Author: rmarystang Surnames: Stanek Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.michigan.counties.wayne/3843.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I saw your post and I'm wondering if this is the same Stanek family. My husband was born 2/28/1970 in Detroit, MI, Wayne County. He was given up for adoption 2 weeks later. His adopted mother has told us that she remembers sneaking a peek at his original birth certificate and the name he was given was either Gerald or Gregory Stanek. Stanek for sure is the last name. My husband and I are looking for his birth mother, birth father or any sibling that he may have. His name now is John Brevoort and he grew up in Southgate, MI and went to Catholic school. Does anyone know of a young Stanek mother who would have been forced to give her son up for adoption. Please reply if you do, he's been waiting a very long time and just turned 42.

You might check the births listed in the local newspaper for dates of the 28th or shortly after. I was adopted in 1943 and I always wondered the names of my biological parents. Visited the morgue of the daily paper when I was in my teens but didn't see any child born at the hospital on my amended birth certificate. My Mom helped me to have my records opened when I was 40 as I had an interest in genealogy. It helped that she had a good friend who worked at our local court house who was close to the Family Court Judge. Turned out I had seen my birth announcement but they had changed the name of the hospital.
