Just in case someone cares, I have five beautiful children... one of which is a daughter with blazing red hair and enchanting blue eyes. Like my mother from what I've been told. 520-458-9288 AZ.
Hi,
My mom, from PA, became pregnant as a teenager to a dark Phillipino boy. Her family, afraid of their reputation, took a summer long "vacation" to Virginia Beach in the summer of 1967 to have the child in secret. She remembers very little and says she was drugged because she would have run back to her boyfriend and kept the child.
The whole family is very secretive about the whole thing, and my mother doesn't even know that it was a girl. I don't like bringing it up to her because she gets very upset.
But if I had a lead, I think I might be able to get some info from her siblings.
My mother also tried to locate the obstetrician in the early 80s, but he had died and all of his records "burnt in a fire."
My mother does have reddish brown hair and blue eyes. Her boyfriend had wavy black hair, not like African American hair.
If you know the hospital, doctor, or any other info, and this sounds like it might be a match, please write back. JP

Jeannie,
Did you ever have any luck in your search? I was born in Lynchburg on 7/28/67. I do not know my birthmother, but perhaps they knew each other?
I am looking for my aunt who was red haired at birth and blue eyed but her DOB should have been in 40's-50's,I do know she contacted social services or the reunion registry VA has wanting contact in 1994-1996.
