Also, I believe I have found the adoptee I am looking for. I have 12 names and one of them IS him. But, I'm a little nervous to start calling around looking for him. I was wondering if anyone could tell me... are there any reasons an adoptee would not want to get to know their biological family? I've searched the internet high and low and he has not been looking any time in the recent past. He also has not left any messages in his Edna Gladney file. Should I call and try to find him or should I leave him alone?

Thank you for all of your help. Please e-mail me (if that is okay) any advice or info. you might have regarding my questions.

Best of luck to all of you!

Sincerely,
Monica

A mother and father might take it as an insult that their adopted child is searching for their biological family. I am adopted an do fear that. I hope to find my biological family some day but am not sure what kind of relationship I will want.
Good luck. I wish you the best. If you would like to ask me anything further you may contact me at staceyguerin@hotmail.com

I can't begin to express the joy that we both have, and the relationships that we are rapidly building. My adoptive parents (Mom & Dad) are okay with everything and are waiting for the opportunity to meet her as well. I think for adoptive parents to be supportive, they must be secure in themselves. If they don't FEEL that you love them and that nothing will change, there really isn't anything you can SAY that will change that. I wish only the best for all those searching, and if I can be of any help to you guys please let me know!

In the 1970's and 80's and 90's the name was the Duncan Memorial Hospital. Probably even later than that. I was born 8/27/78 at that hospital. My name is Erin Bailey and I have been searching for about 3 years. I have registered with the Edna Gladney Home, which now has a registry. Go ahead and register there so that when your child comes looking for you, they will find you there waiting. It is a mutual consent registry. You can exchange letters when a match is made, and still back out if it is not right for both of you. Good luck, and register there.

Monica,

I am a birth mother and have had the same ? you have. I am just beginning to search for my daughter, but I have prayed so often about this same situation. Your decision has to be God's time. If you are still unsure, take time to pray and be still, this way Jesus has a chance to speak to you. God's time, not ours.

I fear to disrupt her life and I think she has the same fear. But, I just want to tell her that I am there and if she chooses to have me a part of her life i am willing, but if she chooses not to, that is also fine with me. I just want her to know I am there and the door is open for her.

My advice is PRAY PRAY PRAY
God Bless You
and trust in the God of your understanding.

Did you ever find out what the birth certificate would say if you were born at Gladney?

does it say Duncan Memorial.

[emilys_mommie]

My husband is searching for his b-mom. He was born 5-28-79 at Gladney. Hospital was Duncan Memorial.

[court24]

I was born 5/26/79 and my b-certificate does say duncan memorial hospital. Has anyone had any luck with finding someone with gladney. What happens if your b-mom isn't registered? Will they give you a name or something so that you can find out for yourself or are you just SOL??

Later,
Courtney

If 8/27/78 is the birthdate your baby was born, then it might be me. I am a girl born at 11:15 a.m. at the Duncan Memorial Hospital. It was finalized I believe March 8, 1979 in Tarrant County District 231
