Family Forum / Parenting / Adoption / October 2007I have an older sister!
I just received some non-identifying info from NY about my birth parents. My mother was 22 when she gave birth and I was delivered at 40 weeks. She was an office worker, unmarried, and gave birth to a daughter 2 years before I was born. She was also Catholic. My father was a 26 yo US army soldier, married, also Catholic. I wonder if the newspaper archives would list the name of my mother? I know I was born on May 9, 1959 at Our Lady of Victory in Lackawanna. >I just received some non-identifying info from NY about my birth parents. >My mother was 22 when she gave birth and I was delivered at 40 weeks.

I doubt if the newspapers would list the birth. Births to unmarried women were not published back then, but it wouldn't hurt to look just in case something snuck through. NY birth records for all births are tight as can be. Onr thing you might want to check is baptismal records in the local diocese since Catholic babies were usually baptized pretty quickly, even if they were being put up for adoption. I'm not sure if the church archvist can track by DOB or not. I suppose you'd need a nama, but again, it never hurts to try . Good luck!

Now I just need to get back there to check. >>I just received some non-identifying info from NY about my birth parents. >>My mother was 22 when she gave birth and I was delivered at 40 weeks.

My records were never sealed and I had my obc but I wanted to know other stuff and it took several years for the agency to even have the decency to reply. I finally sent a request and cc'd the probate court and I got an immediate reply I got the old song and dance about the records were destroyed. Well, in this case it was true. I was directed to file with the probate court, which had actually investigated the destruction of thousands of records. I ended up with a set of court records for $6.00. Were you adopted through Catholic Charities? Marley >>>>I just received some non-identifying info from NY about my birth >>>>parents.

The attorney became a circuit court judge and has now passed away. His partner has not replied to any requests. I have a letter from him to my parents and it is full of errors;i.e., incorrect town and date of birth. > >>>>I just received some non-identifying info from NY about my birth > >>>>parents.
