Additional Info
I'm trying to find my father's birth family. The adoption records are sealed. From my understanding he was adopted right after birth. We don't have any information on parents. Everything was pretty much kept hush hush by adoptive parents. After birth they moved to MICHIGAN. I recently found my dad's baby book, in the book there was a letter to his adoptive parents telling them about him. They called him Joey. He stayed with the Foster parents too he was about 5/6 months old.....my dad is around 5'10, slim build, dark brown hair and hazel/green eyes.....if they birth family doesn't want contact with him or myself, I understand. I would love ( my dad as well) to know my background and medical history. If you have any questions or information please contact me at mandajoy2356@gmail.com. thank you.
