I am looking for a baby girl born in Ft. Worth at Edna Gladney in 1970. Mom was about 17 and Dad was 19.

are you a birth relative, that fits me?????

I am sorry for the delay on this reply. I am having a hard time navigating this site. Please tell me what you know about your birth parents. The baby girl I am looking for was born in late spring, both parents were caucasion, high school sweethearts. Father predominent gene is blonde and blue/green eyes. Could we be a match? HAve you ever contacted Edna Gladney about your birth parents, and if so, when was it?

I have trouble navigating this site as well. I don't know alot but I don't think that we are a match according to the info that I have, the birth father had blue eyes but black hair. He was 19 she was 16. I contacted Edna Gladney but didn't register with them, they just sent me the info they had from a medical stand point. I was born in April. Who are you looking for??

That is too bad, but I am not giving up yet. I am looking for my niece who was put up for adoption by the birth mother. Your birthdate could be close, but I do not know the exact date my niece was born. My brother was the biological father, and he died in 1980. When I contacted Edna Gladney, I was told that the child had looked into her records a couple of years ago, but there had not been any inquiries at the time. The lady I spoke with said that she did not have a contact number for her, so I don't know if that means my niece signed up or what. When you register, what are you suppose to do?

My brother was 19, and I am pretty sure his girlfriend was a senior in high school. That does not mean that she could not have been 16, but my brother had dark blonde hair, almost brown. Did Edna Gladney give you any other information, like what city your biological parents lived, etc?

Well like I said I contacted Edna Gladney sometime back and at that time I wasn't sure if I wanted to contact anyone or not. I believe you have to tell them that you want to register and then they are able if your birth family registers to give them your information. It is a two way thing both people have to like say it is OK and then they will give both parties information.

I have very liitle info at all, but almost none about the birth father. Like he might not have had anything to do with it at all. I have info about maternal grandparents and etc. But only like hair color etc about birth father and nothing at all from the paternal side.

Was your brother in the military???How did he die, if you don't mind me asking?

[claire13]

may I ask, what is your name, (just first name is okay)? I feel kind of wierd replying to just "someone" What part of the country do you live? Have you had a happy life?

Anyway, about my brother. He was 4 years older than me, and I really had only met his girlfriend a couple of times. He wanted to marry her when he found out she was pregnant, but she did not want any thing do with it. He was crushed. He was not in the military, but died in a private plane crash that he was piloting. My mother has told me that she was asked to give pictures of him for the baby's file, and maybe a medical history. I am not sure if that information was passed along. Perhaps your bio father is not my brother, but the only way for us to be sure, would be for you to contact Carol Bollinger at the E. Gladney Center, and see if anyone has made contact about your file. I am in the process of getting my letter to her so that if my niece ever contacts again, she will be able to give it to her. Carol Bollinger told me that the adoptee might not want to continue her search once she finds out her bio father is deceased. I hope that is not the case. Even if we are not a match, I would love to help you search if possible. My best friend is an Edna Gladney baby, and has also adopted 2 boys from there.

regards, Jenna

Hi my name is Robin. It is nice to talk to you Jenna. In my records it states that the birth father was in the military at the time. I have had a wonderful life!! I was an only child and loved, adored and spoiled totally rotten by my parents. I have never really seriously looked for my birth parents, I have always truely respected them for putting me into the home I had. I have looked a little off and on, but I am well I guess a little afriad of what I might find if I looked. I wish that I could find out the medical info alot. Things like breast cancer and stuff scare me not knowing my history. I wish I could find them and just observe for a while before contacting them. Does that sound mean, I don't intend to be. My daddy died 2 years ago and that has kinda sparked a new interest in making contact??? We were pretty close to a match anyway huh!!!! I think it is neat that your neice and myself were probably side by side at some point..........silly huh? I live in Arkansas. What about you?
