girl 12/15/69 searching for 4 siblings: Karen(1964), Paul(1965), Mary(1966) and Mike

I will start off by saying that this is probably not a match but needed to reply because of some similarities. My hsuband and I have been searching for his bfamily and have some information. He had two sisters and one brother born before him, ironically in the order that your siblings are listed and in the same years. Sister 1 born 1694, brother b 1965, and sister 2 born 1966. We do not have names. He was the 4th child born and was not kept. Supposedly the legal farther listed was not his father but was the father to the other 3. How accurate is the information that you have regarding the parent names, year of bparent yr of birth, and locations named?

Hi there! The info that I have a pretty accurate. I went to court in June of 2003 and requested my adoption records for medical reasons (I have Crohn's disease). I was sent a thick folder with years worth of entries by DSS about my mother and her trials with the children. It started off when she just had three kids and then went through the 4th and I was the 5th. I was under the impression that I was the only one born to another father, but it may be wrong. She sopposedly kept the 1st and 3rd born (girls) and gave up the rest of us. Who knows if she had any after me. I have located her and ironically she lives 5 minutes from me in North Central Mass. I have sent two letters and she has not replied. I don't even know if her husband is giving them to her or if she is just not interested. I am very interested in finding my siblings, would love to discuss with you further if you would like. :)

Let's discuss futher. Perhaps some detils that each of us might find inteesting to our situation? We will lool thru her on our end and post here?

Where was your husband born? Does any of this info match at all. It's kind of weird that all these dates match. Anyway, have you thought about going to petition the courts to get his file? It really wasn't that hard, it took about 4 months for me to receive it after the court date. Now I don't know whether I should keep writing or I should pick up the phone and call her. I sent a registered letter and the post office let her husband sign for it so I don't know if he is just tossing these letters out...how frustrating. How long have you been searching??

We have been searching for probably eight years. I am well aware that you can petition the courts but my husband really doesn't seem that interested or has never taken the initiative to do so . He did go through the process of getting the non-identifying information from the state of MA. This is something he would never have done, or thought of doing on his own. We have two boys and I am curious to know their family history and medical background. They have a right to know where they came from as well. So - my husband knows that I actively search but he doesn't seem to care either way. If I happen to find something or someone someday then maybe he will decide to get involved then and take the ball from there. Deep down I think my husband realizes that he was better off without his birth phis life. The information we do have lists the supposed birth father as being 26 years old and his bmom as being 24. He was capable of being a father himself at the age of aprox 24 and wonders why his bparents couldn't have done the same. Doesn't know them but thinks perhaps they are losers who didn't get very far - is this worth the years of searching, just to meet up with some disappointment? The siblings however would be a different story -I think finding them would be great for my husband. We know from the records that he was born at Brockton hospital on Christmas Day 1967. Bname was William. Bmom name supposedly Karen and possible father = Andrew Caramanica. His bdad is supposedly different than his 3 siblings born before him though their dad is listed as his bdad. There was an illegitimacy case brought against Andrew and the other guy never claimed fatherhood of my husband either. Supposedly Andrew's brother wanted to get custody but because he was not married the state frowned upon this. He lived in RI and my husb. may have lived there for a short period. Lived in foster home somewhere in MA until aprox 10 mos old when he was placed with adoptive parents. His name was changed from William to Scott at this point - we always thought that was strange. Bbrother is mentioned as having cerebral palsy. Older bsis was reported as having hop problem at birth which eventually went healed.
