Additional Info
The adoptee was my mother. She died in 2010, but she told me that she had attempted to find her birth family and had been told the court records were sealed. She said she had reason to believe she may have 4-5 siblings who were also adopted out as neglected children. She was adopted 24 Sept 1937 by a court order in Comanche County, the residence of the adoptive parents. I have the number of the court record from her adoption records and her adoptive birth certificate.
