My mom's maiden name is Martin, she married my dad - Paulovich - than Daddy filed for divorce in Oct of 1971. I know for sure she had the baby in 1971. I was 12 yrs old and living with daddy. I want to say this was in September, but just cannot remember for sure. Mom had the baby. Left the hosptial with her. Tried to keep her,but my step-dad would not let her. My aunt had the baby for a few weeks. Than could not keep her. My aunt has now passed away. Than my mom let a family in Alexandria (Jefferson Manor) adopt her. This family had 2 other older children. They left the Jefferson Manor area when my sister was little. Don't know how old little was. I don't know the aodoptive parents names. Jefferson Manor is a little neighborhood of Alexandria. The adoptive family lived off Fairhaven Drive and had 2 other children that went to Mt.Eagle Elementary. I was told my an old friend of my m! others' that my sister name is Kim.
