Hello,

I wanted to see if you could possibly help my husband. Here is his story...

His parents were not married to eachother, but his mother was married to another man at the time, so she has/had his last name, and so did my husband (on his birth certificate and adoption order). We do have the names of both his parents as the paperwork from the adoption agency was not properly "whited out". Instead they took a blue ballpoint pen and crossed out the names which were typed in black ink. Anyway, we know their names.

Both of his birthparents listed themselves as Metis, which I've come to find out could mean anything. I have a feeling that they were very embarassed about the situation, and therefore didn't give any real identifying information about themselves, tribe or band.

Do you think you may be able to help us?

Sincerely, Christy

HI,

I am wondering if you may be able to help me, I am coming to an dead end.
I wa s given up for adoption and my a-parents were told that my mother was metis,and she was from the Cree, in alberta,barrhead area....we think she lived in a reserve nearby, but because I live in the netherlands it's very hard to get information...

Could you maybe help? I would be very thankfull,even only if you'd have tips to get my search started up again.
Oh before I forget my b-mom had known my b-dad for 2 months and all I know is that he was irish and from ontario.

I am seeking to find my birthfamily. I am an alaskan indian and half black. I was adopted in Denver, Co under the name COURTNEY ANN JONES. My new name is REVELLA LEIFERT.

I was brought up by a white family. It was until I turned 19 or so that the issue of finding my parents...or rather questions like,

What was my father/mom like,
What features did I gain from them
What talents could I have gained from them

to have an identity. My family has failed to be of any help and are rather dysfunctional themselves. I have asked questions but have only gotten little peices but it just doesnt make sense for them to know NOTHING, to have some documentations or something! And then when i least expect it my mom comes out and says stuff like, "You has an aunt looking for you", BUT she only knows little peices like you were adopted through the state, and HOW would she know that? Ironically, my dad has a good friend in Alaska who he visits every few years, but I have no idea
who this guy is.

It doesnt seem fair, i deserve and IDENTITY
