On your birth certificate, they list the state and that is usually not altered.

My "New birth certificate" that the white family had made, showed them as my birth parents. However, I had been told that the maternal father had actually paid $100.00 for me. For the longest time, I was told that my real family were poor Mexicans who could not feed me. But I started trying to find out more information about my real family when I heard I was bought like a piece of clothing. I had never heard of an adoptee bought before. I always felt isolated, was physically abused, and somehow always knew my real family was alive and woukd never have abandoned me to a white family. It was only when I was a teenager and wanted to start making beadwork, and bustles to join an Indian dance group, did my adopted mother let it slip that I was native American when she made disparaging remarks about both my people and me. I was still an infant when I was taken, the date of the birth certificate say November 7, 1962. However, there are no records of my birth where I was told I was born. I know now that I mist have already been several months old when taken. If you have any information that coukd help me in finding my fa.ily. I woukd greatly appreciate it.Timothy Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02492775578670858997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6969975344623261.post-91840019967792834752013-10-12T08:48:17.161-04:002013-10-12T08:48:17.161-04:00Contact Terry Cross at the National Indian Child W...Contact Terry Cross at the National Indian Child Welfare offices in Portland, Oregon - either call or write. You can also contact Sandy WhiteHawk in Minnesota at her website: http://www.wearecominghome.com/Sandy_White_Hawk.html -- they will have some ideas for you up in Alaska. America - the gov't - did this to many Indigenous families - and it needs to end by opening records for adoptees. I am so sorry this happened to your family.<br />My email is: tracedemeyer@yahoo.comLThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08395257432521760435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6969975344623261.post-10320927906909610902013-10-12T04:04:25.434-04:002013-10-12T04:04:25.434-04:00Looking for adoptees born in Tanana Indian Hospita...Looking for adoptees born in Tanana Indian Hospital in Alaska during the "Indian Adoption Program".

To many of my relatives whose children were talked out of them prior to giving birth in the Alaska area, this was a part of their lives taken from them. I have had 3 cousins who have gotten their BIA records of birth and found their mother. It is sad because it was after she began suffering from Alzheimers disease. I have had another cousin reunited with our tribe recently. I have been searching for clues as to which nurse from the Tanana Hospital adopted my sister in law either 1960 or after 1962. I would like to know who can help us to find her as her brother is in last stages of terminal cancer. 1 brother has died in a car accident and their mother passed away in 1967. There are 3 brothers surviving. Ages 58, 50, 43. We are members of an Alaskan tribe. I have found that BIA has sealed records of all adoptees from that hospital.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
