Additional Info
There were 4 of us and I have heard 2 different stories. The first one was St. Joseph DSS took all 4 of us away from our parents we were living in a car. I have also heard that our parents dumped us under a park bench in Mishawaka IN. I am the oldest born in 1967, our brother was born 7/1968 and we believe the twin girls were born between Aug.-Oct. 1969. I have met our biological brother and still keep in touch with him today, I have talked to our biological grandmother Margaret Shaner (deceased in 2004?) and our birth mother Myra Shaner (deceased 2002?) Our brother talked and met with our biological grandparents Arza and Dorothy Weaver before they both passed and our biological father Arza M Weaver (I think he was the 3rd )(deceased recently). We were all 4 put into a orphange(group home) by DSS in St. Joseph County IN. We were split up the twins stayed together and our brother went to an adoptive home and I went to an adoptive home where my last name was switched to Capes. I switched my last name after my divorice back to Weaver in hopes of learning more about our biological family or if the twins were looking for us. Our birth names are as follows: Dorothy K Weaver 4/67, Arza M Weaver (either the 4th or 5th) 7/68 and Loretta and Patricia Weaver from Sept.-Oct. 1969.
