I was placed there myself in the early 1970's (along with 125 other children.) I knew most of them well. I'm fine now that I'm 50 years old, but not knowing my family (other than my brothers & sisters, also placed there) has left me looking on the internet for my "blood" relatives -- PERRY H BREWER family. My mother was originally at Bethany in 1941, where she was "adopted" by a minister & his wife. I'm told back in the day-1940 or so- many times a ride in the car meant you had new parents. My mother had a ride like that in 1941, I took a similar ride arranged by Bethany, in 1972. Not that long ago. I only pray they have changed their practices of hiding children from their rightful families, and keeping the facts secret. I have returned to Bethany 4 times to try to get info. I even tried to get a job there as a teacher to do research and try to protect..no avail. Good luck Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
