This is what I was told according to by adoptive parents(Inman): Born in Wayne County, MI 3/30/40, I could have been six weeks old at the time of adoption. All I am looking for is medical history. I have ten children and 28 grandchildren please help me help them.

I hope that your relationship with Durelle is working out okay...must be a hard road to go down.I come from a very large blended family, so I can only imagine what it's like not to really know where you come from and why you are as you are. Self reliance s the thing eh? GOod luck to you.

I married his bfather in 77 and had a daughter his sister,so he found his whole family all at once. I hope your reunion can turn out as happy as mine has in the end.

Hi, Dave. I was delighted to find your great page and have bookmarked it for the many times I'll want to read it. When I was in high school I did some searching, but mine was a private adoption so I've no agency to question. Plus my M.S. became triublesome by the time I was 19, so I've no energy to spend on active searches. But vI digress; you have built your own family, something I'd hoped to do also. That's one way to see what genes you've inherited! I wish you the best of luck in finding what you want. Also please contact me if you're interested in eschanging votes. Keep up the good work!
