Born 1961- Our half sister was born in Fort Worth (Tarrant County) possibly through Homestead Maternity Home. Possibly adopted under a false name. At the age of 20 yrs. old, our mother was placed (by her father) in Homestead or Gladney in 1961 & gave birth to our sister.
We (her siblings) did not know about her or the adoption until several years after our mom died & we have been searching ever since, with NO luck. Our mother's name was Sandra (Sandy) Lee McClure. Could have used her maiden name, Sandra Lee West.
She did have a son (our older brother, Allen) and surely spoke of him often. Her parents names are E.V. West & Marie West from Burkburnett, Texas. (near Wichita Falls, Texas) The birth father's name was Wendell Sanders, also from Burkburnett, Texas.
Someone claiming to be a former roommate of our mothers at the maternity home called my uncle's home in Spearman, Texas.
His name was Wayne West and this person remembered him and his phone number from when our mother was in the maternity home. We did NOT know about the pregnancy or adoption because that happened before we were born, except my older brother, Allen and he was too young to know what was happening. The female that placed the call to Wayne West never made further contact. We were then told about the adoption and have been searching for her.

Kim,
Gladney offers post adoption services - if your mom placed through them, they might be able to help.
At the very least, they might be able to help you find out if she was there or not, allowing you to narrow your search.
Have you contacted someone at Gladney?

HI,
We have tried going through them....every door has been shut right in our face. I'm not sure why. A few family members believe she was born at Homestead.
Thanks for your help! Kim
