I was born at Bess Kaiser hosp. on 4-11-60. The Dr.s name was Cohen, and the adoption was handled by the Permanente Clinic. It is interesting to note that the only records I have are 2 receipts for fees, but that on the reverse of one is an itemized list including "divorce" payment indication. hmm. So perhaps Penny Jane isn't "Caven" anymore. She was orriginally from Pennsylvania, it says. I'd really appreciate any help you can offer-I just got this info and it has totally floored me! I have been wondering who I look like, if I have any siblings, if I'm going to drop dead of a heart attack when I'm 41..! The usual! Also I have 2 boys, and they are the only people I know who look like me. I have no animosity towards Penny, and want her to know my adoptive parents were very kind to me and I turned out ok! I thank you for your taking the time to read this and hope you can help me in my search...it is such uncharted territory...you can reach me at 206-242-7119 anytime day or night-or e-mail me at lennonfan_1@hotmail.com. thank you from the bottom of my hopeful heart! Glenna Foreman, adopted name Glenna Marlene Lawrence.

Recently I received my birth certificate and I do have my mother's name, age at the time of delivery, and her birth state. I'm in California now, so do you have any suggestions on what I can do from here? Thank you.

Try calling Oregon volunteer adoption registry
They can send you forms to fill out and it may help you with your search.

Hi! I don't know if you can help or not, but i am and have been looking for my niece for years. She was given up for adoption without my father even knowing about her. He is getting older and we would really like to know who she is.
The problem is that my brother was named as the father but his name was not put on the birth certificate. So therefore we have no way of getting any info other than what we have now. Is there anyway you can help? She was born in Oregon on 6/30/67 but we have been told that her b/d could have been changed. The adoption was finallized in January of 1968. If you can help at all it would be appreciated.

Please help in locating son I gave up for adoption. He was born in Portland, OR on 6-14-61 and the adoption was handled thru the Boys & Girls Aid Society. So far no response from registering with them.
