Additional Info
I recently learned my mother gave birth and gave up a baby boy to adoption in either late 1961, or more likely, 1962. She likely gave birth either in Santa Rosa or Napa, California. I think I may know the biological father’s name, but have not yet confirmed this information. She later married in 1968 and her married name became Titilah.
