We got information that the birth father's initials are L and D. Also, managed to get someone at the Birth Records office to verify that Stahl is the birth father's name and King is the husband's name.

Our search revealed that there was only ONE "L D STAHL" born in Texas that fit with the birth father information we have, Lawrence Dale Stahl. We called him but he refused to talk to us. So about two months later, a search angel offered to call him for us (this was on June 30th this year), and she was told by his wife that he died three days prior. She said she knows nothing about his life before they married in 1985 because he refused to discuss it with her. We have checked for obituaries and the social security death index but there is no proof that he actually died. We do know he had a first wife that he married in December 1964 in Carson City, NV, but we can't find any information on her. Her name was Barbara J Taylor. We believe they divorced prior to 1985, since there is no record of her in any death records that we have searched. He married both wives in Carson City, NV but there is no divorce record there and we can't find anything in California so far.

We know that Lawrence's most recent address is in Tustin, CA. And during an address search, we found information that a "Dale Stahl", age 31 lived at that same address, but we can't find any other information on him. Lawrence must have lived at the same address for quite some time because there is no other address listed for him on any background searches we have done either.

If anyone has access to divorce records in either Los Angeles County or Orange County, CA, we would appreciate your help in our search. We would like to try to contact his first wife, since he married her soon after his son was placed for adoption, she may know something.
