Boy 1.12.1960 born Spokane Wa.looking for bfamily..Help?!

February 12, 2005

Her is something that may help, since I am dealing with the State of Washington as well.

Found the family!

First the non ID information was requestted from the Cathlic Society and the court where the adoption took place. Recieved a first name and a birthday for the **. It was very limited yet it was something.

I have read that ALL Chatholic Soceity babies are baptized before going into foster or adoptive homes. I also read sometimes the bithdays can be changed. So my first stop was in the town of birth. Went through the achives for newspapers. I found information which lead me to believe the birthdate was correct. I asked around and was able to find out the nurse who was the ob nurse at that time was in assisted living. I went there and spoke with her. the lady just smiled and said she could not be of any help. When I questioned her about the baptizim,she said yes the baby was taken from the hospital and batized at the church. Now the Chathlics have a genology place where all the batizims records are kept. This will uasually be one place per a state. It may take a while but it is worth looking. Look for the whole month not just one day. DO NOT tell them why you are looking or they will not let you look.

By going to towns around the place of birth Taking to the coffe crowds, looking at anuals and just trying to find general area information out, i was able to narrow down the search. I went through and made a list of all the girls with the first name of Sharon over a two year span. It was amazing how many girls had the same first name.

Looking at the annuals this picture jumped out. It had to be her! Found out where the principal from that year was at. He is still living. He was a wealth of help with out his even knowing it. I found out the person in the picture had two sisters, 4 half brothers and the step Dad was the biology teacher. It fits the desciption of the family I am looking for! Oh could it be her? I went to the geneology center and ran the name through the birth index. NEVER EVER tell them why you are looking or they will shut you down. The record showed the sister and there birthdays. Sharons match the person I am looking for. The sister BD are in the correct range.

Found a phone number for a possible half brother. The principle knew there first and last names. Called the man. He had no clue there was even a child give up! But, I have the right family. Everything fits!. One problem....no one has had contact with Sharon for a least two years. Last they knew she was in Canada. The brother gave the phone numbers for the two full sisters and said to try them.

First one was in shock. She said this can not be. The child who was given up had already found them. There could not be two. She was very vague.

Two!!!! Is there a twin? Who is she? Whats she like?

Call number two was to the other sister. She was very helpful and forth coming. She had name of the other girl. A sister! Could she be a full? She had the other girls married name even. WOW! Now the search widens. Determination is setting in. Today is a day to cry. I found out there was more then one baby give up for adoption. Both have birth days in Sept. Time to find her.

I took the name given to me and began to run a 411. I found many who could it be? I started to just call every number and find her. Oh My!

I found her!!! Her name is Elizabeth. She was born 1 year almost to the day the year before. All her information on the father match what I have! She says I have no idea what this means to her. I want to see her. We are sending pictures via email. She was able to contact Sharon. She was suppose to meet her and hasn't. She wants to meet. Chit Chat took place for over 2 hours. now what? She says the phone number she has is no longer in service. How will I find Sharon? Sharon where are you? Do you want to meet your daughter? I want to meet you......
