Any females born March 15 1985.. Or close..?

And adopted?

I know this is a long shot but I thought I might as well try.

I have a half sister I have never met and her birthday is March 15th or within a day, 1985.. Possibly within a year each way. But pretty sure 3/15/85 is the correct birthdate though.

My dad had a girlfriend back in the day when he was in HS that moved to .. Texas I believe to attend college. (we are from the midwest) One day over the phone she admitted to him that he had gotten her pregnant 3 years prior when they were in HS and she hid it from everyone until it came time to have the baby... Which she then lied to a judge telling them that the father was unknown and gave the little girl up for adoption.

My dad couldn't believe it. Was unsure if he should believe it. She told him she would a send a photo, which she did.

2 weeks after she told him, she died out of nowhere, sick in her bed one night of phnemonia. At her daughters funeral, the mother confirmed that there indeed had been a baby.

My dad said he has thought about her and whether he should try and find her throughout the years because when she decided, if she decided to locate her bio parents.. The birth cert would say mother diseased, and father unknown. Which is very sad I would think :/

Anyhow... Ha.. Anyone out there my missing half sister?

Sorry, I don't know anyone born on or near that date, adopted or not.

However.. yes, the birth certificate would likely say Father Unknown, but it would NOT say the mother is deceased. The mother was ALIVE when the child was born, and alive several years later. They don't go BACK and change birth certs when a parent dies.

Now, depending on the type of adoption done (open, closed, somewhere in between) and the AGENCY policies.. the original birth records could be sealed. For example.. if the agency was church-based (esp Catholic) those original birth records are sealed so tight, even an Act of Congress or the demand of the President probably couldn't open them (separation of Church and State affords them this secrecy.)

Truth is, finding her is a very, very long shot. In the dark. But perhaps a Forum or Message Board dedicated to finding birth parents or finding the adopted child would work. There are several out there, just Google it and go from there. Nothing to lose, right?

Me neither .. the closest woman I know was born March 17,1986 ... however, not adopted. She's the spitting image of her mother.

I think it's great that you are looking for her. Keep trying. A friend of mine who was adopted in the 1950's looked for her parents, and finally found her father several years ago.


Don't give up.

Have you considered any private investigators? I live here in Texas and would be happy to recommend a few! Two of my girlfriends work in the legal industry so they deal with some of these guys on a daily basis..... picking one blind can be scary!

Thank you ladies for your reply. I don't have the moolah to really look into it much in terms of a professional at the moment, and i have posted on a few sites but I will look more into that...

I may be able to look up the bio mothers parents and see if they can help me... Sounds like such an awkward phone call though :/

I'm hoping the universe just... Pushes us together somehow.... :p

i hope so too. good luck lou!

i love this statement of yours Loulore - hi five !

cos it so applies to a friends situation and i am laughing over it. he fell hard for a mad cow who is half pregnant and din tell - so responsible huh so the ending is such "The birth cert would say mother diseased, and father unknown"

I'm confused
