There is a question about dates as I found a picture which I looked a bit older than written on the back. Birth certificate says I was born in Covina, California. After my I adoption, I lived in Hesperia, CA for many years. Adopted parents said I was born at home or somewhere other than the hospital. I was adopted as Denise Stiles but believe my birth name may have been Betty Slaight. I received a blacked out copy of non-identifying info from the state which did not have the name Slaight blacked out. I believe this may be my mothers last name or maiden name. Seeking birth parents and relatives. Denise Stiles-Gephart c/o Kim Walker 17386 Mesquite Road Apple Valley, CA 92307 nascar24n48@verizon.net PLEASE PUT ADOPTION IN THE EMAIL SUBJECT LINE.
