All I know about him, is his last name is Steele. My mother was 22 and her name was Nancy Durhsen, my father was something Steele.I was born in Ventura County, Calif. in Foster Memorial hospital.My father was 26 in 1961, that puts him born right around 1935. I found my mother, unfortunatly she was killed in a plane crash in Colorado, in the 70's. I just want to find my father. If any of you know, of any "Steele" who is of this age, and had a baby girl and gave her up, please let me know. I hold no grudge. I am very grateful, and loved by my adopted family. They are my family, always have been. But I need to fill this void, the one that all adopties have. Just to put the pieces together.
