Surnames: UNKNOWN Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/CkB.2ACI/1825.2.2.1 Message Board Post: There must be a lot of kids available to adopt from expectant students from Baylor and Mary Hardin Baylor and other colleges nearby. I have heard that it is almost impossible to get a straight story from the family court in reference the adoption. I did post on the site where my cousin is currently living and some anonymous person came back with a theory who her real father is but it scared so much, I haven't made further inquiry. What can you tell me about your siblings and why were they put up for adoption? MAYBE I can help?

Andrea, Now that the HIPA law has gone into effect, hospitals are required to protect any information about the patients including their identity. So I wouldn't count on anything from them anymore.

He is also listed in the 1880 census in Bell County with his mother. If I have found the right Richard he was my grandmother's Beaula Damron Tune's father. Have been unable to develope a thread. Would appreciate any information.
