Additional Info
William Blake (adopted name) is an adoptee looking for his birth mother, Merry Beth (?) KESLER or any of her relatives. The adoptee was born in October 1969 in Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon. The July 1970 Multnomah County adoption decree refers to him as "Baby Boy KESLER" and states that his birth parents were unmarried. We believe that the birth mother Merry Beth KESLER (born about 1953) moved from Indiana to Oregon as a teenager and lived at the Albertina Kerr unwed mothers' home in Portland. Based upon the adoption decree, KESLER is the surname of the adoptee's birth mother. The adoptive parents never met or communicated with the teenage birth parents and have no additional information. The adoption was handled by the Albertina Kerr Home in Portland. His adoptive name became William Glen Blake. He now has multiple children and grand-children. We have found no records relating to the birth mother, Merry Beth (?) KESLER, and do not even know if she is alive or deceased. Based upon DNA testing of the adoptee (23andme, August 2022), the maternal haplogroup of the birthmother KESLER (and her maternal-only line) is T2b. No DNA cousins of hers have yet been confirmed. The information above was supplied by David Clemens, an uncle of the adoptee's son.
