Additional Info
Ironically today is the day in 1966 that my birth mother died of breast cancer at General Hospital in KC MO. Both my birth parents are deceased. I was lucky enough to have been found by a cousin in the early 80's, I am simply looking for anyone who has information about where my mother's remains are located, her body was donated to science. I am also looking for anyone who knows any history of the women who stayed at the Jefferson Home for Women and Children in KC MO in the early to mid 50's. Any help will be greatly appreciated, as MO still refused to release my original birth certificate, tho they gave my biological sister hers in the early 90's, and violated my rights and my birth mother's rights by sharing info we had not agreed could be shared. ( I only found out I had a biological sister in the early 90's, when our cousin came looking for us. ) The state of MO denies this, tho I have proof, and they continue to deny me my birth certificate. Any help with any of this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
