She was a waitress and 34 yr old. Lived in West Hartford Ct with an Aunt until July 1969 then moved to west Palm fl.\nHer and the children then lived with her Uncle in West Palm.\nBeen told she got pregnant again and gave that boy up as well. \nBirth mother's parents divorced when she was very young. She had no contact with her father Anthony Sipala (1911-1988) \nHer mother was Rose Marie Walden-Sipala-O'Neill. Had 3 other children with second husband. James O'neill, Eddy O'Neill and Lois O'Neill.\n\nI was placed with a receiving family on 9/29/69. \nMy adoptive family took me home 11/21/69 and adoption finalized 06/4/1970.\nI was adopted through Children's home society of West Palm beach Fl.\nI was 6 lbs 15 oz \n\nThe caseworker for CHS was Elizabeth A. Schwab\nThe Judge was James R. Knott\n\nThe agency had searched for my birth mother and told me she passed away in 2016. Cause of death was Dementia (which was worsening) and also Sepsis from something chronic.\nSince she kept her pregnancy a secret, I was denied any identifying info and they would not search for my half siblings. I found them on my own doing ancestry DNA.\n\nUPDATE: FOUND BIRTH SIBLINGS. Lois and Jimmy... Birth mother passed away in 2016. There is another half brother born between 1970-1972 given up for adoption in HARTFORD, CT area between July 1970 & April 1972. \nWould like to find this other half brother.
