My sister was born in Fort Wayne, IN on either July 26th or 29th, 1964. (mom thinks it was the 29th) She had black hair and either blue or green eyes. She was 19-20 inches long and weighed a little over 6 pounds. (mom's not sure how many ounces) My mom was only 14 when she was taken from her home in Wisconsin to the Woodhaven home for unwed mothers in Fort Wayne. Mom turned 15 while she was there and that's how old she was when the baby was born. My sister's father was only 16 at the time and came down to sign the papers after the baby was born. Woodhaven is closed now and all of the records are kept at Crossroads Catholic Charities in South Bend, IN. My mom is trying to go through the system to get some more information. She is waiting to get a call back from someone at CCC, hopefully she gets a call soon. I hope that it is good news because I don't know what mom will do if things end bad. I know that if it would have been her choice back then, she would have never ever given her firstborn up for adoption. She has never forgotten about her daughter. Well that's it for now and Best Wishes to All! God Bless!!
Sincerely,
Tina
