My mom (now deceased) was adopted. It was an open,private adoption, Grandma (deceased) stated she saw an ad in the Albuquerque newspaper (I assume the journal) stating this baby girl (age 2 at time) was available for adoption. She was born in 1934 and adopted in 1936 so I know it will be diificult to find this ad. any help or advice would be highly appreciated. She was born Hines, Mildred Jean 5-7-1934 F Elene Wennona Robertson Harrold H. Hines Val Verde Her adoption was Darr, Judith 5-6-1934 F Myrtle Dawley Roy Edgar Darr Val Verde Although she was born in Val Verde, Texas her birth mother and family was from Las Cruces, New Mexico her birth mother has been deceased for years, now with my mother and grandmother also deceased we have noone to ask questions of.
