I am looking to converse with anyone who stayed at the Methodist home in New Orleans to have their baby. I had a son born 3/17/72 at Baptist hospital. I was only 17. I am in the beginning stages of trying to find my son. Naturally, the adoption records are sealed. I would even like to get non-ID info. How do I even go about doing that. All of this is new to me.
Hey,
I run a website for the Protestant Home for Babies, but it has a lot of Louisiana information.

Non-identifying Information (Non-ID)
At the time of the adoption, the birthparents (most often the birthmother)were asked to supply basic information concerning her family life, her health, education, hobbies and similar things. This information provides the basis for what is referred to in adoption
circles as "non-id."
Likewise, adoptive parents supplied similar information to the agencies or lawyers that were handling the adoption.
According to the agencies and lawyers, this information was used to provide a suitable match between adoptive children and theirprospective parents.
You can ontain your non-ID from the state of Louisiana. If you have previously obtained your non-id from Protestant Home before it turned over records to the state, I would suggest requesting it from the state as well. I hear PHB's non-id was a more thorough but the state's non-id sometimes releases unknown facts.

I "think" birthfamilies are entitled to this as well. You will have to re-word the non-id letter!

I also understand that the success rate of having a reunion from your home is great. I don't hear much of a success rate from the Methodist Home - which distresses me.....it seems even the paid searchers have a problem...does anyone know why?
I don't find that many birth-moms online, so you have that going for you! There is a gap in the computer generation that makes it a bit harder for most to search online. I suspect that the gap will close soon, but the more recent adoptions are open anyways.
Have you looked through and registered on all these sites? [URL="http://www.protestanthomeforbabies.com/Links.htm"]http://www.protestanthomeforbabies.com/Links.htm[/URL]
Also, a really good group located in both New Orleans and Baton Rouge is ABC. They are very knowledgeable and helpful! You can e-mail them even if you are not in the area...
