Betty Evelyn Laughton

1927

I'm looking for the daughter of my great aunt Evelyn Laughton's daughter. My late grandmother would only say that her younger sister died and it was very sad. Evelyn gave birth to her daughter on 7/2/1927 and then died on 7/10/1927. I just wanted to know what happened to her daughter.

Sister

1959 or 1960

My mothers name was Wynonia Underwood. Her father and aunt sent her to the Florence Crittenton Home for Unwed mothers between the years of 1959-1960. She had a daughter she named Jackie. I would like to find her.

Birth Parents

1955

I was born December 2, 1955 to a 40 year old widow who had one daughter at the time. The birth father was never notified of the pregnancy as he was married with numerous children and owned a trucking/wrecking service somewhere in Kansas. I was adopted by Georgia and Merrill Dodge from Kansas City, MO. Anyone with knowledge of any of this family would be welcomed news. Thank you all in advance.

my sister

1949

I was recently told that my mother was sent to the Florence Crittenton Home because she became pregnant out of wedlock. I was told she had a baby girl in 1949 and we believe it was in Silver Spring, MD. She named the girl Tiffany. My mothers name at the time was Ruby Moser and she lived in Middletown, MD. Would love to find my sister so any information would be appreciated.

Brother

1962

I am looking for my half brother. He was born in 1962 to a 'Midge' (that is what my Dad remembered) and Gabriel Oates Ireton. Our father has passed away, but about 9 months before he died he told me about him. He said all he could remember was that his father's people in Washington DC handled the adoption as he was active in the Navy in the Panama, and 'Midge' and he met in Panama. Her father he believed was a civilian contractor. Midge's family sent her back to the states. My father says that he remembers being notified of his son's birth at about the same time that he announced on air that Marilyn Monroe had died.

Brother

1961

My mother gave birth to a son on July or June 7th 1961 at the Crittenden home for unwed mothers in Washington DC. She and I want to find him. The name she gave him was William michael Smith.

Birth Mother

December 7, 1965-January 12, 1966

I have non identifying information from my adoption file. I was told my birth Mother named me Hope. She was 18 and unmarried. She was born in 1947.

Half older brother

November 1954

I’m looking for my brother born Gregory Allen Burton in November of 1954 to a Wonda Burton from Quincy Illinois. She traveled to Peoria to give birth and then she took the boy back to Quincy. Shortly after is when Theda Jansen(juvenile officer in Quincy at the time) came and took custody of him. Nothing was heard of him after that....I was born 5 years later.

birth family

April 16, 1924

I am trying to locate any birth family for my mother. My mother was born April 24, 1924 and given up for adoption through the Florence Crittenton Home in Helena, Montana. My mother's baptismal records from the Cathedral of St. Helena show her birth name as Elizabeth Mae Collins; her birth mother's name as Jane Collins. The birth certificate issued prior to the adoption shows the birth mother as Jane Katherine Collins (age 17) of Belt, Montana and the birth father as William Murphy (age 23) (residence unknown), occupation farmer. Jane Katherine Collins place of birth listed on the birth certificate is Bisbee, North Dakota. We have no other records regarding my mother's birth parents. My mother was adopted by Arthur and Frances Opp of Helena, Montana.

My mother has passed away and we are trying to locate any family.

Half Sister

1974

I am the daughter of a mother who gave birth to a Crittenton baby on 08-03-1974 in Youngstown, Oh at St Elizabeth. Our mom was only 13 when my sister was born. She got impregnanted at 12. I found out about my sister when I was 13. When I was old enough I started searching. I am now 42 and I have been searching for her for over 20 years. She is my older sister. My mom named her Tamika Marie and to the best of our knowledge she was adopted by a black family in Andover whose father was a Dr. We believe her name on her birth certificate is Tamika Marie Crittenton. I have done ancestry DNA in the hopes of finding her and have called Crittenton, different homes, etc. looking for her records and was told that the home burned down and the place where the records were stored had a flood and all the documents were ruined. So I have turned to various other methods to find her. Her adoption was not necessarily by choice. I mean 13 year olds who are shipped away from home at 12 and give birth at 13 can often be bullied into making decisions by parents and authorities to doing things they don't want to do. So I will continue my search but if anyone, anywhere knows anything about my sister please reach out! Thank you in advance!

Brother

1962

My mother delivered a son on March 17, 1962( could be 1963 too). My mother has had many medical issues. She wants to know the child is ok. Sadly the circumstances of the pregnancy was a rape at the age of 12. We have no negative feelings about the child.

Son

1972

I delivered a baby boy on 12-16-72 and felt my only alternative was to relinquish. This did not happen until sometime in January of 1972 because when I was taken to court I could not follow through with it. I was given 3 weeks to decide while my son remained in foster care. After trying to figure out how I could do this, I finally agreed to go back to court and relinquish. I gave birth on site at Florence Crittenton in Denver.

Biological Parents

1959

I was born in March 1959. I know that the birth mother was unwed, 20 years old, and not able to care for a baby. Not sure if the birth father knew of my birth.
