Ladies please if you have a deep dark secret as this one. Tell it!! Come forth with the truth. Many of us make decisions we dont want to do and regret in that this is one decision in my life I would have changed. This memory canҒt be removed from my mind because I was forced to make a decision from Social Workers, family, courts, and others. I was a young confused and very vulnerable teenager at this time. They used my rapes as a child to change my mind. Social Services said the father of my daughter has made threats to kidnap her. He in no way has said this as he told me 10 years later.
I gave birth to a 7lb 6oz baby girl on 6/7/67. The courts may have changed her birth date surrounding her real birthday. She was born at Denver General Hospital and now known as Denver Medical Health One in Denver Colorado. She is bi-racial mixed with Black and French Spaniard (Creole). It took me 30 days to make the decision of giving her up. I went back to get her because I changed my mind but they already took her. Mrs. Helen Inez Richardson from Social Services informed me the family is from Omaha, Nebraska, him being African American and she being Caucasian. They were radio hosts and were planning to move to California because of a job offer. They talked me into giving her up for adoption. Either that or Ms Richardson adopted her and told me a lie. It all happened to quickly that day. I celebrate her birthday by getting away by myself to think of her birth and what she looked like when she was born. Her baby face is still etched into my brain. I see her beautiful perfect smooth skin, big dark eyes and her jet-black hair that layer down like silk on her face. She had a lot of hair on her head. I loved her then and still love her now more than ever.
Comment to my Daughter: "They were going to change your birth date up to 3 days prior or after. They may have told you, you were born in California so you will not find me. Because of the way I felt at the time of adoption, they wanted to make sure I didn't go back to get you and they were right because I did just that". I love you so much"!!!
I had to seek counseling after giving her up because I couldn't bear the mental stress it caused me of giving her up. I loved her so much and cried every night for 1 year and still cry inside my heart. She needs to know why I gave her up. Every 2 years I go to the Vital Statistics here in Denver and leave my contact information in case she tries to get in touch with me. Her Birth name was Chevette Rene Thomas; I named her before the car chevette came out. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about her. I now have 3 sons, 7 grandsons, 2 granddaughters, and 4 great grandchildren. I would love to find her. I have been looking forever since I gave her up. Every face I see out there and I wonder is it her. Oh I yearned to find my daughter. If anyone knows of someone who fits this description and knows they are adopted, they can reach me at smokeegyrl@ymail.com. Those children who were adopted before July 4, 1967 can now open up their closed records in the state of Colorado. Check with Vital Statistics online and you will see there is a form you can print and fill out.

I enjoyed reading your information regarding your daughter. I was adopted and born on Sunday, June 18, 1967 per my birth certificate which I think was changed. As a child, I remember seeing adoption papers and a different birth certificate but I have never relocated that information. I was told my mother came back for me but after you described your daughter's ethnic background...I knew my complexion was probably too dark. I wish you luck in finding your daughter and you probably don't need to focus on just Colorado. I was told I was born in Florida but after registering on ancestry.com....and taking their DNA test I have found relatives that were everywhere. Be blessed.
