Hello, I was adopted in NewOrleans, Louisiana in 1962. My date of birth was march 26; 8:04pm based on the certificate I hold in my possession. Though I am not absolutely certain, I recall being told being adopted thru Sellers Baptist Childrens Home. Regardless, I could not have stayed long as my adoptive parents were aware of me / offered for adoption within a few days of birth. Due to regulation at the time, and research into their background, I believe I stayed at Sellers no more than 4 - 6 weeks.. I would sincerely love to hear from anyone having information regarding my family!
