I am now 40 years young, am married and have 2 children of my own. I was put in foster care in 1978 and was adopted by the same family in 1985. I have a great family now and am glad my life was changed the day I was adopted. My mother Lucille Gorman/Nelson is in a nursing home in Montgomery city Missouri. She goes under the name "Mary". I have not seen her in many years. Judy, my sister is in a adult care center for the mentally challenged. I am not sure where that is and have not been in contact with her since I was 15. George, my brother is in and out of the state prison. As far as I know he is in Jefferson City Prison in Missouri. I would very much like to know as much information as I can about my biological family. The state of Missouri was VERY limited to what information they would give me about my past. I would be most grateful for any info you may have. Thank you, Loretta Nelson Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
