Suggestions for help
Kim, I was also born in Charleston in July of 1964 and recently was able to find my birth mother. I was adopted through the childrens home in Charleston and contacted them to obtain non-identifying information. Through the information obtained I was able to get my birthmothers first name, birthdate and where she was from. I then went to the county courthouse and reviewed the birth records to find her last name and the name of her siblings. After getting the names of the siblings, I checked the national obituary to see if any of them had died. One brother did and I was able to read his obituary to get my birthmothers married name and location.
I have since talked with her several times and have found out that I have 3 siblings. We plan on meeting soon.
Good luck
