My mother had a stillborn and had gone to the doctor for her check up and he told her he had a girl patient that was pregant and wanted to put the child up for adoption. My parents had never thought of adoption, but quickly decided this was something they wanted to do. The doctor even went as far as to tell them the attorney to use and went on the be my mother's doctor until he retired and my doctor until I started having children. At that time he was no longer delivering babies. When I really began searching about 12 years ago, we wanted him to sign an affadavit stated I needed a medical history. He said he didn't have one and had no memory of the adoption. I don't believe that for a minute. You don't put the whole thing together and see these people 1 or 2 times a year and not remember the adoption you orchestrated. Anyway, I did need a medical history my daughter was born 8 weeks early and I had just miscarried. He was adamant he would never sign an affadavait. Little things like these are suspicious, but I can see where things were so hush hush in the 60's. You would think that through the years they would see the need for medical history and other stuff. At first all I wanted was a medical history, now however I do want a little more. Enough rambling for now, thanks to everyone posting. It sure helps to know I am not alone.
