Keeping up with the schedule

We had some visitors this week during my regularly scheduled search time, so I'm moving my search day to Wednesday this week. :)

Non-ID and Placement Info

Today I visited our parents house and found all of April's adoption paperwork and made copies and scans of the whole envelope.

I have her non-id info for her birth-parents:

Non-ID of April's Birth-parents

I also have her placement information from the Family Service Association in Lincoln, Nebraska:

Placement info from the Family Service Association

I also have scans of lawyer information and her amended birth certificate with our adoptive parents names on it.

Here is a basic summary of all the information we have:

I am searching for my sister's birth-family. She was born at 6:55am on July 26, 1979 to a 16-year-old girl in Lincoln, Nebraska at St. Elizabeth Community Health Center. The doctor's attending the birth were E.R. Schwenke and V. Ottun. Her non-id info says that her birthmother had blue eyes, light brown hair, fair skin, was 5' 5.5" tall, weight 130 pounds, that she had completed 10th grade and was currently a student. Her nationality is listed as Greek, Irish, and English. She is nearsighted and wears glasses and is right-handed. Her grandmother is listed as having brown eyes, dark brown hair, fair complexion, was 5'6" or 5'7" tall, and very slender. Her sister was listed as having brown eyes and medium brown hair. Her birth-father is listed as being 19 years old, with brown eyes and medium brown hair, fair skin, 5'8" tall, 145 pounds. He completed the 9th grade in school and is listed as a laborer. He is right-handed. My sister was placed with our adoptive parents through the Family Service Association in Lincoln, Nebraska by Idella Schreckinger on August 1, 1979. Her adoption hearing was held on May 6, 1980 at 11am in the County Court of Lancaster County, Nebraska. Her adoptive parents were represented by the law firm of Berry, Anderson & Creager.

I've updated her registry info at FindMyFamily.org and G's Adoption Registry, and added this search to more registries at Adoption.com, AdopteeConnect.com, and the Metro Reunion Registry,

Introduction to us!

Hello there!

I am Lisa Holcomb. My sister is April Marie Larson. We were both adopted as children into the Larson family. We had wonderful childhoods, but now as adults we have begun to be interested in finding our birth families. I found mine about a decade ago, but April is just starting her search. We have her registered at a few adoptee reunion search websites, but haven't had any hits in the last year, so we're starting this in hopes that we can track our steps and spread out on our search.

Our next post will give as many of April's known facts as we have about her birth.  Thanks for reading!
