Asheville since 1950 and she didn't know about Faith Cottage. I was wondering that since my birth mother was supposed to be Baptist, it might be at Ridgecrest. If you don't know this is a Baptist retreat in Asheville? I think that I may petition the courts to have my adoption records opened. With all my health problems and my age, I understand that I have a good chance. I did get my "original Live Birth Certificate" and I have to say it was a great moment in my life. Even though I had some of the info in my Non-Id it was good to see. I told my mom and she is all for it. She always has been especially since I have been so sick. Isn't it funny, my adopted mom is 82 and my birth mom is 62? Let me know how you are doing with your search and if I can help in any way. Debbie

It was on Adkins Street in Asheville,It was torn down in 1848.
