I am helping my son-in-law locate his birth mother. His birth name was Boniface Sweeney and born in Alabama, we think Mobile. His mother was 19 years of age and working as a secretary.. She was Catholic and a Catholic Charity handled the adoption. They will only give us medical info. He was born June 5, l963 in Alabama, his dad we think was attending the University of Alabama. The adopted name is Michael Joyce. The parents we understand had dated about 2 years before his birth. According to the adoption files both grandfathers were blind. We really though this was strange. Her father was a diabetic. If anyone knows of a Sweeney in Alabama (possibly Mobile) that gave a child up for adoption would you please contact me.
