Has your friend's mother contacted the Nebraska Children's Home. The society's website has information about searching: http://adoption.nchs.org/searchservices/index.asp Given the limited information you have (no birth parents' names, or any other information) this is probably the best option. The dates you provide don't make sense; one or both of these must be in error? Best of luck! ----- Original Message ----- From: <gc-gateway@rootsweb.com> To: <NEDOUGLA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, January 05, 2008 5:29 PM Subject: [NEDOUGLA] Shepard/Hull adoption circa 1938 > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Author: suzieR|MA217082 > Surnames: > Classification: queries > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.nebraska.counties.douglas/4834/mb.ashx > > Message Board Post: > > I am helping a friend's mother to find who her real parents are. > According to the adoption papers I have, her pre-adoption name was Sandra > Dee Shepard, born May 12, 1937.
