I'm looking for more information on my birth mother in particular. I was adopted through Catholic Charities through the Archdioses of Dubuque, Iowa.

Gender--Female
Born--October 13, 1976
Born at--University Hospitals in Iowa City
Mother's Name at Birth--Jane Marie Steines
Mother's birth year--1958

Any information that can be added to this would be wonderful. Thank you.

My mom gave up her only daughter for adoption through Catholic Charities in Newark, NJ in 1948. All I know about her is that she was born in a hospital in Hoboken, NJ and adopted through Catholic Charities in Newark. My mom always wanted to find her, but was unaware how to go about doing so. She passed away six years ago never finding her. My two brothers and I would love to find her, especially since we never had a sister and also to welcome her into the family. My mother left some sentimental remembrances which we would like to pass on to her. I don't know if she ever tried to contact my mom because all records are sealed and we couldn't get any info from the people at the Catholic Charities a few years ago. My mother's maiden name was Marion Albretson and lived on Boylan Street in Newark, NJ when she gave birth. I don't know any other info which might have been on the birth certificate. I don't think the father was named, and I don't know his name either. My mother's age at the time of birth was 20, and it's possible she named the baby Mary Ann. But this is uncertain. Any info that I could obtain would be greatly appreciated. If anyone reads this and knows of her, please contact me.
Thank you,
Bill McVicar
