LOOKING FOR BIRTHFAMILY

Do you know your birthmother's name? Hi my name is Jodi I am 30 years old. I am looking for my half sibling and not sure if they are male or female. But I heard a rumor that it was a girl. My half sibling would have been born in 1973. I believe the adoption was thru a thru a catholic girls home. the birthmother had blonde hair and blue eyes and father has brown hair and brown eyes. If you know your birthmothers name, please contact me to see if it's a match.
