ISO Birth Family
Mothers age 17 at time of birth.

I have some more information to write about now. I requested non identifying information. bmothers name is Janet. Her mothers name is Annie. She has an older brother named Glen who served in the armed forces. She was in foster care thru the Department of Public Welfare from 11/67 - 2/70. Bfather was killed in car accident in 10/69, presumably around Helena area. Janet was born in "blank" Montana. 02/70 was removed from foster home and placed back with her mother with a referral to be placed at the Florence Crittenton Home in Helena. Assuming then that Janet stayed at the Florence Crittenton Home from 3/70- birth
Also know that there was a hearing scheduled for 07/14/1970 regarding custody of "Baby Girl Shahara".
If anyone has some search ideas with this information, please let me know!

.......she has eagerly awaited this day just as much as I had.....She carried a baby picture around of me for 25 years, it was lost in the move.....She recently lost both of her parents over the last year....and in to her life comes a baby she gave up so many years ago. How am I feeling right now? We just got off the telephone an hour ago. It wasnt how I was feeling right now, it is how I have felt all day.....rollercoaster to say the very least! With very little information to go on, her first name, her mothers first name, her brothers first name, bfathers approximate date of death, bfathers age....I was able to look for anyone in Montana that died at the age of 19 in Oct 1969. Non identifying information gave me information that father was a farm hand, Lutheran religion, Norwegian decent. So I plugged in the month, year, and age at time of death and came back with three possible choices......2 from Liberty County 1 from Silver Bow county during the month of October. Liberty county was the obvious choice as a farming community, so I went thru Classmates.com to find possible siblings with the same last name as the 2 deaths in liberty county of that year. I was able to locate to possible relatives to the deceased men that I had found. The first phone call that I connected with someone left me almost in tears.....so close, yet appeared to be so far. But he did give me a sister of the deceaseds telephone number, so I contacted her. I asked her if her brother ever dated a Janet...and she immediately came back with a last name for me. However it was difficult to spell, so all I got was the first three letters. So I immediately went to Ancestry.com and plugged in the first three letters of the last name and ********* which serve as like wild cards...any letter would fit in that name. It gave me 20 some pages of people from montana with that last name. However, I had bgrandmothers first name, so I plugged in her first name and the first three letters of last name and low and behold, I found a death record for this person. Upon reading the obituary from 11/2003, I found all three names, grandmothers name, bmothers name, and buncles name all in this obituary.....it named a location of residence on my bmother as well as her married name. Directory assistance lead me the rest of the way :-) I debated about calling her for almost an hour......fear of rejection the biggest hurdle to get over. Would she want to hear from me?? Anyway, I knew I would never know the answer unless I picked up that telephone.... it was her, there was no rejection....just lots of answers :) Im relieved in some way, scared in others....... found out the bfather she described in the adoption information might not be biological father. Only tests will tell.....thats my next step. We will see!! Anyway, Im looking at this level headed......I dont expect to find a long lost mother, however, I hope to find a friend! Things have a way of happening for a reason......or none of this would have happened today.....Thanks Montel Williams show for helping me keep the faith to keep looking! (love his reunion shows.....wonder if he will help me get blood tests to confirm paternity hehehehe) I know this is long.....sorry, Im just so excited to find answers and tired from no sleep too Gnight!:o
