It is reported that my grandmother was a child of a family friend; she was very young when she was adopted. My grandmother has been told that her birth mother was a teacher and her birth father was an attorney. My grandmother was also told that her birth father was not married to her birth mother but to another woman. Anyone who may be familiar with this story or suggestions on how to track down my grandmother's birth parents, I welcome you ideas.
