Hi,
I know that you left this post here in August of 2006 and I just read it tonight and I do have a suggestion that might work for you. Do you know of any kind of adoption support group of any kind in Ecuador? You can find out from local newspaper and maybe old police records from Quito about news about adoptions or that doctor? I am also an adoptee and I hope that you find your family. :)
[QUOTE=Jpowellm]My story is something right out of the movies. And yet it is not as uncommon as you might think. I am looking for my Full-Blood Sister. Yet I don't know where I was born, who my mother or father were, when I was born, or any of the relative information on my sister. I was abandoned at age 2 and the courts and my adoptive parents, made up a name for me, a birthday, and birth city. Only a year after I was adopted the attorney who handled my case told my adoptive parents that I had a sister. 5 years older than I was. Adopted the year after I was to another American family. I have a full-blooded sister out there, living I hope, and walking the streets of America same as me, and I would love to find her. But without any information connecting us it's impossible. I have even contacted Oprah if you can believe that to help, but to no avail. Even Private Investigators wouldn't be able to help without any specific information connecting us. The only things I know, is that I was 2 in 1975 when I was adopted, and she was about 7 or 8 in 1976. That our Attorney's name was Dr. Olivar and we were both living in Quito, Ecuador at the time of our abandonment. But who knows for certain if that is where we were born. Dr. Olivar ( not even sure I am spelling it right) is deceased now, and all of his records no longer are accessible or even exist. It was early to mid 70's after all and it was in the Andes Mts. With the Amazon Jungle not far below. Records such as they were, are not kept. I do not have any money, but if anyone knows of any way to help. I am desperate and open to new ideas.[/QUOTE]

My story seems to be the typical adoption story as well: I am looking for anyone in my birth family, but also have limited information as my adoption was a "closed" adoption. Birth mom's name was Cynthia, and she was 26 years old; birth father's name was Rick (or that's what she knew him by) and he was 28. I have/had a sister that would be around 24-25 (she was 4 yrs old at the time I was placed for adoption). I was born in Tyler, Texas, and the adoption was done through Buckner Adoption & Maternal Services. I would appreciate information on how I can go about either getting more information, or how could I find any of them? That would be very helpful.

Ok my story is well typical....i was born in ketchikan, alaska in 1970 Dr. Carr was my doctor. My Birthmother gave me up at 2 mnths old my birthname was April Dawn Spencer,**'s names was Trudy Ann Spencer. My adopted parents adopted me and we moved to ny then VA and i've bounced between Va, NC since then. I have three wonderful children my first Tyler i gave up for adoption because i was young and was pretty much made to by my family. i've had two children since then my boys talk via myspace all the time. I KNOW my role in ty's life and it Birthmother and thats it. I really want to find my birthmother because i'd like to find my birth father and claim my heritage, i believe i am 1/2 native alaskan indain and need proof for me and my child. but i have hit every brick wall know to man, its like she just disappeared after i was born. Anyone have any ideas i cant pay for an investig. and i'm doing this on my own.
I've been searching for 16 years now.....i hope i find something out and soon.
