Additional Info
Not sure if the people that adopted him changed his name. My dad told me that when he was in the military that he was told by one of his bosses that the people who adopted my brother were from Kokomo, Indiana. I don't know much about the adoption just what little my dad told me before he passed away. My mom doesn't really talk about it much and I don't like to ask a lot of questions. I would love to be able to find my brother one day.
