I was born on Oct.9, 1971 in Massillion Ohio. At Doctors Hospital.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Michelle

Isn't Ohio the state that will release the birthmom's name if you ask for it. I think I read that somewhere. If you ask for the birthname you will get it but they won't tell you unless you ask.

Good luck
Joan

I just wondered if you have any other information... like siblings perhaps? I was born in 1980 and adopted at age 5. I know I have two brothers that were born in 1976 and a sister who was born in 1971.

winter girl 23,
I have no idea about any possible siblings. Do you know about when your sister was born?
