I too am searching in Chicago. I have a Brother born in 1954 or 55 and a sister born in 1953 or 54. I don't know if they were put up for adoption or not. I was born in 1958 and adopted right away., I am working with a woman from the White Oak Foundation. Her name is Melisha Mitchell and she might know someone who can help with the birth index. Her number is 312-666-5721. My birth name was Emmerich so I doubt that our stories are related. Were you adopted as an older child or an infant? mk
