Hi there,
I was wondering if you might be able to help us. I am not sure how
long you've
been in Nevada, or even if would be willing to help. I know this is a very
touchy
subject, and I just hope that you can help. Or perhaps you could circulate
this letter to
your staff at work and see if any of it sounds familiar, or if anyone would
be willing to
help us with some research. You never know, maybe one of them might be
interested
in helping us. We are always keeping our fingers crossed. :) If you don't
think you
would be able to help us right now, perhaps you could forward it to anyone's
email you
have in Fallon, or copy this and pass it along to just one person, Or maybe..just
maybe
you would copy it and pass it along to a few people, and then they could
give it to a
few people, and then we would really have a network of angels on our side
helping
out!!
A young couple from Fallon had a beautiful 8# 11oz baby boy on April 13,
1972. A
few days later, she
placed him for adoption. Our uncle told us that his parents could possibly
be from Elko. 28 years later, that
baby, Michael, and I have begun to search for her, or anyone that might
know any information about his birthfamily. Recently, we've discovered
that Michael has an older half brother on his mother's side.
Considering that Michael was born when she was 17, his brother can't be
much older than he is. It's possible that she kept her first son, and
gave Michael up for adoption. Therefore, it's very possible that you may
be able to
help us find some information about his brother, his mother, or anyone
else in his
family. Of course, it's also possible that both
children were placed for adoption as well.
But please, just take a moment to check it out!! You might have the
missing link we've been looking for!
Michael was born at Churchill Public Hospital, in Fallon, Nevada.
His delivering doctor was GW Boom. We
have very little information right now, and we are desperately trying to
put the pieces of this puzzle together.
It would really mean so much to us (even though you are a stranger),
if you could add one more piece for us.
Please know, that the last thing we would ever want to do would be to
interrup someone's life. However, Michael
and I have so many questions about his side of the family, and we are
going to be starting our own family soon, so it
has become more important than ever to find out any information that we
can.
Any information that you might be able to share would be kept
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL!! So here's
everything we've got, and maybe, just maybe...some of it might sound
familiar to you.:
Birthfather Information:
Age 22
6'
160#
blonde hair
green eyes
fair complexion
12th grade completed
mechanic
irish-german
good health history
no religious preference
no medial information
Birthmother Information
age 17, single
5'8"
131#
light brown hair
green eyes
fair to ruddy complexion
10th grade (so we're not sure if she ever completed high school, or
if she dropped out)
interested in drafting
scotch, welsh, irish
sister has diabetes
she's usually anemic
no religious preference
I know that this may seem an odd request from a perfect stranger, but
when you know nothing about your history,
you really have nothing to lose! We've been searching for over a year
now, and come up with nothing. Every new
opportunity I get to reach out to someone that might've known her, I am
compulsed to take. I hope you understand.
Like I said before, we are just curious. There are many things you
wonder about when you are adopted. For
instance, Michael is an extremely talented artist, musician, and
athlete. He is 6'7", light brown hair, and green eyes.
Wouldn't you be curious too if you didn't know why you looked the way
you do, or where your talents come from?
Hopefully for you and I, those questions can be answered simply by our
parents. For Michael, it's just not as easy. All we are asking for is
a shot in the
dark...maybe someone, somewhere
knows something that will help us to find
the answers to all of these unanswered questions. Maybe you could be
our someone. Thank you for reading this,
and I hope to hear from you soon. Please write back to EBACHEN(a)aol.com
:) Have a great day!!!
