Additional Info
**UPDATE 11/30/18**\nReceived information that adoptee may not have been actually adopted at all. According to adoptee's daughter, she was an older minor when her mother Edith Post (wife of Norman Post, stepfather of adoptee) died as a result of a car accident that placed her in the hospital where she was the victim of malpractice (air bubble injected resulted in her death). From there, one of Edith's childhood friends took on caring for the adoptee. She has been known as Renee for years, and no one is really sure where the name "LaVain" came from. \n\nAdoptee passed away on 09/18/10 in AZ. I am searching specifically for adoptee's birth certificate. I am uncertain of the adoptee's first name spelling. I was told it is "Lavane" or "LaVain" or any other convention.
