Hi. I was wondering if he has sent off for his "non identifying information"? This will not give you the birth parents names but may tell you his heritage. I got mine from Ohio (I am searching in Az for sibs) and it gave me the ages of birth parents,height,weight as well as color of eyes,skin and hair. Religions and marital status were also listed. I know different states give different info on this form. It won't give you direct answers but may be helful in the long run. And as an adoptee even that tiny bit of info made me feel good to know and kept the search torch lit!! Best of luck Wendy

Was just wondering if you ever got any more information? Wendy

Hi Wendy!I actually belong to the AZ Search and Reunion registry and e-mailed with you a few months back.I just sent a message to joan with some new info.He was born @ St josephs hosp; referred by F. Crittenton. His mother was English/Welsh, and she even gave him a name: Dale. This has been harder for Tim to take than I thought. I didn't know that it would affect me so strongly, but I wish I could find her.Tims grandfather and uncle were both Navy officers, and they are all from the D.C. area. Tim was also Navy for twenty years. He siad tonight he followed in the family tradition of a family he doesn't know.Any suggestions on where to go from here? I'm all ears!God Bless,Candie

Wow!! That's a lot of new info! Get it posted on the Az. site. Here, go under the "search" and then "Washington". If his family was from DC, maybe that (if they are looking for him) is where they will look. So we need (ok you!!) to get his information under Arizona regisries as well as DC registires. Load them up. Keep track of where you post, write down the sites in a spirial. That way you can a) go back and update as needed and b) if you ever change emails, you can still update your registry. But you gotta get your postings under both states now. You never know! Also make sure to post it under more general places here like "reasons for searching" and "sealed records". The more you get it out, the better your chances of some one seeing it. Ok. So I need to aslo ask if there is a way your hubby might get on these forums. He can "lurk" around and not post if he doesn't want to. I just gotta tell you that here is one of the best support systems IMO. You now see how the tiniest bit of information can be SO emotional. He, and you, need to read other peoples stories as you continue to search. Would you please be sure to do that? We doen't always get the ending we want, this is a huge roller coaster ride, hang on tight!! K. I gotta go to bed! Please keep in touch with me. If I think of more I'll re post. I don't always read every thing that comes through on the Az. search support emails. Ugh!! I just wish that I had more ideas!! Let me sleep on this. Wow!! All Navy men. That must have thrown you both off! The more I find, the more I find out that my personality is not my own!! Hugs.....big big hugs!! ;) Wendy

Ok well you can tell by my post that I cut Geography class!! Anyway! Post post and post!! Don't let others do your foot work, let them guide you but when it comes down to it, you want to make sure everything was done correctly! Was he actually born in Arizona? Have you gone through the legals yet (are you in Az. to do that?) That may give you more clues, and even her name. Ok. That's about all I can come up woth before coffee! Keep me posted! This is going to turn out well I think!! Oh, make sure Joan updates the AZ site as well with his new information. Hugs Wendy

Hey Wendy!I was feeling pretty frustrated until I read your posts. It made me feel a lot better!Yes, I have been posting on every site I come across. I was up way too late! Tim was born in Phoenix(St. Josephs), and adopted out of AZ Childrens home. He was placed on 2/16/62, but his adoption was not finalized until 10/09/63. Isn't that a bit long, especially back then? I mean, it says in the papers that she didn't want to see him for fear of botching the adoption, but she bothered to give him a name. I just think if you give a child a name, they are real. Not someone you're likely to ever forget.I know it doesn't seem logical, but I just have a hunch SOMEONE is searching for him. He doesn't want anything, maybe just to know she did it out of love.I tried to get him on the sites, but he said he didn't feel good. I think he's taking alot in. He could have passed his grandfather, or uncle walking through the NSA, or met him on a flight overseas! How Bizarre, eh?Have loads more info, but e-mail me @ butterflykissez1971@yahoo.com, K?Hugs,Candie

Hey hun! Just sent you an email and I'm about to eat some Pizza!! Zit city here I come!! Do me a favor and see if you can come in and edit your post, you need to take off your email addy ok? Hugs, Wendy

Hey there, hon!Boy you are certainly a go-getter!!I have been trying with exasperation to edit the post for about an hour now!!I went through the FAQ, and it says there should be an edit button. Now unless my eyes are worse than I anticipated, I CAN'T FIND IT!!!!!Hugs and Good wishes,Candie

Well crud! I'm not really sure how to do it, I just know that you can .......somehow!!! So tell me when you have the time how you and Tim are doing? I know when I got my non id it was like holy cow. And the only new things I found out was that I was raised a different religion then I was born and that my bmom was married BUT my bdad wasn't!! Surprise surprise!! I can't wait (duh, I'm sure you can't either) until you all find out and get photos and stuff. But please make sure you're both prepared for any outcome. K? Cause mine was not what I had hoped for you know. Not to say that's what will happen here but if you read around you'll see it can go so many different ways. So has Joan given you any new ideas or leads? Have you gone through the legals??? Tell me more tell me more!! Hugs Wendy
