I was born April 15 or 16,1981 in Bethpage Long Island. I was adopted when I was 3 days old. I weighed 5 pounds 11 oz when I was born. My non-identifying information from the State Adoption Registry of New York says that my biological mother was 35 years old when I was born, completed 1 year of college, and was not married. I have 2 biological siblings who I have never met, and I know how old they were when I was born. My adoption was a private adoption handled by Stanley Michelman. If you have more information or you are part of my biological family please respond.
I just wanted to let everyone know that I called Stanley Michelman at the number listed by ticklemefancy. I got right through and spoke to him. He was really super nice and very helpful and very understanding about my husband's need for information. I wanted to find out if he had possibly handled my husband's adoption in 1965. It turns out he was still in law school then but he helped me to clear up a few questions I had and also gave me some leads to check out. So, I really don't think he's the nasty person he's been portrayed as in this thread.
Also, I did a google search on him and couldn't find any mention of criminal charges against him so if it's true there's no records I could find.
I am a brithmother who gave brith in 1989 in WI. Michealman handled my case he was partnered with Goldhiem at the time. I have an number that I call every year to get my photos. The adoption was "legal" but I agree it was shady at best. I will look for the contact # I have. Maybe it will help someone else.

Mr. Michelman is a great man who took a few liberties to help families who were having trouble adopting publicly. He was not jailed, just disbarred. Even if I knew where he was, it is unethical of me to give that information out. I wish you the best with your search. I am doing the best I can without his help as well. Good luck!

I agree that he has helped many at the "end of there rope" but that does not mean that all he has done has been on the up and up. I do have a phone # for Goldhiem law office in New York they took some of Michelmans case when he left the bar. If this can help someone there is no ethical violation it is public information. The Number is 845-624-2727
Everyone experience is different mine did cross state lines and i have no paperwork to prove the adoption took place. Luckly I do know where my daughter is and the adoptive parents are very dilligant about keeping in touch. Not everyone is so lucky I think we should all be willing to help.:)

Hello, My name is Ana Rose, I was born at Humana Women’s Hospital and adopted out of San Antonio, Texas in 90’s ASA also known as Adoption Services Associates. After the adoption I was immediately raised in London by an American Family. I also have a brother who was also adopted via the same agency but out of Chorpus Christi, Texas 2 years prior. My parents were living in London at the time of both my brother and I, adoption. Thru a family friend of my parent’s who also couldn’t conceive and used ASA, they then recommend it to my parents when they found out they couldn’t as well.
Originally I set out with finding just the truth about my adoption, to hear my birth mother’s story and what led to my adoption. Upon my discovery of the agency, I was also able to find the answers about my birth story, even though not pretty due to what my birth mother endured during the process that wasn’t her choice as her voice had been taken away from her.
Now, having met my birth family and finding my origins I am now turning my attention to the continued search in researching and investigating everything about ASA. Down to the lawyers, adoptees, birth mothers and adopted parents that were involved, affected and wrongful treated that are willing to work with me at uncovering the truth and bringing this to light.
Due to my mother’s voice and parental rights wrongfully taken without her knowledge at the age of 22 years old by a third party whom secretly arranged my adoption that benefit her, I am now on the mission to take this all the way. To find out who else this happened too, among what else is hidden in secret and what lies were told and still untold. The scam, even con that took place within ASA from the 70’s well into the 90s.
It is beyond shocking this non-profit adoption agency was allowed to continue well past into the 90’s from what I am finding. Especially after it was linked to people like my lawyer used in mine, my brother and two other children I grew up with via ASA and yet was still was able to operate having using him and having ties to him without being investigated themselves.
He placed 4 babies to my knowledge and adopted them into families, some across the world without birth parents being told prior. If what happened to my birth mother happened to her and I, I know it’s just the beginning not even touching the surface .
This is not going to be easy, this is not going to be comfortable. This will take time , resilience and patience but 2024 I will be diving deeper into this and will require the help of others willing to exchange stories, experiences and traumas endured by all due to ASA. I have a platform I am able to follow thru with this but will require help and other interested parties with connections as well as my own.
I am looking for adoptees or adopted parents who used ASA especially out of San Antonio, Texas and New York City but not limited too as I know this goes deeper- as well as any adopted parents who used the lawyer in correlation to ASA or other agencies who used:
Stanley B. Michelman out of NYC
When either placing or adopting using ASA and mostly likely even other agencies if he didn’t limit himself to ASA. Prior to his arrest and legal issues he was placing mostly Caucasian babies, then after his arrest and investigation from what I found may of been when he started placing children of “color” of Hispanic descent. As he mentioned to my parents he had a child for them if only they wanted a “Hispanic” child but of course that wasn’t an issue. He placed my brother whose mother was of caucasian decent 2 years prior.
In the 70’s the time of his legal issues he was later found not guilty and supposedly disbarred however, then was able to place children for adoption in 1988-1990 from what I know thus far, regardless of the legal issues he had before and then supposedly after too.
He is dead now and died from a heart attack from what I read but for me this does not matter. Please anyone who may have any information via their own experience with him or ASA please feel free to reach out to me privately for any and all help will help when investigating this further.
All the best.
