Story is that she was born to a Miriam Woodward who checked into the hospital using the name Dorothy P Vogel (maiden name Luge). When the child was 8 yrs old the adoptive mother Dorothy had remarried Donald Brewster. He adopted the child at that time. During that adoption there was a comment made by the adopted mother about "I don't understand why I have to adopt you too". Not sure what kind of information will be available. Miriam Woodward if she is the birthmother passed in 1988 but it is possible it was her sister Gertrude who also passed. Waiting for a DNA test with Miriam's other daughter for confirmation.
