Did he run off and join the service leaving you behind? Was I adopted by my paternal grandparents?
I lived in Rahway, New Jersey until I was six months old. Then, my adopted parents moved me to Milltown, New Jersey where I lived until I was sixteen. Then, my AMom moved me to Florida.
I suspect you and my oldest "brother" were in love and you got pregnant and he ditched you. My "mother" always wanted a girl and when I was born you gave me to her to raise. I suspect she faked being pregnant with me and so everyone thought she actually had given birth to me which is why they were listed on my birth certificate as my "parents."
Did you have an affair with Teddy aka Sonny in 1955? I always thought he was my oldest "brother" until I found out my blood type didn't match my "parents" when I found my "mothers" blood donor card after she died. My doctor told me it was impossible that together they were my biological parents. Teddy aka Sonny was twenty years OLDER then me, which is why I suspect he got a girl pregnant and then took off for the service. But I think maybe my paternal grandparents may have offered to raise me for you and there was a private adoption. I just don't know - this is all speculation, mingled with rumor and stuff I only half remember over- hearing when I was very young.
I am not angry at you. I just want to know who my mother is.
And maybe this isn't it at all. Maybe my adoptive parents got me from somewhere else. Perhaps one of my older female "cousins" had me out of wedlock? Or, it is even possible that my "mother" may have had an affair and if this is the case - are you my Father? Did you have a daughter born in January 1956 to a married woman with four sons at the time?
If any of this sounds remotely familiar please respond.
Pertinant cities at the time would be: Carteret, New Jersey, Rahway, New Jersey, I was told I was born in Perth Amboy General Hospital, Perth Amboy, New Jersey.
Thank you for any information. Not knowing is maddening. If I were to only know the truth, I wouldn't bug you if you didn't want to have a relationship. I just want to know the truth of the mystery of me.
