Birth mom
Greetings! I have registered with this site but was drwan to respond. I had "help" from Cath Charities (oswego County, Oswego, NY in relinquishing (at birth) my birth daughter. She was born June of 1980, and there is scanty and INCORRECT or "untraceable " info still on file with Cath Charities( now all counties are housed in Onondaga Co). The gentleman I contacted there did confirm some info, but said the way the info was kept was strange and he could not trace any further. My case helper was a Cynthia Lorch-Miller. The case was opened 4/4/80 and "closed" 8-8-80. I have a reference to a court proceeding the following April (1980) thast took place in Oswego Courts which I'm told appears to be an adoption matter, yet I was told upon relinquishment that the child would NOT be p[laced in Oswego Co, but rather Onondaga. I've hesitated to register with the state as I do not have the exact day of birth. Can I find out if indeed the child wasn't officially adopted til 10 months after birth, if by chance the foster care interim would have kept her name given at birth? Do most parents then change a name if the child has been called Carolyn for 10 mo.? Any reply would be greatly appreciated. I've done as much detective work as I could manage in the past two months, but seem to have hit a wall. Thanks for your time! Michelle McCann Fulton, NY
