At the time the welfare made a house visit my mother was keeping the children and I was out of town. The department told my mother that since I was not at home they would have to take the children with them,and that I could come get them. As I said I went the following day when I got home and was told they had been adopted. I had 3 children Bobby, Michael and Lisa. I have mourned for my children every day since 1968. I don't have money to get an attorney. The State of Tennessee was known for taking poor children and selling them just because the parent's could not and did not know their rights and had no money for a lawyer.Even now they tell me that the records are sealed,they seem to be ignorant to the law concerning the adoption records of Tennessee. I do have right to them now but they keep sending me away. I suppose it is because the adoption was illegal. You bet I would give any thing for my story to aire on television. Thank You I can be contacted by E-Mail carrglen@hotmail.com That is my cousins e-mail,I don't have one.

I was taken from my birth mother and placed in foster care until adoption. My name was Lisa Ann Phillips. I noticed you mentioned Michael and Lisa. Please respond here or email me at tcaword@alltel.net I have been searching for so long. I thought this may be a long shot but I had to try.
Thanks!
