I am searching for the birth parents and family of my mother, Baby Girl Jones, born 12/24/47, St. Joseph's Hospital, Meridian, MS. The names I have been told are Willa Mae Jones & Jim/James Baker. The adpotion was handled through an attorney in Meridian. (does that mean it is closed???)
I am new to this site and the searching process. Any info or guidance any can give would be greatly appreciated. I sent off for the non id info from Jackson earlier this week & am already anxious for it to return.
I have only one suggestion:
Search the 1930 census for those names in Meridian, MS (or environs). It is searchable for all those details.

A search angel sent me the 1930 census info on Willa Mae/May along with the SSDI info and a birth list of all Willa's born in 1929 plus some more info that I'm not sure where it came from.
I also just received what I thought was the non id info from Jackson. Turns out it was just a check to see if an affidavit for contact was on file. The state now tells me that I have to get an agency to request the non id info even though it was handled through a private attorney.
I am getting less confused with the info that I have. Even have a few ideas on where to go next. But really irked at the State of MS right now. I will keep on chugging.
oh I agree, Mississippi is frustrating in its lack of concern for adoptees and birth parents.
If you are near Biloxi PM me, ISRR Reg Day is around the corner and I can't do it but if I find help quick I could maybe pull something together (no time, ack!).
Good luck

I just wanted to let every one know that I have found my Mother's birth Mom. The initial contact was about 36 hours ago and did not go well. At least we know that she is alive, lives in the Atlanta area and has 4 other children.
I am still searching for information on her birth father. I have very little information on him. He was older than Willa May and she was born in 1929. He was also in one of the branches of the service. His name is Jim / James Baker.

Still no luck with my Mom's Birth mother. She wants no contact. Thought a letter and pictures would change her mind but no response yet.
