Looking for birth sibling

I was just in Florida at my birth mom's memorial. She passed on June 9, 2010. I was able to talk to several friends/family members and we found out there was another child before me probably her senior year in high school so 1969/1970. I was born in April 1971 so this baby had to have been born by May of 1970. There is a possibility we know the birth father and obviously it's still Diana L Steffey birthmom. If there is anyone out there born in Clinton, Iowa in that year and at Jane Lamb… Continue

I am looking for my birth mother

I am searching for my birth mother and family. I am male and was born in Dubuque, IA on Feb 17, 1964, at 10:17 am. My birth took place at Finley Hospital and I was delivered by Dr Jon(?)Graves. My adoptive parents were Bertha and Norbert Stuer (both deceased) who resided in Clinton, IA. The only thing my adoptive mother could tell me about my birth mother was that she was a "horse woman", which leads me to believe she may have been an equestrian rider during the 1960's. I would like to get to… Continue

Made Progress searching birth records in Johnson County Recorder's office!!!!!!!!! I know my birth name!

My daughter and I went to the recorder's office in Johnson County to look up the birth records on my birthday. In JC, the "seal" that is placed over a baby's record is a sticker. We did not remove and stickers, but you could tell that people had done so. My record had been pulled up and pasted back down previous to our visit.



My birth name was baby girl Rhodenbaugh. My mother's maiden name is Josephine Frances Neuburn age 37, I also found the birth record of one brother who is five… Continue
