October 17, 2006

I was born at Fermin Desloge Hospital on 11-08-70.

I was born as J. Strake to my mother J. Strake.

I was placed at the orphanage in St. Ann for adoption.

My birthmother then "retrieved me"

from possibly the orphanage either by her story,

right before Christmas, or by Catholic Charities date

estimate of March, 1971. As a teenager I once

found notesaddresses from the sisters to my

birthmother about my well being.

My date filed on my birth certificate

is January 14, 1971. My birthmothers maiden name

of J. Strake is listed, so my birthmother and

step father were not married until approximately

April 1, 1971, at St. Monica's church in Creve

Couer. Her age is listed as 20. I believe she

was most probably in St. Ann, or Creve Couer,

at the time of my birth. She also was most likely

attending Florissant Valley Community College.

My name of my birth certificate is listed as

J.Birthfathers name.

Birth records show her address at the time of my

birth as Catholic Services for Children and Youth-

410 Lindell, St. Louis, MO 63108. I was admitted

at 1:30PM and she was discharged 11-11-1970.

My birthcertificate was signed 11-25-1970, received

1-11-1971, and filed 1-14-71. She had also been

previously admitted. Duratiin of labor shows 19hr

4 minutes, a breech delivery, and the time of my

birth at 7:59PM.

Catholic Charities was without any non-identifying

information. I have checked with them numerous

times over the years. And yes to others searching,

they do "find" new information that has been left out

previously. I discovered this when I dealt with

determining the dates I was placed in the orphanage.

I also noticed her birth year being listed as 48,

instead of the actual August, 1950.

I've also heard that my birthfather now has a

family of his own.

I am now almost 36 years old, with 3 children,

and I've struggled with having a relationship

with my mother since I learned of these situations.

She states that this man has never wanted anything

to do with either of us, and that she is afraid

for our wellbeing if she let me have the information

I am seeking. So the information that has been

provided to me by my biological mother, her family,

and my step father, have only sent my search spinning

into a million different directions.

I guess what I am finally finding the courage to do

is to see if anyone out there might want to anonimously

provide any information to assist in my search.

And to share my experiences with my search with others

here at this website.

Thank you.
