I had two brothers that were put into Lucas County Children's Services.
The other one's name was Kevin. Shannon and Kevin Bates. Approximately 2 3 yrs old in 1973 the last time I saw them. Shannon was about 3, and Kevin about 2. I might have the birth year off? Along with where you were born, but you were definitely given to Lucas County Children's Services in Toledo, Ohio in 1973. I have searched for 44 years for you both, so if you have a brother about a year apart? You could be the answer to my prayers.
