[FONT=Arial]My name is Christina Almonte and Im writing on behalf of my mother.[/FONT][FONT=Arial]Her name is Joann. [/FONT][FONT=Arial]My mother was with Catholic Charities and then it was believed she was[/FONT][FONT=Arial]At the Angel Guardian Home in Brooklyn, NY (run by Catholic Charities we believe). [/FONT][FONT=Arial]She was adopted by an Italian Couple from Valley Stream, NY. There last name [/FONT][FONT=Arial]was Garaventa.[/FONT][FONT=Arial]In 1992 she wrote to the Angel Guardian Home trying to find information[/FONT][FONT=Arial]On her birth mother. The Angel Guardian Home sent her a letter with[/FONT][FONT=Arial]what is called ґnon-identifying information on it. [/FONT][FONT=Arial]It said her birth date was 9/29/1951 but, that she was placed at Angel Guardian[/FONT][FONT=Arial]Home on 11/29/ 1951. She has wondered why there was a 2 month gap there.[/FONT][FONT=Arial]They also provided her with the name Sicilia. They could not tell her who assigned this name or [/FONT][FONT=Arial]if this name belonged to her birth mother. Or if this was the correct spelling. They said she was [/FONT][FONT=Arial]called Joann Sicilia at the home. When you mentioned the name Cecelia (Spelled differently),[/FONT][FONT=Arial]I got the chills, as maybe the Home took her name and turned it into a last name. I could be [/FONT][FONT=Arial]completely wrong, but, we have forever wondered about that name. Her adoptive parents later dropped the name Sicilia and called her just Joann.[/FONT][FONT=Arial]The letter said that my mother weighed 5 lbs 1oz at birth. Again, we are not sure if[/FONT][FONT=Arial]Any of the info they provided is accurate or to be true.[/FONT][FONT=Arial]The other information provided to my mother by the Angel Guardian home described her birth mother[/FONT][FONT=Arial]as being of Italian decent, 5Ғ 3, 150 lbs(at time of birth) , dark brown hair, dark brown eyes and [/FONT][FONT=Arial]Light olive complexion. I should tell you also that this is exactly what my mother looks like as well.[/FONT][FONT=Arial]My mother has always had a beautiful olive complexion and looks much younger than her age.[/FONT][FONT=Arial]She looks very European and always is asked if she is Italian or Spanish. She is about 5 1 in height.[/FONT][FONT=Arial]It also mentioned that her birth mother was Catholic, and worked as a factory worker.[/FONT][FONT=Arial]They said that the birth mother did not list the birth fathers last name. But, that the father was[/FONT][FONT=Arial]Believed to be 6 ёtall, husky, black hair, brown eyes, olive complexion.[/FONT][FONT=Arial]They also provided a little more information that I could provide. [/FONT][FONT=Arial]Now, I must say that we are unsure if any of this information is completely true or had been[/FONT][FONT=Arial]Changed, altered, etc , we were just excited that The Angel Guardian Home actually sent [/FONT][FONT=Arial]her this. It has always been something for my mother to hold on to.[/FONT][FONT=Arial]Does any of the information I have provided sound familiar. If so, please contact me [/FONT][FONT=Arial]at luca@thetravelzone.com or you may call me at 954-709-7151.[/FONT]

hello, just going through posts and saw yours and kind of sounds familiar. i have been searching for many years and no dates or names come up with the date i have, so i decided to go back a few years and saw your post. would you care to share your info. with me about the names and dates you have and the fathers name ? maybe we might just have a match. never know. i would love to know that i may have more family out there since i have none left. thank- you. mara
