I am searching for my birth sibling and have been for many years with no luck, even no luck on getting ANYONE to help me with non id info so here is all I have. I hope SOMEONE may be a match...PLEASE even possible ones let me know!! I do not know the sex of the child or the actual city of birth.
This is all I know as of my own digging, and mind you
I started out with only knowing I had a sibling out
there. That was it! So I think I did ok, so far, now I
am STUCK!!!
My mother ,she was 17 and a junior in high school (Mesa High School )when she was
sent to Florence Critteon (spelling?)House in Phx. She was admitted on 08/09/65 and
left for unknown reasons, it says she left willingly,
at 36 weeks ,approx 8 months along. Her expected
due date was 11/02/65 but may have been sooner. My
brother and I were early by an average of 2 months. So
that is a possibility. A family was waiting to adopt
ASAP they said. Maricopa County Child Welfare handled
the adoption arrangements but it may have been
changed to Family Services of Arizona at the last minute.
Thay lady I spoke to said proably not though. She ( my
mother )was born in hillsdale Mi = on 04/02/48 in Hillsdale MI. Her name was Luana Dean Boatman. I am Rebecca A Misenhelter (Huddleston) and am her youngest daughter. She has A Daughter Wendy, 35 a son Sean 32 and Myself 30. Sean and I were born here, Wendy in TX and she has a different dad.
Welcome to the Search and Reunion Message Board!
NOTE: The State of Arizona has a Confidential Intermediary Search Program that will locate and contact birth relatives!
Using a Confidential Intermediary:
The following parties may use the services of a confidential intermediary:
Birth siblings age 21 or older; adoptive parents or legal guardians of adopted adults age 18 or older; adopted adults age 21 or older; the immediate, adult relatives (age 21 or older) of a deceased adopted adult; birth parents; or birth grandparents if birth parents are deceased. A confidential intermediary must obtain written consent from both parties before releasing information. Adoptive parents may file an affidavit that prohibits the confidential intermediary from contacting the adopted adult unless the adoptive parents remove the affidavit or the adopted adult files an affidavit stating that he or she knows he or she is adopted and wishes to make contact with the birth parents. Birth parents can file an affidavit prohibiting contact with birth siblings.
