Hi,

I saw your post and thought maybe you could help me.
I am out of ideas. I have spent the last 6 1/2 years looking for my birthmother. I was taken from her when I was 15 months old, and then adopted when I was 6. That day in court was the last time I ever saw my mother. And I don't want that fuzzy memory of her to be all I have. I also now have two children of my own who deserve to know their grandmother and any other family members we may have. I want to know who I look like. I would like her to be a part of our family. If you can help me in any way, please email me at HappyTaps2@juno.com
Thank you and God Bless,
Tonya

Hello,
My son, Ryan, is 25 yrs. old now, w/ his own family. His father had told me years ago, that he and his ex had adopted out a daughter, because they were both going to jail. Recently, my son has been in touch w/ his Dad. Ryan wants to ask his Dad if he knows anything, but, doesn't feel comfortable doing so. He feels he would be prying. But, he did agree for me to do some searching for him.
A search of the California birth records....we discover, Ryan has 2 sisters! DOB for the baby girl I was told was possibly named Roxanne, turned out to be:
Cassandra N. (********) Lofton/ Cassandra N. (********) Johnson
01/17/1973 Ventura, Ventura County, California. (Father's surname and her mother's married name.)
The second daughter I found was facilitated by the fact that both her mother's maiden name was used, and the father's distinctive surname.
Tammy L. (*******)/ Tammy L. (*******) ********
04/16/1969 Ventura, Ventura County, California. (Father's surname and mother's maiden name.
It seems info. was provided on the birth records so the girls would have something to search on. If and when they chose to do so.
We are familiar with adoption as I have one younger, half-sister who was adopted. We found and have known her for a few years, now.
My late husband had 2 daughters living in Colorado when he passed in 1983. Amazingly, we were able to connect through the internet beginning in 2001. Sadly, the girls only living blood aunt, passed in Ventura, California before we could locate her. This aunt had 3 sons and we are still trying to locate them.
I have met one of my step-daughters, Chellene, who had the un-answered question of who her Dad was. She visited Ventura and found the obituary for the man her mother said was her father. She discovered that he died earlier than told by mom. When I came into the picture, I confirmed to her that her real bio-father was indeed, the same as her sister's. Not the same as her older brother, who is the girls cousin, also. The 2 father's were brothers. The mother doesn't know how to tell the truth. So, I have been their only link with their deceased father.
We are trying to make arrangements now, for both of the girls to visit me where their Dad died, here in Joshua Tree, California in mid- November. They want to see all the area where their Dad grew-up and they were born. I'm also, planning on showing them the peach farm of their great-great grandfather, who was instrumental in starting the farming of lima beans in the Ventura area. (Genealogy is my hobby, so that has helped us search.)
We'd like to find any of the people who knew their Dad at Ventura High School, around 1960.

Thank you for listening. I hope that this isn't too confusing for you. Believe it or not, my son's father discovered he was adopted by his step-father. His mom was married, had an affair (with a musician from Ventura, still living, have name). She went to Missouri to have the baby. She then, reunited with her husband and he adopted the baby boy. This sounds like an adoption ad or something!! LoL!!! Thank you again, for your time.
Always, ReBecca

hi, my mom and I have been looking for my sister, Rebecca, for quite some time now. Of course, we've had no luck.
She was born in Panama City, Florida at Gulf Coast Hospital. Her adopted moms name is Marilyn and her adopted daddys name is John. John has already passed away. Her last name would be Johnson unless she is married now. She was born on February 15, 1981.
Please feel free to email me at Richsgirl20@yahoo.com. OR My moms email is tweetygirl5389@yahoo.com.
Thank you so much-Becky

Hello Sarah,

I saw your post on the adoption forums. I am a brand new member and I am not truly adopted. I stumbled across the site while searching for my birthmother. When I was 13 or so, I found out that the woman I had called Mom my whole life was in fact, my step mother. The sibling I had always called baby brother was also my step brother. My father had been married twice before it seemed.

So, when I was busy telling my little brother that the reason we looked so different was because he was adopted. (Busy being the cruel older sister I suppose) they asked me to come into their room. They decided it was time, I guess. Now, I didn't search for my birth mother right away. My head was subsequently filled with stories about how she wasn't able or ready for me and had been very irresponsible. My father (I didn't recognize the emotion at the time) was and still remains very bitter about my birth mother. But the main reason I didn't try to find her right away was how much the telling of the story hurt the woman I know as Mom. My now "stepmom". She was distraught and terrified that I wouldn't love her anymore. I just loved her more for caring so much. So, out of respect to her, I waited until I was an adult to begin my search.

Because of irrelevant reasons, I moved out of my house when I was almost 17 years old. I have been supporting myself alone ever since. I am now 21 and working full time. Because of financial reasons, I was not able to continue college, but it still remains my goal to receive my PhD one day in Psychology. I do not have the funds at this time to hire a service in search of my birth mother. I have been using every resource on the internet I could find. I recently found out that the information I was given by my father could very well have been tainted by his memory and anger. While I still love my parents very much, we do not have a close or trusting relationship any longer. All the concrete information I have is this:

1) Her maiden name is Teresa Renee Mowell
2) She should be about 42+
3) I was born in California
4) She was in the Air Force
5) She lived in Hawaii
6) Her parents (my birth grandparents) name are Gene (jean) and Dolores. They have divorced.
7) She has remarried.

That is all I know. I have found many records of her up until her name change, and then I am at a loss. I want to find her for many reasons. One, I wish to see the woman who gave me my brown eyes, chubby cheeks, and dreamy stare. Two, medically it would be beneficial. Three, finding her would fill a lot of holes in my personal history.

If you can not help me or have already helped as many as you can, I will completely understand. This is a wonderful thing to do and no matter what, I would love to hear from you and the stories of those you have helped. Thanks for listening and I hope to hear from you soon!

Sincerely, Jennifer Karen Lynn Buchan
