Hi: I know you must be very busy and it is extremely kind of you to take your time to help others in this way. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.

I have a strange request with very little information. I am searching for a daughter my step mother was forced to give up for adoption. She was very young and sent from N.J. to a home for unwed mothers in Texas. (I think it was Catholic Charities). The experience was quite traumatizing to her and she has "blocked" most of the details. Even though she is close to 70 years old now, her family still refuses to provide any information to her.

This is what info I have: Birthmother's name was Grace Lambert. The last name of the father was Mollahan or Monahan. She was underage at the time of pregnancy. She believes she had the baby in April in the mid 1950's. She knows she gave the baby her name of Grace. She was taken by family members to a Catholic home for unwed mothers in Texas. She was forced to sign the baby over for adoption. She returned to N.J. following the baby's birth.

I know this is not very much to go on, but I would greatly appreciate any help you might have to offer. Thanks for your time, Kay
